Stellaris Save Game Visualizer

This project was created for the Interactive Visualization course in Spring 2020. Stellaris is a real-time strategy space game. I built a tool to visualize the galaxy as a heatmap, where each star system is colored based on its desirability. Desirability is calculated from five resources: Minerals, Energy, Physics, Society, and Engineering. Users can adjust which resources are most important to them. The project was implemented in Python using Tkinter for visualization. Save files were deserialized using an open-source package (pypdx-clausewitz), converted into JSON, and then processed into Python dictionaries.
