This was a project I worked on for Interactive Visualization, a course I took in Spring 2020.

Stellaris is a real-time strategy space game. I created a tool for visualizing the galaxy as a heatmap where each star system is colored based on how desirable it is. Desirability is calculated based on how many of five resources (Minerals, Energy, Physics, Society, and Engineering) are present in the system. The user is able to change which resources are most desirable for them.

I created the project using Python and Tkinter for the visualization. I used an open-source package for deserializing the save files and converting them into json and then into python dictionaries.
