The Random Playables GameLab is still a work in progress. It is designed to create #math based #citizescience games.

Use RPTS to create a full game for the main platform.

Use the other language to create simpler sketches that you can save to your public user profile.

"Apophenia" is our brain's tendency to perceive meaningful patterns in random, unrelated things.

This "pattern-finding" habit is a huge challenge when we're trying to make sense of data!

Can you tell a real pattern from random noise?

In Apophenia you have to spot the chart with a real data pattern hidden in a lineup of random noise.

How many points can I get in Gotham Loops if I finish each loop before starting the next? Turned out to be my highest score yet.

The package fully supports complex numbers. A 16-point complex exponential replicates 4x across geometric decay, completing one unit circle rotation per cycle. The final complex dot product encodes both amplitude AND phase—the very essence of a Fourier coefficient!

Pulse Train Sampling:
A 4-point pulse (25% duty cycle) replicated 8x across exponential decay creates a sample-and-hold effect. The pulse acts as a periodic sampler, creating a "sample-and-hold" effect where only 1 in every 4 points contributes to the sum.

Signal Windowing: Apply an 8-point triangular window that replicates 4x across a 32-point exponentially growing signal. Each cycle smoothly weights the underlying signal, creating a repeating envelope effect.

8 sine cycles across 64 Fibonacci numbers. #Fibonacci #DataViz

The alternating harmonic series: ln(2) emerges from just a 2-point pattern replicated 50x across a harmonic series.

The Basel Problem, where Sum(1/n²) = π²/6.

Orthogonality. An 8-point sine wave is replicated 4x across a 32-point cosine wave. The running dot product (in green) shows how they cancel out. #math #rstats

At its heart, cyclic.coefs in #rstats makes it easy to explore what happens when you build a series by tiling a short periodic sequence (f) across a longer base sequences (g).

I need patience for this. That games that gave me mathematical insights that I actually use are are all #rstats shiny games (dealing with mixed effects models and informative hypothesis testing). rpcompute will help put those R heavy games onto the platform.

Diagram looking sick & dizzy at the moment. But we'll make it through.

Consider yourself lucky if you ever want to read up on a topic that Diego Assencio (dassencio.org/102) has blogged about!
