DS 2870 Homework 2 - Basics of GGplot - Key

Data Description

The csv file bgg.csv contains 999 board games from the website boardgamegeek.com. There are 10 variables. The relevant variables are:

1. name: The name of the board game
2. year: The year the game was first released
3. rating: The average user rating from boardgamegeek.com
4. playtime: The manufacturers stated time it takes to complete the game
5. age_rec: Recommended minimum age for the board game
6. kickstarted: If the game available on the website Kickstarter
7. category: The type of game play (Abstract/Family/Part/Strategy/Theme/War)

In the code chunk below, load the tidyverse package and read in the csv file and save it as bgg

Quesiton 1

Create the plot in Brightspace that has:

• rating on the x-axis
• kickstarter on the y-axis
• the lines with color “#440864” and box colored with “#F46E52”
• match the labels on the x and y axis
• add the title
• change the tick marks on the x-axis

Question 2: Rating by playtime

For question 2, you’ll be examining the association between user average rating (rating) and play time (playtime) with a scatter plot

Part 2A: Blank Graph

Start by creating the blank graph seen in Brightspace. The orange color for the title uses the same hex code as the orange in question 1. Make sure the labels, title, caption, and theme match. Save the blank graph as gg_bgg and have it appear in your solutions.

Part 2B - Creating the scatter plot

Using gg_bgg, the appropriate geoms, and other functions, create the graph seen in Brightspace. Save it as gg_rating_scatter and have it appear in the solutions.

Part 2C: Rating by playtime and category

Using gg_rating_scatter, create the graph seen in Brightspace. Briefly describe 3 different insights you can reach from the graph!
