Subject of this Figure Friday are some daily numbers from the top100 games on Stream. Data consists of price (or free), multiplayer or not, current number of users at the moment (unknown which moment, which timezone) and a link to an image of the game. I used this assignment to try some things out instead of going for the key insights.
Example contains:
- An alternative to a word cloud based on the most-used tags in games, with multi-click functionality.
- Colors are assigned randomly, while font size is determined by the frequency of a tag’s occurrence in a game—the more frequent, the larger the font.
- A regex filtering string is dynamically generated based on the selected tags to create an AND filtering.
- A Dash Bootstrap Components (DBC) card grid, where the card body layout is styled using CSS Grid. I omitted the title because most of the time the title is on the thumbnail.
- This is a work-in-progress prototype that currently looks a bit like a Christmas tree.
Figure Friday is an initiative from the Dash/Plotly community. Every friday a new dataset is made available with some basic code to show a visual and an explanation of the subject. People are invited to adjust the code and improve the visual or create a small app. The next friday a zoom session takes place where some explain why they made what they made and others can give feedback, all in a constructive and respectful atmosphere. In the thread on the community site people share their visual, code and a demo if possible.
