## Useful for

- Build the project from your own game dump to test on your GPU
- Check how far the game gets past the tutorial and report crashes
- Study the approach to ARM64 static recompilation and Ampere-to-SPIR-V shader translation

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–02:09: 468 → 480 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +130 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.8× that of the previous 6 days.
- The repository is 8 days old and already has 480 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 36
- Issues and pull requests: 130
- Watchers: 20
- Average over the last week: 74 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 5
- Latest release: v0.2.0 (2026-11-09)

## Stars per day, last 9 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-11-01 … 2026-11-09: 11, 79, 43, 55, 49, 38, 75, 131, 12

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
