Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Gearing up for Lua
If you're familiar with awesome-lists, you'll be happy to know that an awesome-lua repository does in fact exist. This list contains more interesting stuff about the language, along with going deeper into certain niches that I'm not even going to start to touch.

What's your opinion on Lua programming language?
Lua has a lot going for it. Its memory footprint is nicely small, its practical expressiveness is quite high (though not as high as Python's or Perl's), luajit's runtime performance is very good for such a highly-expressive language, and it has a great set of libraries integrating with a lot of commonly-used services.

Advice to Aimless, Excited Programmers (2010)
I believe there is a way to accomplish this without seeking input from people on Reddit or message boards for new domains to contribute to.
There are lists on Github that curate libraries native to a particular programming language. For example, there is a list for Lua (https://github.com/LewisJEllis/awesome-lua) and another for Python (https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python). Explore these lists to identify areas that may require assistance. Some of these lists have not been updated for years, so it is worthwhile to conduct additional research on the domain before undertaking a project.
I have personally completed a project using this approach, although I did have some background knowledge in that domain.

Where do I go after learning lua?
This was a list I got in my mind without googling... for more inspiration and see what others are doing take a look at awesome Lua: https://github.com/LewisJEllis/awesome-lua
- Library support situation?

there seems to be an alarmingly small amount of support for lua compared with other programming languages
Check out awesome-love2d on github, there's tons of libraries for all sorts of stuff including UI. Also check out awesome-lua.

Any good Lua Modules out there ?
So I’m 100% not the person to ask but usually the “awesome” lists on GitHub are a good place to start. Here is the awesome-lua repo for example.

Beginneer's guide to using Luarocks on neovim plugins
Disclaimer: i'm still new to this world as well, i went through this for making use of luacheck, a linter tool for Lua, but the possibilities are just endless, you can take a peek at some awesome-lua repo on GitHub to find out the amazing tools that you can implement to your projects

Give your brain time to think and remember
In a similar vein, the developer of BYTEPATH used to use Github issues as their blog. I also thought it was clever. You even get a commenting and reaction system for free!

Resources for making 2d game engine
As for resources, not sure on physical books, but here are a couple of resources I found useful when I started with it: Sheepolution Bytepath's Articles

Any good quality open-source games without game engine?
bytepath tutorial takes you through the creation of a game. Code seems fine, but I haven't looked at it that hard. Unlike most tutorials, it asks you to answer some questions yourself and to implement some content yourself. Seems like a good learning exercise and translating Lua -> C++ will keep you from cooypasting.

Making games
Instead of following tutorials, follow a game making lesson. Try something like the bytepath tutorial, use whatever language/framework you want, and figure out the details of how to make it all work. It will force you to work like a real programmer: googling for how to do things until you've retained enough to solve simple problems on your own (then you Google for harder solutions).

I found a curated list of project-based tutorials to help you learn
I've noticed lots of people on here feel like imposters because they don't know how to build something from scratch. If you want to practice building things from scratch, check this repo out. It has +70k stars on github, and covers over 20 different programming languages . The projects range from simple (todo list) to advanced (build an excel clone, C compiler, and even a game). I'm not affiliated with this repo, simply stumbled on it and thought of this community.
