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.

A 2D Pixel Physics Simulator with Cellular Automata written in Rust
I've made a similar game: https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox, and it looks like we've had a lot of the same ideas :)

Open source projects that need help at beginner/intermediate level
If you're interested in game development, you may enjoy playing around with Sandbox. It's a game I created where you place sand, water, acid, fire, etc and watch them interact.

WebGPU computations performance in comparison to WebGL
> WebGPU is years away to become usable
As a counterpoint, I've been using WebGPU (through wgpu-rs) for the past 1.5 years. It's been a pleasure to use. For instance, here's the CPU-side code for a glow post-process shader using 4 render passes https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox/blob/master/src/glow_post_p....

The Similarities between an ECS and a rendergraph
I've considered implementing Sandbox using wgpu compute sharers (all the rendering is already done with wgpu). The reason I didn't is because I couldn't figure out how to make particles update in parallel - how to handle conflicts between two particles wanting to move into the same position, updating a particle that's supposed to be destroyed, etc. I'd love to get this working however. My last attempt was a the "multithread" branch where I tried to use rayon as a means of prototyping the game using parallel update logic.

Any interest in a Games From Scratch club?
Unrelated to a club, but you might enjoy looking at a game I built with Rust + WebGPU https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox.

Is there anyone looking for GSOC student for a Rust project ? (or just a contributor for a project ?)
Not a GSOC project, but my game Sandbox is open to contributions! https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox

Im moving a big array around too much
Overflowing the stack: Use a Vec, or Box<[T; N]> (boxed array). A boxed array is a heap allocated array, where the box part just points to some data on the heap, so it's cheap to move around. Both are pretty much equivalent, boxed array is maybe slightly more faster/correct. Note that if you use a boxed array, due to some missing compiler optimizations, you'll probably just get a stack overflow anyways, as the compiler will first store the array on the stack, and then copy it to the heap. This can be solved with some unsafe code, such as in https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox/blob/master/src/heap_array.rs.

A New Era for Mixed Reality
The "Metaverse" is a complete joke, and among gamers, Valve has a way better reputation than Meta. Why would they want to dilute that brand?
They already have their own platform (Steam), OS (SteamOS), VR headset (Index), their own Windows translation layer (Proton, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton), their own partnership with cloud gaming (Steam Cloud Play using GeForce Now , https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/cloudgaming), etc.
IMO: As someone with thousands of games on Steam, there's no way in hell I'd want that linked to Facebook. I think they eventually removed the requirement to have a FB account to use a Quest, but they still require a Meta account. Yuck.
This reeks of Facebook recognizing the Metaverse as the failure that it was and opening it up because it's no longer relevant...

NTFS messes up
Did you mount it with the correct flags?

How do I use multiple hard drives on Kubuntu for steam?
there is a hack to try and use your existing windows game install from an NTFS drive, but i don't recommend it as steam will try to save file names that are not allowed on NTFS...plus ext4 is faster.

Game crashes within 10 seconds of launching unless I reinstall from scratch
From a quick search, here's what I found. It looks like you're encountering some common issues that can occur with games running on Linux through Proton, especially with the recent updates to games like Satisfactory that might affect compatibility. The log entries you're seeing related to D3DCompile2 failing to compile shader and the issues with Ternary operator and LinearToSrgbBranching not being defined, suggest that there's a problem with shader compilation. This can often be related to the version of Proton or the graphics drivers you are using. Some users have reported that the game does launch with the -vulkan option but with graphical glitches and lower performance, which indicates that the Vulkan renderer is working but possibly not optimally on your setup. From the discussions in the community, users have suggested ensuring that the latest drivers for your graphics card are installed and, if using an Intel GPU, that the Mesa drivers are up to date since Intel XeSS references were found in the logs. If you're using NVIDIA graphics, make sure you have the latest drivers and possibly set the PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% to enable DLSS if you're under Vulkan. If you're using an Optimus laptop with both Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, make sure your Optimus setup is correctly configured. Some users have found success by specifying DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAMES=GeForce to force the game to use the NVIDIA GPU. It's also worth noting that if you're encountering issues with DirectX 11, you might want to try forcing the game to use DirectX 10 if possible or look into DXVK configurations that could resolve compatibility issues. Lastly, if none of these solutions work, you could try running a trace with apitrace to gather more detailed logs that might point to the specific issue. If you're still stuck, it would be a good idea to report the issue to the Proton GitHub page or seek further assistance in the game's community forums where others might have encountered and solved similar issues. For more information and to find others who might have resolved similar issues, check out the community discussions on GitHub, Steam Community, and the DXVK GitHub page.
