# ahwootech/BRUTAL

> An open source C# framework for building games or your own game engine: it provides direct access to native APIs and Vulkan via a custom interop layer, plus maths, memory, concurrency and bindings to GLFW, ImGui, FMOD, Jolt and other libraries.

- Magnitude: 7.0 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 273 total · +153 stars measured 2026-10-15, 06:00–07:27 UTC, ≈ 361 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build your own game engine in C# on top of ready low-level libraries
- Add Vulkan rendering and a GLFW window to a new C# project
- Use the Jolt or Box2D bindings for physics in your game

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-15 (UTC), 06:00–07:27: 120 → 273 stars (+153). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +361 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 273 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #53.
- About 204 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## 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: 20
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 294 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 105

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
