<p>Six months ago we’ve introduced <a target="_blank" href="http://smarterpoland.pl/index.php/2015/12/hack-the-proton-a-data-crunching-game-from-the-beta-and-bit-series/">‘The Proton’ – a console based R game with six data wrangling puzzles</a>. Around 15-30 minutes of fun with data. The game is on CRAN in the package <code>BetaBit</code>.</p>
<p>And just few days ago we’ve added a second game – <code>frequon()</code>. Eight puzzles related with <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_analysis">frequency analysis</a> of encoded messages.</p>
<p>It’s much harder than <code>proton</code>.<br>
Expect around two hours of playing with ciphers.<br>
Try it yourself. To get the R version just type</p>
<p><code>install.packages(&quot;BetaBit&quot;)<br>
library(&quot;BetaBit&quot;)<br>
frequon()<br>
</code></p>
<p>You can also try the experimental python version.</p>
<p><code>pip install --upgrade https://github.com/BetaAndBit/BetaBitPython/archive/master.tar.gz</code></p>
<p>If you like these games and going to attend <a target="_blank" href="http://user2016.org/">useR2016</a> (June, Stanford, USA) or <a target="_blank" href="http://erum.ue.poznan.pl/">eRum2016</a> (October, Poznań, Poland) feel free to ping me (Przemyslaw.Biecek).</p>
