What's some github repo to take a look at to get a grasp of real-world C++?

There has been a lot of library restructuring and redesigning the past months.
A new library has been added axl.ge, being for a game engine. All my attention and effort is on this library and its dependencies, axl.ds, axl.math, and axl.glfl.

Making a game in C++
I also have a data structure library axl.ds, a maths library axl.math, a very organized opengl function loading library axl.glfl, and a media loading library axl.media

Thorium – A Starship Bridge Simulator
Thorium is great; it's closer to a virtual tabletop for starship RPGs than a standalone game, built around creating interactive narratives. That sets it apart from the more straightforward game-style bridge sims, like Artemis[1] and EmptyEpsilon[2], which have scriptable scenarios with narrative elements but have more fundamentally game-focused mechanics.
All of these get used in a lot of fun ways for live events beyond their design, too. Thorium's "family tree" comes from interactive events at planetariums, and EmptyEpsilon, being open-source with an HTTP API and game-master screen for directly manipulating live game state and pretending to be ships, became a popular front-end for European LARPs.[3]

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
Empty Epsilon bridge simulator: https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon
The game itself is fun, but the best stuff I've seen is it being reused, modified, and adapted for LARPs and crowdplay.
Out of Orbit is a great and ongoing example, a Finnish escape room-ish experience that also has a Twitch game putting stream chat in the role of the ship's AI: https://outoforbit.fi/ and https://www.twitch.tv/outoforbitgame/about
Empty Epsilon powers the game part, with integrations using its DMX interface and HTTP API to provide hardware interfaces and things like Twitch chat commands modifying the game state.

10 player LAN Party: What are some good games?
EmptyEpsilon - a free multiplayer bridge simulator. Each ship is typically crewed by 3-6 people, but you can run multiple ships in the same game or get mods that add/change roles.

Is there any current Co-op tank game with campaign (against AI enemies? Not RTS, not multiplayer, just driver and gunner doing missions in a campaign.
"the open source": Empty Epsilon. A little more complex of a simulation than Artemis, but feels much more limited from a mission standpoint, mostly due to lack of development from that aspect. Does away with the "Star Trek" feel of Artemis for a more industrial feeling.
