Ludum Dare statistics
July 29th, 2012 2:17 pmI played around with crossfilter a few months back, which is a neat library for filtering data across different metrics. I figured, the Ludum Dare statistics would be fun to visualize that way. So, not gonna go to deep into what this is and how it works, but here;
* Crossfilter, http://square.github.com/crossfilter/
* Ludum Dare 22, http://comicbookguy.kvisle.net/dump/ldcf/
* Ludum Dare 23, http://comicbookguy.kvisle.net/dump/ld23cf/
It’s just something I made for fun, and you can do whatever you want with it for what I care 
Raw data:
* Ludum Dare 22, json encoded: http://comicbookguy.kvisle.net/dump/ldcf/minut.txt
* Ludum Dare 23, json encoded: http://comicbookguy.kvisle.net/dump/ld23cf/minut.txt
Have fun. And, I can’t guarantee that this is bugfree, but it looks OK at a first glance.
Nice job, and thanks for the raw data!
How did you manage to get the detailed ratings for all the games? (Web bot?)
If you’re interested about statistics and visualization you can check-out that thing I made a few weeks ago: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/07/16/ld_data_viz/
I wrote a very ad-hoc perl-script that scanned http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=misc_links and the uid-site and assembled it into a json-structure after.
When I created the correlation (scatter) graphs last year, there was a single page listing the categorised scores for each contestant. I have no idea what the url for that page is now, but here are the graphs I made with it…
