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.

How many colors are too many colors for Windows Terminal?
- https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...
It's a simple and relatively straightforward approach that a sufficiently bright programmer would come up in their own while looking at the design constraints though, so overall I find it a bit meaningless to find the ultimate person for the "original idea".

How does a Game Engine work? An Overview
The verdict for indie developers (not using Unity/Unreal) seems: just bite the bullet and buy FMOD (or Wwise or any of the popular proprietary audio engies).
I was actually searching for a good open-source audio library to use, and found out that my options aren't that good. SoLoud is a pain in the ass to install and integrate into an existing codebase, and OpenAL doesn't have any good implementations available (either proprietary or LGPL). I'm now just using a simple single-header audio library in cute_headers (https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...), but will probably switch to MiniAudio once the high-level API is finished (https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio/issues/196)

[C++] A Free Open Source Colliders Library - Line, Circle, Box and Point
Thanks for the pure collision library share! As far as collision goes, decided to look up other libraries! 3D alternatives https://github.com/flexible-collision-library/fcl Alternatives to yours https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers

Looking for code only game engine
single header libraries (https://github.com/nothings/stb , https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers , etc) can do some of the heavy lifting. I use stb for OGG and PNG decoding, also true type support, and maybe a few other things.

What Are Const Generics and How Are They Used in Rust?
I was working through an example in the repo for the Bevy game engine recently and came across this code

WebAssembly Playground
That's possible. I did spend quite a bit of time tinkering with compiler flags, and followed the recommendations.
Some notes I found just now seems to agree with my results, though: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3978#issuecomment-...

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I cannot recommend immediate mode GUI programming based on the limitations I've experienced working with egui.
egui does not support putting two widgets in the center of the screen: https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3211
It's really easy to get started with immediate mode, it's really easy to bust out some UI, but the second you start trying to involve dynamically resized context and responsive layouts -- abandon all hope. The fact it has to calculate everything in a single pass makes these things hard/impossible.
... that said, I'm still using it for https://ant.care/ (https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants) because it's the best thing I've found. I'm crossing my fingers that Bevy's UI story (or Kayak https://github.com/StarArawn/kayak_ui) become significantly more fleshed out sooner rather than later. Bevy 0.13 should have lots more in this area though (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/9538)

ECS, Finally
I've also been enjoying building My First Game™ in Bevy using ECS. The community around Bevy really shines, but Flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs) is arguably a more mature, open-source ECS implementation. You don't get to write in Rust, though, which makes it less cool in my book :)
I'm not very proud of the code I've written because I've found writing a game to be much more confusing than building websites + backends, but, as the author notes, it certainly feels more elegant than OOP or globals given the context.
I'm building for WASM and Bevy's parallelism isn't supported in that context (yet? https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4078), so the performance wins are just so-so. Sharing a thread with UI rendering suuucks.
If anyone wants to browse some code or ask questions, feel free! https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants

Intel CEO: 'The entire industry is motivated to eliminate the CUDA market'
These days, some game engines have done pretty well at making compute shaders easy to use (such as Bevy [1] -- disclaimer, I contribute to that engine). But telling the scientific/financial/etc. community that they need to run their code inside a game engine to get a decent experience is a hard sell. It's not a great situation compared to how easy it is on NVIDIA's stack.

Capturing the WebGPU Ecosystem
Most of Nanite (at least, everything but the LOD system, I haven't tried that part, and the compute rasterizer due to lack of storage image atomics because Metal lacks them...) is implementable in WebGPU actually.
I have a PR that does a lot of the same things (meshlets, visbuffer, material depth, two pass occlusion culling) open for Bevy https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164 that I've been working on, which uses WebGPU.
WebGPU is actually a pretty good API imo. It's missing some advanced features like raytracing, mesh shaders, and subgroup operations (coming soon!), but it can still do a lot.
The much bigger missing feature is "bindless" support (non-uniform arrays of bound resources). BindGroup overhead (and ergonomics) is a significant downside.

Northlight makes Alan Wake 2 shine
ECS architectures are used in a number of young open source game engines, such as Bevy[1]. I haven't done game development for a long time, but hearing about an architecture that does away with the heavy and complex OOP you often see in games makes me want to dip my toes in again and check it out.
