Q3: Map Playback

Apr 19, 05:21 PM

Today, while Jeff and Craig were busy doing more technology wrangling, I whipped together another cool visualization, based off of two key metrics:

  • the location of a bot when they fire a weapon
  • the location of a bot and their target when there’s a successful kill


Basically, we visualize 5-second windows of time during a deathmatch involving 7 bots on the map q3dm3. Within each window, we plot where a bot was when it fired a weapon. The point is color-coded by bot. If a bot successfully fragged another bot, we draw a line from the killer to the target, putting a big circle on the target. The circle is color-coded to the target bot’s color, and the line we draw is the color of the killer. We let you step back and forth in time to see the match from a bird’s eye view.

This visualization is actually interactive and live: you can play with it in your browser. Use the right arrow on your keyboard to go forward in time 5 seconds, and the left arrow to go back in time 5 seconds.

Click here to play with the visualization (warning: it’s a Java applet and may take a while to load).
