Hotshot Racing Random Driver & Car App!

Inside this fun project is a Shiny application to randomly select one of 32 cars available in the supremely awesome retro-inspired racing game Hotshot Racing! This is separate from the game itself, but I created the app to have some fun with my friends in the new Wimpy's World HotShot racing league :racing_car: . Head to Martin Wimpress' YouTube channel to see the past and future gaming streams, all powered by Linux!

• Grand Prix 1: The Tour
• Grand Prix 2: Pro Circuit

Installation

You can install the development version of the app as an R package wtih the following command in your R session

remotes::install_github("rpodcast/hotshots.random)

Under the Hood

I was able to create this fun application in large part to these excellent packages used throughout the app, in addition to the Shiny package:

• {slickR}: Wrapper around the [slick] JavaScript library producing a fully interactive image carousel. Authored by Yoni Sidi, who also appeared on episode 11 of the Shiny Developer Series
• {reactable}: Interactive data tables for R based on the React Table library for interactive tables. Authored by Greg Lin, software engineer at RStudio
• `{bslib}: Create custom Bootstrap themes directly from R. Authored by RStudio software engineers Carson Sievert, Barrett Schloerke (previous guest on episodes 12, 13, and 14 of the Shiny Developer Series), and RStudio CTO Joe Cheng (guest on episode 18 of the R-Podcast).
