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.

C++: How OpenGL works: software rendering in 500 lines of code

From scratch OpenGL and shaders with raw Xlib
I don’t think that exists (I sure would like for it to), but until it does you could amuse yourself with:
- A 500-line (non-OpenGL-compatible) 3D rasterizer: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki.
- A “hello Wayland” app written in C without libwayland or anything else: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/wayland_from_scratch.html.
- A “hello X11” app written in x86-64 assembly(!) without libX11, libxcb, or anything else: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/x11_x64.html.

Tiny Compiler – Writing a Compiler in a Weekend
the tinyrenderer[1] project has been on my todos forever now. glad to see the author is writing more self-paced programming projects.

Is there space in this field for extreme cases like mine ?
- Game development - Unity3D project based learning in C#: https://learn.unity.com/ - Graphics - There was another user on r/GraphicsProgramming the other day (who teaches Computer Graphics at his university) that linked their lecture series for the entry year of their course here: https://tamats.com/learn/realtime-graphics/ - Project based learning: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki - Rendering API tutorials: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/, https://learnopengl.com/

How do I become a graphics programmer? – A guide from AMD Game Engineering team
There are a couple of excellent resources out there for implementing 3D rendering from scratch.
On that I cannot recommend enough is this github repo:

If you are more of a visual learner, this guy is also a treasure trove:

Ask HN: What books or courses do you know similar to "From Nand to Tetris"?
Other people have mentioned ray-tracing in one weekend
If anyone is really interested in graphics I would also recommend TinyRenderer
https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki
This one is a CPU-based rasterizing renderer
Its good if you want to get a good understanding of what a GPU does underneath

Trying to learn wgpu
I was in a similar position to you, and I first did this https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki
- Where do I start learning graphics programming?
-
Recommendation for graphics experimentation project
Yes, my thoughts exactly, shader!=program on GPU. It's just a code which calculates pixel color or pixel position. See for example this: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/blob/master/main.cpp. It's not GLSL or anything uploadable to GPU yet it's still a shader.

I have a few months to prepare for an interview. Is there a project that would get me at least part of the way there for the interview?
In terms of a project which would be worthwhile, I think building a software rasterizer from scratch is a useful first step. TinyRenderer is a great place to start. Looking at the high level overview of many graphics subjects, ScratchAPixel is a valuable resource. Theres also just great information in some of the rote graphics programming textbooks (Michael Abrash's Black Book fully available online from Jason Gregory, and this book is really interesting). The "RayTracer in a weekend" series is also (seemingly) very illuminating (no pun intended).

Ask HN: Is Lisp Simple?
>Would be interesting to see how the interpreter works actually...
It's quite easy to see, there are interpeters for Lisp in like 20 lines or so.
Here's a good one:

(It has the full code in a link towards the bottom)
There's also this:

Build Your Own Lisp
Here is one implementation of a lisp (mal specifically) in matlab: https://github.com/kanaka/mal/blob/dcf8f4d7b9cf7b858850a04a0...
Only 260 lines of code, pretty concise :)

Found inside my compiler I've been writing for about 2 years
have a look at the crafting interpreters book, plus make a lisp (lisp is a great first language to make a compiler/interpreter for, just google "lisp compiler/interpreter" and you'll find lots of resources)

Crafting Interpreters or Writing an Interpreter in Go? Given context
If you're really okay with the limitations of a tree-walk interpreter, you might want to check out MAL, which will teach you how to write a tree-walk interpreter for a LISP. The code for MAL has been translated to most popular languages, so you can work through the creation of an interpreter in the language of your choice. JLox would give you a bit more detail and a more complex language, but I'm not convinced that it's all that important.
-
What do I do now?
Write a small programming language (lisp (https://github.com/kanaka/mal) or brainfuck) in C++ to learn the syntax more. This will teach you a lot about programming languages in general.
- Ask HN: What projects did you build to get better as a programmer?

Can you beat my dad at Scrabble?
So I started some hobbyist game dev using Unity and realised that the full process of making a game has dependencies on a mass of lower-level skills including lighting virtual environments. As a hobbyist photographer I could see some useful analogies from lighting studios and other scenes
So I pivoted, and eventually made money, not from selling a game, but from developing tutorials about digital lighting. I was also able to contribute to a project at work that was making a product based on commercial games engine, not by actually coding it, but by helping to better estimate the costs of the asset generation required.
Coding Unity object scripts in C# also got me back into programming, and I went on to successfully build a self-hosting lisp interpreter following the Make a Lisp guidelines [0].
