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.

Shader Park Is Kinda Neat
This very well explained here https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen and with more details in link d pdf.
Basically, signed distance fields allow high resolution renders from low resolution rasters which represent character shape.

SDF font rendering & cuttoff parameter value
No idea how to help you but I will just drop this since it improved the quality for me by 1000 https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen

Best approach to render a lot of text.
And that's the complicated state of the art version for 3D perspective. Other versions are even simpler.

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
This is known as a “multi-channel signed distance field”, or “msdf”.

Font question: What software do you use to create "Signed Distance Field" from OTF or TTF?
I use this, free and has been very good for me https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen
- MelonJS – a fresh and lightweight JavaScript game engine
- What is the maximum number of texture2D's I can have in a single texture array uniform binding?
-
Why are SDF editors not more popular for creating assets?
Distance fields are not slow to render. They don't need a powerful gpu. Valve was already using SDF for textures in 2007 and released a paper about it. MSDF (multi channel signed distance fields) is a popular text libraries for game engine devs that uses distance fields. Distance fields are fast to render in 2D and even 3D. The problem is with everything around it. Lighting, shadows, shading will all require specialized tooling and likely a specialized engine for very little benefit (imo).

Vector Graphics on GPU
Signed distance fields only work well for relatively simple characters.
If you have highly detailed characters like Chinese or emojis, you need larger resolution to faithfully represent every detail. One way to get around excessive memory requirements is to store the characters in their default vector forms and only render the required characters on demand, but then you might as well render them at the required pixel resolution and do away with the additional complexity of SDF rendering.
SDFs are still useful though if you have to render text at many different resolutions, for example on signs in computer games, as seen in the original paper https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2007/SIGGRAPH2007...
In the past, SDFs also had problems with sharp corners, which has been solved in https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup
Personally, I started by writing externals for Pure Data, then started to contribute to the care. Later I took the same path for SuperCollider.
The more typical path, I guess, would be to start with simple audio plugins. Have a look at JUCE (https://juce.com/)!
Realtime audio programming has some rather strict requirements that you don't have in most other software. Check out this classic article: http://www.rossbencina.com/code/real-time-audio-programming-...

Anyone know anyone that creates plugins?
Check out https://juce.com in the meantime

Modern C++ Programming Course
You can definitely start putting C++ into your embedded projects, and get familiar with things in an environment in which you're already operating. A lot of great C++ code can be found with motivated use of, for example, the platformio tooling, such that you can see for yourself some existing C++ In Embedded scenarios.
In general, also, I have found that it is wise to learn C++ socially - i.e. participate in Open Source projects, as you learn/study/contribute/assist other C++ developers, on a semi-regular basis.
I've learned a lot about what I would call "decent C++ code" (i.e. shipping to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of customers) from such projects. I would suggest finding an open source C++ project, aligned with your interests, and study the codebase - as well as the repo history (i.e. gource) - to get a productive, relatively effortless (if the interests align) boost into the subject.
(My particular favourite project is the JUCE Audio library: https://juce.com/ .. one of many hundreds of great projects out there from which one can also glean modern C++ practices..)

What programming languages do you recommend starting with regarding audio visual programming/audio software development?
Respect for the others here who recommend C but I think they’re possibly masochists. If anything JUCE, which uses C++ is in my opinion far more approachable.
-
How have you used coding in your setup?
Here's a link to their website: https://juce.com/
- xcode or visual studio?
-
Anyone here have experience writing VST audio plugins in C++, or 'wrapping'/converting a VST to an AU plug-in?
It seems like most audio plug-ins are built in C++ inside an audio coding program called JUCE, so maybe if I could open up the exisiting code inside that and then output it as an AU instead of a VST that could work.
