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.

interested in learning lisp, (specifically for games, but also for everything else including tui and gui applications for linux. currently have next to no programming knowledge, can i get forwarded some resources and some tips on what exactly i should do? any videos i should watch?
If you insist on learning through game development -- and admittedly I learn best by just jumping in and doing something -- you should at least try making something simpler than a full 3D game first, like a roguelike: https://github.com/borodust/trivial-gamekit, https://borodust.org/projects/trivial-gamekit/.

Common lisp game development libraries
For something simple, https://github.com/borodust/trivial-gamekit would do.

Cl-bodge: a cross-platform Common Lisp game and application framework
Playing with their 'trivial-gamekit' based on cl-bodge now, very nice I think!

alien-works also looks cool and under active development

[SBCL] Generating a binary of a GUI built with Sketch
If all else fails, I recommend trying to contact author through creating an issue on github. If that fails too and you are too tired to continue that fight, have a look at trivial-gamekit (beware: shameful self-plug).

Should I learn OpenGL, or try building a graphics engine from scratch ?
Learn Common Lisp and high-level 2D graphics using Sketch or trivial-gamekit. It's lispy, super fun and enjoyable way. Seriously. 2D graphics are easy to grasp and intuitive.

3D desktop Game Engine scriptable in Python
For open source 3d engines that use Python check out Panda3D or Ursina. They're both a blast to use and let you write your codd how you want.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Panda3D: Let's you make games with c++ and python. I don't think there is an "editor" or anything like that with this engine, but it does look like there have been some decent games made with it. Could be good for smaller games. Modified BSD License.

Game Development Post-Unity
I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexiable and super fun to use.

What are some of the most impressive uses of photogrammetry in games that you've seen?
Some of the game engines we have now have photogrammetry technology built-in, meaning that developers can easily integrate it into their games. This allows for even more detailed and realistic environments to be created in 3D games. The most prominent being Unreal, Unity, and Lumberyard -- including new and beginner-friendly ones like Panda3D and Yahaha. All of these game engines have photogrammetry at their core to help developers create realistic 3D models and textures quickly and efficiently.

Here are some tips on mentoring junior developers in a collaborative team?
Make sure to provide your junior developers or any new members with the resources and tools they need to succeed. This could include coding books (The Self-Taught Programmer was my favorite before), online tutorials, or access to development tools and software. There are game engines available that can be a training ground for new devs, some of the game engines I’ve tried are Panda3D, GameMaker and Godot. I’ve also tried newer engines like Yahaha, but this one is pretty easy compared to other engines so there’s really not much of a challenge. The point is, no matter what resources and tools you provide, make sure they are tailored to the skill level of your junior developers.

The Icculus Microgrant is giving out 250 dollar grants to open source projects, please brag about your project(s) in this thread so I can see them!
It's not my project, but https://www.panda3d.org/ is to my knowledge the next best step after Unity and Unreal game engines. Unlike those, panda is open source and available for C++ and Python.
