I’ve done a little R6-to-S7 translation on an old project to get a very cursory feel for it, featuring Animal Crossing New Horizons. Update The S7 system and package are under development and could change at any time, rendering everything in this post useless.1 Heck, last time I checked, the system was called ‘R7’. There’s also a chance that S7 elements may have been integrated into base R itself by the time you read this. https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/01/07/acnh-swipe-results/ Fri, 07 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/01/07/acnh-swipe-results/ tl;dr I once wrote an R Shiny app to run a popularity contest for Animal Crossing villagers.

Swiping {shinyswipe} code A while back I wrote a Shiny app (site, source, blogpost) for TidyTuesday to replicate a Tinder-like experience using villagers from Nintendo’s Animal Crossing New Horizons game.

What do those words mean? Animal Crossing Animal Crossing is a wholesome Nintendo videogame franchise in which you arrive on an island and befriend anthropomorphic animal villagers.
