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.

Is it possible and realistic to learn independent of an API?
Sort of, I'd recommend a modern higher level API. I'm not sure what the current recommended ones are (probably bgfx), but assuming the wrapper is "low level enough", then the concepts you learn are still going to apply.

Ask HN: Released games built on FOSS engines?
https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx for just that FOSS intermediate rendering library (includes Minecraft)

LWJGL = SFML vs Allegro vs SDL vs Ogre vs ???
There's kind of a lack of this for C++ in 3D, I think it's often due to the necessity of a secondary scripting language in game engines with C++, which isn't necessarily needed in Java or C#. SFML is like that (but also 2D), Godot is similar (but more geared towards 2D). Ogre3D is an actual engine like I mentioned earlier, not sure how easy it is to use. Cocos2d is higher level, but is also 2D only. I'm not fond of SDL, it feels like a windowing library with slow old school immediate mode stuff attached, so it ends up not being good at the rest of the tacked on things. SDL is popular as a windowing library, and it's why you see it used everywhere (but the most notable uses of it aren't using their drawing capabilities), I often see bgfx thrown around, and for you it might be a good choice, though I have no experience with it.

Is it a crazy idea to create a 3D operating system?
Another route could be using an abstraction over Vulkan (faster, more efficient, more difficult): bgfx, dawn, magma, or wgpu (Rust).
-
The update we all want but will never get
my guess for why renderdragon made performance worse is because old bedrock was built on bgfx which is a layer of abstraction ontop of a bunch of graphics apis which benefits the programmer because they can write the graphics code once and use it on a bunch of graphics apis (just like java! i heart cross compatibility)
now, java is actually quite a performant language and even if its not most of the performance bugs in mc are due to it being single threaded, inefficient chunk generation and optimizing, and it built ontop of opengl WHICH isn't much of a performance hit but its still ehh idk it doesn't matter that much (NOW SWITCHING THE GAME TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GRAPHICS API WOULD SUCK ASS TO DO (and vulkan is quite verbose :))) (AND also bgfx would probably be better due to it being an abstraction layer ontop of all the graphics apis so minecraft could target many depending on your platform (and also bedrock used to (or still does i dont know) use bgfx before they switched to just two (IF IM READING MC WIKI RIGHT BECAUSE IM NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF THEY USE BGFX STILL ?? SO THEY COULD STILL BE TARGETING MULTIPLE YET THEY JUST WROTE THEIR NEW SHIT BAD IDK))

C++ Game Engine?
I believe Urho3d supports MacOS (see 'about' page on the legacy website).
-
I'd like to learn game engine development - where to even start?
If you're literally clueless your best bet is to first start learning with an existing clean-ish engine like Urho3D implementing whatever feature/screwing-around or start with a framework like nVidia's Donut that gets you your window and basic rendering in place.

Game engine for programmars
You could try Urho3D or its newer fork rbfx.
-
Preferred game engine
I use an engine called rbfx which is a fork of the Urho3D engine. A lot of it is just the fact that I've been using it for over a decade, so I am comfortable with it. I'm a programmer, not really comfortable with integrated editor engines such as Unity or Godot, and the easy C++ extensibility of the engine appeals to me. Plus it's decently powerful, and well supported on a lot of platforms (I build for Windows, WebGL, and very occasionally RPi for the most part) and is open source to satisfy that stubbornly libertarian side of my character.

What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux?
You might be interested in Urho3D.
-
I need a REALLY lightweight engine
If you don't mind something experimental, there is a C# version of Urho3D that is in fairly active development. There is also a C#-scriptable branch of the Urho3D fork, rbfx, located here. Both of these projects are still pretty in-the-works, but are still pretty usable.

Twitter's new font, Chirp, is apparently giving some users headaches
This looks very much as if the font renderer is aggressively hinting to the pixel grid vertically, but not horizontally. That’s a known trick for getting a decent compromise between crisp text (along the baselines and tops of letters) with subpixel horizontal kerning.
I doubt the Android renderer is really broken and no-one has noticed until now, so I’d guess the font either has bad hinting, or more likely it’s just being displayed at an awkward size and vertical positions are being rounded in an awkward way. You can see the slight deviations from the baseline in the iOS screenshots, it’s just much more subtle as it isn’t being hinted.
(Source: I contributed a little bit to font rendering in Urho3D, to fix some similar text aliasing glitches: https://github.com/urho3d/Urho3D/issues/1953)

3D game engine for lower end pcs
Urho3D works on mobiles, Windows, Mac, and even on the R Pi. It's a code-first engine with a minimal editor.
-
2D game framework/engine that is mostly code driven (not GUI-driven)
Urho3D, rbfx
-
Godot support for 3D is too primitive, and Unity has become a wild mess over the years. Is Unreal Engine the only remaining option for 3D projects?
You might give rbfx a look. It is an actively developed fork of Urho3D that has pretty decent, and actively developed, 3D rendering.
