Half-Life
Under the hood
The 8 projects behind Half-Life: what each is, its license, how much of its code matches the original, its last commit and the systems it ships for. Then how they connect, and who made them.

Code matched is decomp.dev's latest measure, linked to its page. Stars and the last commit are the repository's.
How they connect
Forks, and what each project is built on or needs. Projects in grey are not Half-Life's.
