## Useful for

- Study the world rendering via glMultiDrawElements in WorldRenderer.cs
- Examine procedural mesh generation with Marching Cubes in Block.cs
- Look at custom allocators and stack-allocated lists in NativeArray.cs

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 19:38–21:54: 55 → 79 stars (+24). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +26 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
- Hacker News: “Hedra is a 3D open world game I wrote from scratch while in highschool” — 75 points, 3 h ago.

## 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: 4
- Issues and pull requests: 871
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 4 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 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.
