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.

I just want force-feedback
Man-in-the-middling the netcode. From what I can tell, this would work ... but the packets are encrypted. It appears the netcode is largely based on this library, that they sponsor. There appear to be some differences from the "standard" but there are too many similarities to not have a common ancestor. I got pretty far on this, just to at least verify there was encryption. Even if it is not encrypted, it appears to be a custom protocol.

What's an actually useful netcode package!
I use netcode.io - if you have read gafferongames posts, this is made by the guy.

Why is client FPS limited by netcode?
You may not be there yet with your developer skills but if you are curious you can have a look at the netcode source code. I'm not sure if they're still using it since the switch to Lumberyard and Amazon Services but it's a really good and strong codebase: https://github.com/networkprotocol/netcode

Should I write my game server in C so that I can use the latest version of the netcode protocol?
I found that there is a relatively new protocol called netcode.io that provides UDP-like connection between client-server.

P2P vs Client Server
If you want to learn more about networking for game in C++, Glenn Fiedler has great articles from the basics to advanced topics: https://www.gafferongames.com/ He also created a library for client-server networking: https://github.com/networkprotocol/netcode (He has a big name in networking, totally recommend reading his articles if you want to learn more about networking)

What is the fastest way to encode the arbitrary struct into bytes?
so appreciate such a detailed reply, thanks. btw, why did you choose tinylib/msgp from 4 available go-impls?

Using Arduino as input to Rust project (help needed)
If you find you're running the serial connection at maximum speed and it's still not fast enough, try switching to a more compact binary encoding that has both Serde and Arduino implementations, like MsgPack... though I don't remember enough about its format off the top of my head to tell you the easiest way to put an unambiguous header on each packet/message to make the protocol self-synchronizing.

Java Serialization with Protocol Buffers
The information can be stored in a database or as files, serialized in a standard format and with a schema agreed with your Data Engineering team. Depending on your information and requirements, it can be as simple as CSV, XML or JSON, or Big Data formats such as Parquet, Avro, ORC, Arrow, or message serialization formats like Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, MessagePack, Thrift, or Cap'n Proto.

MessagePack Similar to JSONs, just more compact, although not as much as the ones above. Still, it's usefull to retain some readability in your messages.

Sketch crashes with "Soft WDT reset" randomly (ArduinoJSON and HTTPClient)
I'll try that msgpack.org website.
- Unknown encryption method ?
-
GitHub - realtimetech-solution/opack: Fast object or data serialize and deserialize library
First of all, you're comparing this to GSON and Kryo, how does it compare to Msgpack, fast-serialization, but also Elsa and I'm sure, many others? Are there any limitations and/or trade-offs?
-
Optimal dispatcher for json messages ?
Upvote for msgpack, one of the great undervalued message protocols available.

Rust is just as fast as C/C++
I have two suggestions Capnproto, MessagePack (those are only the two examples that came to mind first, i bet there are even one or two especially developed for rust). Both of these are better than json in nearly every way.
