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.

3D Car Collision Reaction
I highly recommend using a physics library. The math involved here isn't simple and implementing it yourself will be a world of pain that produces a buggy end-product. If you have a lot of time before your deadline, I recommend PhysX. It's pretty simple to implement (at least assuming you're using Windows+MSVC or Linux+gcc -- any other compiler mix will be a debugging hell) and will allow you to do a bunch of stuff that you wouldn't be able to do otherwise (continuous collision, joints, and even built-in vehicle and tire simulation). If you don't have much time before your deadline, use the qu3e library. It's straightforward to set up, small, and easy to use.
