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.

Simulating Fluids, Fire, and Smoke in Real-Time
I think the curl noise paper is from 2007: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/bridson-siggraph2007-cu...
I've used the basic idea from that paper to make a surprisingly decent program to create gas-giant planet textures: https://github.com/smcameron/gaseous-giganticus

Friday Post: What is something you made or solved in C that you are proud off?
Gaseous-giganticus - procedurally generates gas giant planet textures for space games, etc.

How can I generate realistic planetary cloud cover?
This is what gaseous-giganticus uses. Combined with some other techniques, it can help with making some clouds for earthlike planets, but not in real time. Mentioned here previously. The process I use for making earthlike planets with clouds for Space Nerds in Space is described here.

Procedural Gas Giant
Here's my own gas giant thingy, which produces (what I imagine to be) decent results, but is quite slow.

How do i use/compile gaseous giganticus?
Hi. I'm the author of gaseous-giganticus. You do not need to apply the patch, as it was incorporated into the source already a long time ago: https://github.com/smcameron/gaseous-giganticus/commit/b3ca95f2f3975d6ca97029dae166e2daf068b3f0

Aside from hobby and practice, what are some genuinely useful personal apps?
I needed some gas giant textures for planets in my space game so I made this thing, which also ended up getting used by other people for their Kerbal Space Program mods.

Is that gaseous-giganticus output that I spy?

Best (preferably free) procedural planet texture generators
I've made a couple. For gas giants, gaseous-giganticus. For earthlike, or rocky planets, there's a program called "earthlike.c" in the space-nerds-in-space repo. Other than allowing you to supply an input image to use more or less as a color palette, they don't allow much in terms of customization, though there are quite a few knobs you can turn.

What is your best project using C?
Most innovative thing, or what I'm most astonished I actually successfully pulled off against all odds, is probably gaseous-giganticus, which is a program that uses curl noise for procedural fluid flow(pdf) on the surface of a sphere to create cubemap textures for procedurally generated gas giant planets.

They barely changed anything lol https://github.com/iloveclang/bellcurve/commit/588bb2d2cf6c75544d0bd92654940bb73e81c36a
- It's only fair if I show you the project you have been helping me with the last 5 days

I improved it
You laughed at me last time when I used reddit comments as my repo, so I made a github for you so you can look at the code if it interests you: https://github.com/iloveclang/bellcurve
