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.

macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
Minecraft runs on various Javas.
And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997
It's not fixed.

Technical Considerations for GUI Toolkits [Discussion]
Types of tools for creating a gui (and how those tools approximately work): 1. Utilize the native _graphical interface API_, and depending on the platform, they have specific layers to interface: * Wayland, X11, for Linux * [GDI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/gdi/windows-gdi) for windows * [Quartz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz\_(graphics\_layer)) for macOS Example - GTK uses [wayland](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/docs/reference/gdk/wayland.md) ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/win32)) [X11](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/docs/reference/gdk/x11.md) ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/x11)) GDI ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/win32)) Quartz ([source code](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/tree/main/gdk/macos)) [How to use wayland display server](https://bugaevc.gitbooks.io/writing-wayland-clients/content/black-square/the-wayland-client-library.html) (TODO missing "animation" section) 2. Utilize opengl _or other low level graphics api's_ with window context, use GPU to render widgets * Window context manager - [glfw](https://github.com/glfw/glfw), [sdl](https://www.libsdl.org/) * contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events Example: ImGui, NanoVG, Nuklear, raylib Why? Mainly used for game development, but also good for gui's. _(i haven't seen any examples that uses this method that are used for developing general-use graphical user interfaces.)_

New Vulkan Documentation Website
Not SDL2, but GLFW has something like that under the tests/ directory:

LWJGL = SFML vs Allegro vs SDL vs Ogre vs ???
I'm not familiar with LWJGL, my 5 seconds on their website makes me think you might be looking for something like GLFW https://www.glfw.org/ to handle I/O and window creation/management.

I have spent two whole work days trying to install GLEW
Consider GLFW3 for windowing and GLAD for function loading. I've used this combination myself successfully. Granted, that is "two things" you need, but OTOH it'll work well.
-
OpenGL (GLFW and GLAD) not linking with cmake
There is a pattern to it which is usable with every GitHub repository. For example, GLFW v3.3.8 can be fetched from: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/archive/refs/tags/3.3.8.tar.gz
What exactly would I fetch with this method? He's fetching a raylib url, but I don't really see a pattern in it I can follow when fetching glfw. I assume I can use this repository? https://github.com/glfw/glfw

Curseforge Minecraft running on M2?
I'm not sure how to fix it, sorry. I searched for some of the messages and found this bug: . I think overriding the LWJGL library might fix the issue, but I don't see any way to do that with the CurseForge launcher.
- GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!

What happened to the GTA Vice City native linux port?
It used to reside at https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3/tree/miami
- Exclusive: A fully functioning Zelda 64 PC port is ‘90% complete’ (VGC)

Zelda 64 has been fully decompiled
Also re3 and reVC (in the same repo), though it is down for now, pending the outcome of a court filing... https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3

Systematic method to reverse engineer and rewrite DOS games
I tried to check for GTA out of curiosity, but their code was taken down by DCMA it seems: https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3
- Remember that GTA projects that got banned off GitHub? Guess what? Rockstar just announced GTA Trilogy.
- GTA 3 and Vice City fully reverse engineered

Take-Two is suing the creators of GTA 3 and Vice City reverse engineering projects | VGC
Funnily enough, they do supply some.
It's not; quotes from the readme on their github repo:
-
Take Two has launched a lawsuit against all 14 of the developers of the GTA 3 and GTA Vice City reverse engineering project, after the developers submitted a counter claim against Take Two's DMCA (git link in comments for archival)
Sadly as /u/madjoki pointed out, they're likely fucked because there are infringing files.
