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.

Want to build an interactive tool (similar to some used in Brilliant.org) to teach a concept in math. What's the best way to do this in?
Alternatively, if web stuff is more your thing, there is https://github.com/unconed/mathbox

Manim: An animation engine for explanatory math videos
Does anyone have experience to compare this with MathBox? https://github.com/unconed/mathbox Mathbox is JavaScript, not Python, but presentation graphics are often web based, so I consider these two to be supplying solutions for similar needs.
That looks like a really nice project. Are you familiar with https://github.com/unconed/mathbox?

Let's compile like it's 1992
Would processing[0] be a good fit? It's designed to be easy to use and learn but powerful enough for professional use. Very quick to get cool stuff moving on a screen and the syntax is Java with a streamlined editing environment.

Turbo Pascal Turns 40
Processing (P5) had this: you can select any string of text in its IDE anl search for it in the docs, and if it's one of the built-in functions or constants it will open the associated static html page that came installed with the software, so no internet nor server required. And despite being offline you can still navigate the docs too. This feels a lost basic skill in static site generation these days.
It was the only creative coding framework that had complete, offline documentation like that at the time I might add. OpenFrameworks is still mostly autogenerated stubs for example.
IMO it was one of the things that gave Processing an edge in educational contexts over all alternatives. I was pretty sad to see p5.js not fully continue that tradition and require that you go online to read the docs, and that it's not a static website but that text is rendered with javascript when you open it (still complete and with examples though).

I am looking to learn java for 2d and 3d game development any good tutorials or sources for beginners who don't know anything
If you just want to learn some basics of game development and don't need fabulous performance, you can use the Processing (https://processing.org/) libraries with plain old Java.

Ask HN: How to teach a kid of 15 Linux and programming
> how do I get him learning programming in a fun way?
Processing / P5.js can be pretty fun to learn. You use a real programming language to create art and animations. With little code you can get a circle on the screen, then making it move, then following your mouse, then adding other shapes, then changing colour depending on some event… It’s conductive to experimentation and a way to gradually introduce concepts.
