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?

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/C++]How do "header only" source files work?
Currently I'm looking at a "header only" cute_tiled.h library that includes this instruction:
-
[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.

Text UIs != Terminal UIs

good high-level ncurses library
Notcurses. Install it and run notcurses-demo to be suitably impressed.

Ratatui: Build rich terminal user interfaces
Same for me, I would be much more motivated if there was something like textual for Rust. Given the capability of terminal emulators now I think Rust is lacking behind in the TUI field. Just checkout what can be done with something like notcurses

Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?
On the application side of rendering, see notcurses, it is at the leading edge: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses

Io Uring
The broader world probably knows him best for the terminal handling library Notcurses[1] and a lot of telling terminal emulator authors to get their shit together.
I’ve had his grad-school project libtorque[2] (HotPar ’10), an event-handling and scheduling library, on my to-read list for years, but I can’t seem to figure out how it accomplishes the interesting things it does.

Are We Sixel Yet
In XTerm, this (rightly) makes no difference. In Foot and Contour however, you still end up a line resp. a screen below where you started, if now with the correct horizontal position.
So it seems to me like what you want should work by default, except it doesn’t.
It should be possible to instead just treat the whole thing as a graphical overlay (by computing or directly asking for the character cell size, as Kirill Panov rightly admonishes me is possible with XTWINOPS) without touching the cursor; that’s what the “sixel scrolling” setting (DECSDM) is supposed to do. Then you can just manually move the cursor forward however many positions after you’re done drawing.
Except apparently the DEC manual (the VT330/340 one above) and DEC hardware contradict each other as to which setting of DECSDM (set or reset) corresponds to which scrolling state (enabled or disabled), and XTerm has implemented it according to the manual not the VT3xx[1,2,3]—then most other emulators followed suit[4]—then XTerm switched to following the hardware[5,6] (unless you and that’s what I’m seeing on my machine right now. So now you need to check if you’re on XTerm ≥ 369 or not[7]. If I’m reading the Notcurses code right, other terminals have followed suit[8].
Again, ouch.
P.S. It seems DEC had an internal doc for how their terminals should operate (DEC STD 070) [9]. It does not document DECSDM at all.

And there's also the notcurses library:
What are some alternatives?
Craft - A simple Minecraft clone written in C using modern OpenGL (shaders).
rich - Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.
gainput - Cross-platform C++ input library supporting gamepads, keyboard, mouse, touch
FTXUI - Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang
bgfx - Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

sixvid - Simple script for animated GIF viewing using sixels
SDLPoP - An open-source port of Prince of Persia, based on the disassembly of the DOS version.
tcell - Tcell is an alternate terminal package, similar in some ways to termbox, but better in others.
cstore_fdw - Columnar storage extension for Postgres built as a foreign data wrapper. Check out https://github.com/citusdata/citus for a modernized columnar storage implementation built as a table access method.
