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.

O3DE
It's odd to me that when the whole Unity fiasco happened, everyone was basically looking at either Godot or Unreal, but pretty much nobody mentioned or cared for something like O3DE.
If you praise Godot for being open source a lot, then it stands to reason that you should similarly prefer O3DE as opposed to Unreal: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/blob/development/LICENSE.txt (no idea why they're going for both Apache 2 and MIT license, though) vs https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/license
Unless people just care about the options that are popular enough to warrant their attention and the features that they provide, whereas the licensing is actually a boon, rather than the main factor, given that Unreal also did some slight price increases a while later as well: https://www.unreal-university.blog/post/unreal-engine-5-pric...
Either way, it's still nice to have lots of options available regardless of the licensing details (though this kind of does fragment developers among bunches of different projects), be it Godot, O3DE, Stride, Unreal or even something like jMonkeyEngine (one of the rare Java engines/editors with 3D) or NeoAxis (that one had a cool voxel LOD solution, but performance on AMD hardware was bad).

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games. There seems to be a lot of tutorials on the site, but they aren't laid out great.

Two handy GDB breakpoint tricks
Visual Studio has a related annoying habit when navigating the call stack (the caller's scope is considered closed if the callee is syntactically its tail) so I wonder whether this workaround would be useful for it as well.
See also this comment in the Unreal Engine code about putting a nop in before as well: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/26677ca1b3c97...
// Q: Why is there a __nop() before __debugbreak()?

Sane C++ Libraries
> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library
Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?
Certainly, not everyone needs it.
...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.
Was that no the point from the beginning?
unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.
This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

Unreal Engine 5.3
It is not publicly available. If you click on this link you get a 404 page: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine You actually have to go and subscribe, agree to their terms, and then you get to view the source code. It happens to be free, but it is by no means "public".

W.I.P on my Open-World time traveling game. Experimented with Lumen + Nanite and found a way to maximize performance!
What you need to do is follow this link and diff my file with Epic's file. You can grab settings that I have from mine and plop them into a custom one for yours. Just be mindful if you're developing in VR for what settings you bring over.

As a Unity user, watching Unreal Engine at GDC 2023 made me sad and jealous
Originally it was going to be NetworkPrediction (need to be signed into a github account with Unreal Engine access for that link to work), but since David Ratti left Epic that died and they stopped working on it. (I didn't know it was dead, that was the CMC replacement I was referring to)
