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.

Crystal2Day: A simple 2D game framework in Crystal
For the beginning, it will be a simple 2D game library (or glorified SDL wrapper :D), similar to Ruby libraries like https://www.ruby2d.com/ or https://www.libgosu.org/ , albeit with some additional functions typical to 2D games (like scenes, maps, entities, ...) available. This is something I'm still missing in Crystal (there are some bindings for C libraries and some early or abandoned approaches, but that's about it).

My Ruby game library, MiniGL, has surpassed 100,000 total downloads
Sorry, I just realized that I only linked to Gosu's Linux instructions, but in their wiki there's also a page for Windows and another one for Mac OS.

ruby2d vs pygame
I didn't use these frameworks but if you want to go with Ruby, I would recommend Gosu, which is more active than Ruby2D (they have a pretty active Discord server). Since it's a bit low-level, you could also use my gem MiniGL which builds on Gosu to make a lot of things easier, and I also actively maintain.

My solo-developed, Ruby powered, platformer game Super Bombinhas will be available soon on Steam!
By the way, it's worth mentioning that there's a .deb for Debian-based distros that you can get for free on https://victords.itch.io/super-bombinhas. Also, if you're willing to do a bit more work, you should also be able to run it on Mac - you'd just have to install Ruby and the Gosu and MiniGL gems, then clone the game's repo and follow the Readme.

Started working on an isometric RPG project
Hi! I've wanted to create an RPG inspired by the first Paper Mario games for a long time, but having to deal with 3D graphics was always a blocker for me... So I finally managed to create an isometric 3D "engine" using only 2D libraries (Gosu and MiniGL) and I'm happy with the results so far.

What game engine is good for ruby?
I've not used it myself in about 5 years but it looks like they have a pretty good tutorial on getting started on their wiki https://github.com/gosu/gosu/wiki/Ruby-Tutorial

A small sample of the large amount of content from the free and open source 2D platformer Super Bombinhas, written in Ruby. Download on https://victords.itch.io/super-bombinhas
Neither, I use Gosu and my own little library, MiniGL.

The MonoGame Foundation launch
To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

OSS Game Engines are increasing their stars on GitHub due to Unity's missteps
Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.

Unity's Trap
Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame
Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.
Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

Which tools should I use to create my game ?
Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).
