About this game

Test your skills and have fun with Rlinguo, a playful game where you guess which package a function belongs to! While it may not make you a better developer, it’s certainly an entertaining challenge. Can you tell that mean() belongs to {base} and median() belongs to {stats}? (We know—it’s a little annoying that they’re in different packages!)

Rlinguo is more than just a game; it’s a proof of concept demonstrating the power of R in mobile development. Here’s what makes Rlinguo special:

- R on Mobile: Yes, you can run R on your phone! Rlinguo uses R behind the scenes to power the game, from sampling functions to running built-in functions like runif() on the About page.

- Data Science on the Go: Rlinguo brings a genuine data-science experience to your mobile device. The app stores data in a local SQL database, performs queries with R, and sends the results back to JavaScript for visual feedback—just like any data science project.

- R Packages Integrated: Each time you guess correctly, you’ll get a praise::praise() (we couldn’t resist). All powered by R packages within the app!

- Smooth User Experience: We’ve focused on making Rlinguo enjoyable to use. Get ready for a smooth, playful experience with a dash of data science.

- Offline Mode: Whether you’re out in the middle of nowhere or just need a quick break, you can enjoy Rlinguo offline. It works perfectly without a data connection, making it great for people in remote locations.

It’s just the beginning of a new era—because who knew learning R could be this fun?
