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.

The joy of building a ray tracer, for fun, in Rust
Oh, I did something like this a while back as well! Aside from ray tracing, my renderer also supports ray marching, so it can render some cool fractals[1]. Writing path tracers is so much fun, love the write-up!

Yes, the book has both implementations of the required functions (for all the complicated ones you need) and tests all written in pseudocode.
The book is really good. I have a half-finished implementation in F#, and what I find striking is just how close the F# code is to the pseudocode. I have also started an idiomatic port to Racket but have only done the tuples, vector, and point implementations so far. I need to pick these up again.

I have also worked through pieces of Ray Tracing in One Weekend (what was referenced in this post). They get you going much faster, but the code is written in C++. I found the translation to a functional style was harder (was just using Racket and F#'s mutability features), whereas the way The Ray Tracer Challenge is laid out and specified, I found it much easier to translate to an idiomatic functional style.
