We had a couple of rising High School Sophomores as summer interns at Juice. One afternoon I asked them to make a Juicebox app on a topic of their choice. They chose to look at their gaming performance in Valorant, a team-based first-person shooter PC game. Then they documented the app building experience. Here’s what they had to say…
It is a fierce rivalry: two friends, Owen and Marko, wanted to compare their Valorant statistics with each other to see who is truly the better player.
We needed to get to the facts. To start, we looked up their statistics on Tracker.gg/Valorant. There was a plethora of data on the website, making it a struggle to convert the statistics we saw on the website to data that we could use for comparison.
After a few minutes of converting the statistics to usable data (Ed. Note: They got some professional help here), we created our Juicebox app using our newly found data.
We started out by inserting a few images of Valorant for our app. A picture can be worth a thousand data points.
We wanted to use Juicebox to visualize and compare Owen and Marko’s Valorant statistics. We used the scatterplot feature on our app to insert our data. We created multiple filters so we could select which players data or which game-mode we wanted to look at.
Next we added a leaderboard so we could compare Owen and Marko to see who the better player is. The leaderboard lets you compare by a bunch of different performance measures.
We added a bar chart to show the kills and deaths for every agent. Through this visualization, we were able to see how much more Owen plays Valorant as his kills and deaths were higher for every agent in the game.
Finally, we also added a Table which showed the last set of values for every agent in every game mode incase to finalizing the show of the data.
Using all these Juicebox features we figured out that Owen dominated Marko in just about every single category, proving his superiority. Yet compared to many other Valorant players, Owen and Marko are both pretty average.
Here's the final app if you want to take a look.
Ready to demonstrate how you dominate your gaming friends?
