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.

Defold is also a completely FREE industry proven 2D game engine, developed by King and source available, for anyone who's interested..
Yes that King, the ones who made Candy Crush. They made a game engine source available (open source with the exception that you can't create a competing game engine from it) with full 2D capabilities, tile map support, spine support, shaders, particle systems, UI editor, scene editor, Box 2D and Bullet for physics, hot-reloading, profiling & debugging tools, etc. It also has basic 3D support, although I wouldn't recommend it for anyone making a primarily 3D game. It's written in C++ and uses Lua as the scripting language, and it's easy enough to write native extensions for any platform's language of choice.

ValueObject
looks very neat, but it doesn't really get more OO than JavaFX, does it ? would you call this code functional & idiomatic in any relevant sense of the term? https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/dev/editor/src/clj/edi...

C# games in Godot, 2022 edition
Maybe that's typical in gaming situations, but it has a weird license: https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/1.3.4/LICENSE.txt ("the Defold License version 1.0")

Lua, Nim, and Wren for game development
If you paint by some numbers, the Defold repo (https://github.com/defold/defold) has 1k issues, and only 14 prs open, whereas the Godot repo (https://github.com/godotengine/godot) has 5k+ issues and a whopping 1.1k prs open. And a difference of 1500 contributors on Godot, versus 37 total contributors on Defold.

The MonoGame Foundation launch
To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

OSS Game Engines are increasing their stars on GitHub due to Unity's missteps
Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.
Example of a game framework: http://www.monogame.net.

Unity's Trap
Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame
Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.
Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

Which tools should I use to create my game ?
Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).
