This is a visualization project that works with data from Catan. This is a github repo that has all of the information. Enjoy!
If you’ve ever played Catan or any board game, you’ve probably lost. After the fact, you probably wondered why you lost. What did my family and friends do differently to beat me? Was it luck? Do they know something I don’t? Did they all secretly conspire against me? It’s probably all of the above.
This visualization helps ease that pain, by letting you analyze what players did to win.
This viz is called a parallel coordinate plot. It's a data visualization technique used to plot multivariate numerical data, where each variable is represented as a horizontal axis, and data points are lines connecting values across these axes.
There is also a bar chart that will populate as you filter across the axes. This bart chart shows you how many players of each rank are being shown at that time.
Each line is a player, and the color of the line coorosponds to the place they finished in the game. See the legend below.
Click and drag across and axis to filter out anything not in a specific range of your choosing.
You use this filtering on any axis, and as many axes as you want.
To clear a filter, click on any part of the axis that does not include your range.
Be careful not to make your range the entire axis, or else you will not be able to clear your range.
Each time this page gets reloaded, a random 125 games are chosen to be represented. This means that there are 500 players on the vis at a time. (This is so your browser doesn't crash)
Please do not refresh the page unless you want a new batch of games/players.
Enjoy!
This was built using D3.js
All the code is here
Dataset was removed from github for some reason :(
