Pharo visualization experiments with Pokemons

PokemonAnalysis

Pharo visualization experiments with Pokemons (inspired by my kids).

Browser for Pokemon Type Relationships

Done in Pharo 10. Using data from the web put into a .CSV file, this code uses NeoCSV to load it into a PokemonType class in Pharo. Roassal is used to display the data with interactions.

Loads a CSV with NeoCSV

The following method was used to load the CSV file. The file actually uses tabs to separate the columns (I copied it from the HTML table). Since some cells have commas to separate list elements, I used addField: converter: to split out those data into collections. Because some cells have nothing inside, NeoCSV never calls the mutators. It's necessary to have the PokemonType class return an empty collection in its accessors (rather than nil).

readTypesFromCSV: fileDesc

	| stream reader splitAndTrim |
	stream := fileDesc asFileReference readStream.
	reader := NeoCSVReader on: stream.
	splitAndTrim := [ :l | (l splitOn: ',') collect: [ :s | s trim ] ].
	^ reader
		  separator: Character tab;
		  recordClass: self;
		  skipHeader;
		  addField: #typeName:;
		  addField: #strongAgainst: converter: splitAndTrim;
		  addField: #weakAgainst: converter: splitAndTrim;
		  addField: #resistantTo: converter: splitAndTrim;
		  addField: #vulnerableTo: converter: splitAndTrim;
		  upToEnd
