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.

ClojureScript Browser Multiplayer Engine
I think the easiest way to do frontend games is with websockets. It's annoying to have to poll and makes a lot more sense for the backend to push data to the frontend. Sente https://github.com/ptaoussanis/sente is like socket.io in that it provides a nice wrapper for an event-driven architecture on top of websockets that is really well suited for games. It's what I used in coding up a multiplayer Go game.

Anybody working on games here?
https://github.com/oakes/play-cljc or https://github.com/oakes/play-clj - first is native or web and uses OpenGL, but is rather basic (but you'll have more control) - second wraps lwjgl, which in turn wraps OpenGL, but is a more mature framework giving you more support

ClojureScript Browser Multiplayer Engine
I tried phaser recently. It is quite complete framework, so there is no need to reach for some specific purpose libraries. I went through https://phaser.io/tutorials/making-your-first-phaser-3-game but with shadow-cljs and it worked. The framework handles well low level stuff so the final source code is small. I have expanded the game from tutorial with sounds, custom graphics and it reached something like 150 lines of clojurescript code. However I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is just learning clojure. https://github.com/oakes/play-clj was really nice (and it was simple to build android app from it) but it's no longer maintained and I never used it's successor (https://github.com/oakes/play-cljc) which might be better option today.
