## Useful for

- Install the mod to boost FPS in Geometry Dash on low-end hardware
- Study the rewritten rendering code as an example of graphics optimization

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 10:54–12:37: 83 → 83 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #7, +16 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

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.
