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.

Ask HN: Best stack to make a 2D game in 2023
I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/) although Heaps (https://heaps.io/) seems to be more popular nowadays.
Haxe is very nice as a language, can easily cross-compile to a lot of targets, Haxeflixel is heavily inspired by some Actionscript framework and has a lot of goodies. Maybe Heaps is more mature, up to date and allows for more advanced features.

What is the worst engine you've ever used and why?
Not really the worst, but you can say my least favorite, and that would be heaps.io
-
why are gamedevs so against sharing code?
Yeah I think it's ideal for 2D development. Look into heaps.io . . you might like it! These days it seems the best source of community for haxe is in their official discord server.

Picking a language
Many frameworks will let you export for the web, even if you don't code your game in JS. Unity, Godot, Bevy(?), heaps.io ... the list goes on and on.

I tried the Flash AS3 at school and it was nice
It takes a little while to get comfortable with heaps.io, largely because tutorials in the Haxe world are pretty limited. Here's a good place to start:
-
Everybody always says to 'build your own projects' or 'solve your own problems', what are some things you've done or personally solved for yourself that can inspire others to get their own ideas from?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most people use Unity or Godot for jams these days. But as long as your framework exports for the web, you should be fine. Personally, I use haxe and heaps.io, but it's a bit of an outlier and probably requires learning a new language on top of learning a framework.

Which engine/program do you use?
Urho3D, an open source C++ game engine.

C++ Game Engine?
I believe Urho3d supports MacOS (see 'about' page on the legacy website).

I'd like to learn game engine development - where to even start?
If you're literally clueless your best bet is to first start learning with an existing clean-ish engine like Urho3D implementing whatever feature/screwing-around or start with a framework like nVidia's Donut that gets you your window and basic rendering in place.

Game Engine Renderer Architecture regarding UI
I would recommend tracking through the gist of Urho3D's batch/batchqueue stuff as it's a reasonable setup that is very intelligible (if you speak C++), it's not the greatest thing on the planet but you should be able to roughly grok it in an afternoon. Doing draw batch-pumps greatly streamlines the final drawing code.

Game engine for programmars
You could try Urho3D or its newer fork rbfx.

Preferred game engine
I use an engine called rbfx which is a fork of the Urho3D engine. A lot of it is just the fact that I've been using it for over a decade, so I am comfortable with it. I'm a programmer, not really comfortable with integrated editor engines such as Unity or Godot, and the easy C++ extensibility of the engine appeals to me. Plus it's decently powerful, and well supported on a lot of platforms (I build for Windows, WebGL, and very occasionally RPi for the most part) and is open source to satisfy that stubbornly libertarian side of my character.

What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux?
You might be interested in Urho3D.
-
I need a REALLY lightweight engine
If you don't mind something experimental, there is a C# version of Urho3D that is in fairly active development. There is also a C#-scriptable branch of the Urho3D fork, rbfx, located here. Both of these projects are still pretty in-the-works, but are still pretty usable.
