With Google’s Cloud Functions you can make simple microservices that can perform a task on Google’s infrastructure. This allows some functionality of an app to be moved to the cloud. This can be useful in a number of cases; for instance the Dashboard from a previous post. When running scripts Read more…
With the Agent Based Model (ABM) from the previous post we can simulate any number of Gwent players, with known skill and play rate, playing throughout a season. Using this model we’ll try to get a firmer grasp on the ladder system and test whether this rewards skill or grinding Read more…
When three or more groups of samples are compared (e.g. Using ANOVA/Tukey HSD or Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn), you often see results shown as a boxplot, with lines highlighting which groups are significantly different. In Python there is no single package to do this quickly, though by combining scikit-posthocs with statannotations similar plots Read more…
Data for on players in Pro Ladder is released on playgwent.com, but it is limited. You get the rank, the score, the country of origin and the number of matches played. Using some fairly basic data analysis tricks there must be more we can do with these data! Using python Read more…

Gwent support in DeckLock has been on my ToDo list for some time as it currently is my favorite game. The artwork is stunning, it is well balanced and rewards skill. Though it being a digital-only card game makes it somewhat different from KeyForge and Magic: the Gathering. As the Read more…
I decided to put left-over parts from my mechanical keyboard and a Raspberry Pi Pico to good use and build a MacroPad. This is a small keypad, where each switch can be programmed with a certain button or combination of buttons to quickly execute often needed shortcuts. Streamers often have Read more…
