The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Learning DirectX 12 in 2023
Alongside MiniEngine, you’ll want to look into the DirectX Toolkit. This is a set of utilities by Microsoft that simplify graphics and game development. It contains libraries like DirectXMesh for parsing and optimizing meshes for DX12, or DirectXMath which handles 3D math operations like the OpenGL library glm. It also has utilities for gamepad input or sprite fonts. You can see a list of the headers here to get an idea of the features. You’ll definitely want to include this in your project if you don’t want to think about a lot of these solved problems (and don’t have to worry about cross-platform support).

Viking Math! A Vulkan-Focused 3D Math Library In Pure Go
You may recall vkngwrapper, which I posted several months ago, a Vulkan wrapper for go. Well, here is the second step in my plan to take over the world: a vulkan-friendly 3d math library for go. It's the only right-handed 3d math library I'm aware of in Go, and it is faster than the alternatives, by a lot in some cases. It's mostly a straight go port of key elements of GLM (https://github.com/g-truc/glm) and there's a lot more I could probably put in, but I'll keep it how it is for a bit while I work on other stuff.

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
even though it's fairly old and buggy, I haven't found anything as easy to use or complete as glm

I've decided to learn Godot and it feels like I have "lost"
math library because you should never implement a math library yourself, and you probably want somethign more focused on performance than STL. GLM may work if you just need basic vector support. Eigen may help for a more physics heavy game. But I'd probably find something in-between those two

Eigen: A C++ template library for linear algebra
glm is also good for 3d math. It mimics the API of OpenGL shaders, so it's a good option if you already know (or are interested in learning) how to write shaders.

Is there a reference of C/C++ implementations of basic vector/matrix routines used by common MATLAB functions?
If you want 3D maths only (so up to 4x4) GLM https://github.com/g-truc/glm is perfect.
