Beat a dead morse In the last post I mentioned {sonify} for making R do little audible beeps and boops. It reminded me of one (of many) unwritten micro-projects I’ve got kicking around in my brain: obviously you could use {sonify} to communicate Morse Code. https://www.rostrum.blog/2023/01/04/rogue-sfx/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2023/01/04/rogue-sfx/ new wr — r.oguelike any% tenkeyless noglitch tl;dr The {r.oguelike} package—a toy roguelike microadventure for the R console—now has little sound effects thanks to {sonify}. Pew pew! The adventure continues? Apparently this is part 5 of the {r.oguelike} devlog. You can read earlier posts about: its inception creating simple procedural dungeons making an enemy chase the player 3D dungeons and continuous keypress inputs Alas, this is also probably the last installment. https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/10/03/squirrel/ Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/10/03/squirrel/ tl;dr I created the {ActionSquirrel} package. It contains an {R6}-powered playable game for the R console, which includes images (well, emoji) and sounds (thanks to the {sonify} package). GameRs I’ve written before about the idea of games that you can play in R. For example, I replicated a text-based version of Pokemon Blue’s Safari Zone. This was made possible by using the {R6} package by Winston Chang, which provides an implementation of object-oriented programming (OOP) in R. https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/02/21/skyphone/ Sun, 21 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/02/21/skyphone/ My skyline clearly has a Central Business District with development in the suburbs. Note The GitHub Skyline API–on which the {skyphone} package depends–stopped responding (i.e. it 404s) soon after this post was published. I may fix {skyphone} in future to work via {gh} instead; feel free to contribute. tl;dr I made the R package {skyphone} to get GitHub contributions data from GitHub Skyline and sonify it. Reach for the skyline Skyline is an online curio from GitHub that lets you input a user’s name and get a 3D rendering of that user’s contributions to the platform. https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/02/02/sonify-covid/ Tue, 02 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/02/02/sonify-covid/ Landing page of coronavirus.data.gov.uk tl;dr I used the {sonify} package in R to represent a year of the UK’s COVID-19 data in audio format. You can jump straight to the audio. Listen to your data I watched an excellent talk at the rstudio::global(2021) conference by JooYoung Seo titled ‘Accessible Data Science Beyond Visual Models: Non-Visual Interactions with R and RStudio Packages’. You can access the video or his blog on the subject.
