Star Wars: Galaxies was a fantastic MMORPG that was unfortunately shut down 2011. Various emulators exist to recapture the magic, and one of the most compelling and complex systems in the game was Bio-Engineering.
This is a repository of data and analysis used as an attempt to reverse-engineer how Bio-Engineering worked.
The data is scraped from furrycat's
archive and reproduced here. The scripts
for scraping can be found under the scripts/ folder, but they should
not be needed, as the sources are committed to this repo.
The data scraping currently makes several CSV files.
The analysis of the data sets are on-going. The Rmd files are found
here and the current state is published at the GitHub
Pages.
Most of the current analysis starts with GAMs and then attempts to narrow down the exact mechanics from relative influence that the additive model suggests.
