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.

Decoding GIF with C?
If it helps you, here is some actual code, which I find too complicated.

img visualiser in C
You need a library for loading different image formats into your program. stb_image is a popular one. You're gonna need to know pointers to use it.

Meaning of these constants in DWM's source code
with that, back in my text/font experimenting days I was able to read in the utf-8 stresstest: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt and combine with https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_truetype.h and a font file like DroidSans.ttf to produce a .png like https://ibb.co/59JCmnF (sorry if thats a crap image host, its the first one google suggested)

I want to make a program that draws a graphical function to a png and I don't know how.
https://github.com/nothings/stb. specifically stb_image_write.h. This is a "library" (it's 1 file) which allows you to take an array of pixels and encode it as a PNG, if this is what you're looking for.

What's the GLB file format?
Replace libpng and png++ with an embedded copy of stb_image.h. Honestly, libpng is neither great nor well-maintained. (Case in point: The main website still doesn't support HTTPS despite hosting security-sensitive information and hosting critical source code. All the download links are still shitty SourceForge redirects.)

After 3 months I've graduated from Python and am moving on to learning C. Can I get some recommendations for open source C code that is very well written and composed as reading material?
Take a look at this. It's basically a well known dev who rewrote a lot of the std libs in a reasonable way. A good place to start. https://github.com/nothings/stb
- Is it me or is C++ on an Arduino abstracted to the point where it's basically a scripting language?
- How to impement an array whose size is variable during run-time (depending on how much data the user requests)?

Are there any good c examples?
You can try using stb libraries in C (https://github.com/nothings/stb) for a dynamic array (equivalent to std::vector) and a hash map implementation (akin to std::unordered_map, although it's not ordered like std::map) in stb_ds.h. I'm suggesting this because many tutorials already use stb for utilities for image loading so chances are you already have it at your fingertips and it's nice to use.

2D image packing
This is an ad hoc implementation for packing png pictures for printing. What this does is it take a png size like 300x300 and outputs an 300 DPI A4 with that input picture. You can specify how many copies it should make. Example pprint input1.png 5 input2.png -o o.png creates 5 copies of input1.png, 1 copies of input2.png and outputs o.png as 300 DPI A4. Rotation is not implemented. This makes use of https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_rect_pack.h for packing rectangles.
