# Video Games Mod for Powerpipe
View dashboards to analyze video game platforms, developers, industry trends, and more.
## Overview
Dashboards can help answer questions like:
- How many video games are currently cataloged in the database?
- What is the total number of game developers?
- How many publishers are involved in the video games listed?
- Which are the top 10 video games rated by user score, and what scores did they achieve?
- What are the top 10 game genres by the number of games, and how many games are there in each genre?
## Documentation
- **[Dashboards →](https://hub.powerpipe.io/mods/turbot/videogames/dashboards)**
## Getting Started
### Installation
Download and install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads) and MySQL (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/). Or use Brew:
```sh
brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe
brew install turbot/tap/mysql
```
Install the mod:
```sh
mkdir dashboards
cd dashboards
powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/powerpipe-mod-videogames
```
### Configure Database
Download the [Video Games Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/beridzeg45/video-games/versions/2) and extract it in the dashboards directory:
```sh
unzip ~/Downloads/archive.zip
```
Start MySQL server:
```sh
mysqld
```
Connect to MySQL:
```sh
mysql -u root --local-infile=1
```
Create a database:
```sh
create database video_game;
use video_game;
```
Create a table:
```sh
create table game_data (
title varchar(255),
release_date date,
developer varchar(255),
publisher varchar(255),
genres varchar(255),
genres_splitted varchar(255),
product_rating varchar(255),
user_score float,
user_ratings_count int,
platforms_info text
);
```
Load the dataset into the table:
```sh
load data local infile 'all_video_games.csv'
into table game_data
fields terminated by ','
enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\n'
ignore 1 rows
(@title, @release_date, @developer, @publisher, @genres, @genres_splitted, @product_rating, @user_score, @user_ratings_count, @platforms_info)
set
title = @title,
release_date = str_to_date(@release_date, '%m/%d/%Y'),
developer = @developer,
publisher = @publisher,
genres = @genres,
genres_splitted = @genres_splitted,
product_rating = @product_rating,
user_score = nullif(@user_score, ''),
user_ratings_count = nullif(@user_ratings_count, ''),
platforms_info = @platforms_info;
```
