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.

Closures in Umka
My scripting language Umka now supports closures. This is not merely a matter of fashion, but the requirement of the Tophat game engine that heavily relies on callbacks, particularly for inter-module communication via signals.

Umka 1.0 released. It's now the scripting language in the Tophat game framework
Umka is now used for scripting in Tophat, a simple modular 2D game framework by Marek Maškarinec. Tophat 1.0 offers all basic functionality for graphics (including sprites, animations, particles and fonts), sounds and misic, keyboard and mouse controls. It also features collision detection and 2D path planning capabilities.

Umka: what additional features do you expect from an embeddable scripting language?
I have been developing the statically typed scripting language Umka for more than a year. Now it is stable enough to serve as the basis for various projects: a 2D game engine, a VDrift-based framework for exercising with the car autopilot logic, and a proprietary tractor dynamics simulator.
- Github is having a hard time rendering those graphs.

Zig Software Foundation 2024 Financial Report and Fundraiser
Myself and many others are betting on Zig in major ways, I truly think it has a bright future ahead.
In spare time, myself and a few others are working on a game engine in Zig[0], and the Zig core team has been very receptive to addressing issues our project faces and supporting us.
Others are working on pixel art editors[1], open source 2D RPG games[2], there's a group of independent folks working on a 3D massive immersive sim game[3], a group working on making Zig an amazing language for micro-controllers[4], etc.
Please consider donating $5-10 a month to the ZSF! They are a great group of people, and it has so many knock-on effects for others in the FOSS community. :)

Gamedev in zig
I've been working on a gamedev project in zig, using zig-gamedev. It has many libraries you can use, though my game is 2D. Feel free to check out my project if you want to see how I set things up. https://github.com/foxnne/aftersun
