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.

Dos-like: Engine for making things with a MS-DOS feel, but for modern platforms
I’m assuming “DOS feel” means there’s no dynamic linker so the implementation has to be contained in header files?

Writing bindings to `dos-like` for Rust: some lessons learned
So when I had some spare time the past weekend, I decided to do something a bit different: bring to Rust an existing framework that lets you write applications which look like they are DOS applications. dos-like, made by Mattias Gustavsson, is like a small engine for writing modern applications with the look & feel of MS-DOS programs. So basically, when using this framework, we end up with applications that run on modern hardware and operating systems all the same, but with deliberate video effects and audio that bring us back to that era, including large pixels, CRT distortion, text and graphics video modes, and synthesized (Sound Blaster 16) or MIDI (Sound Blaster AWE32) music. It was written in C, mostly as a single file with some other statically linked dependencies. The project also comprises a few fun examples, such as a proof-of-concept FPS inspired by Wolfenstein 3D, a point-and-click adventure, a voxel renderer, and even a music tracker.

> Anyone else love the look of DOS GUIs?
I do. Brings back memories of Turbo-C.
> It would be cool if there were a CSS framework where you could make webpages like that.
A quick search brought this old project: https://github.com/6112/cursesjs
Never tried that, however. Ncurses is what is used under Linux and other UNIX like systems to draw terminal based GUIs, and allows some pretty good graphics.

What are some alternatives?
cool-retro-term - A good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display...
schismtracker - An oldschool sample-based music composition tool.
impulsetracker - Fork/clone of https://bitbucket.org/jthlim/impulsetracker // Full source code for Impulse Tracker, including sound drivers, network drivers, and some supporting documentation // IMPORTANT: This is neither the official repository (upstream at bitbucket.org appears deleted by now!) nor hosted or owned by Jeffrey Lim!
textual - The lean application framework for Python. Build sophisticated user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.
