Alright, so I wanted to get my hands dirty with some data crunching related to Wuthering Waves, specifically focusing on materials. I figured, why not document the whole shebang? Here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed a place to dump all this information. I didn’t want anything fancy, just a straightforward way to organize stuff. I opted for a simple, local setup, no need for online databases for this small project, also I created some folders on my computer by clicking ‘New Folder’ three times for ‘scripts,’ ‘data,’ and ‘output’.
The Dirty Work – Data Collection
This was the most time-consuming part. I manually collected a bunch of materials details. It was a bit of a grind, manually inputting the information of the materials I got into a spreadsheet.
Tidying Up – Data Cleaning
Of course, my raw data was a mess. I had some typos, some missing pieces of information, and so on.
So, the next step was to make my raw data neat, I checked the data I wrote and corrected the typos by double-clicking the cell one by one.
Putting It All Together
I made some simple categories and wrote different simple txt files named after the categories to store all the different materials. I created the new txt files by right-clicking then choosing ‘new’ and ‘Text Document’.
I typed a very simple summary after done putting all the categories and materials, it’s really a simple project.
And that’s pretty much it! It wasn’t rocket science, but it’s a solid start. I’ve got a neat little dataset, and I’m ready to do some more, I mean practice more, with it later.
