I Wanna be the Data Analysis
Hello Delicious Fruit community, today we'd like to showcase a project created by one of our users, Steingar. Titled "I Wanna be the Data Analysis", this document details a plethora of information pertaining to Delicious Fruit statistics, especially showcasing how often certain facets appear throughout the site on different games. You can find a variety of different analyses on different areas, such as how often tags are applied to games, or how difficulty and quality ratings seem to correlate on the site. Steingar says they hope people enjoy it, and that it kicks off constructive debate and discussion within the community.
