• Running Man Guests Bar Chart Race

  I wrote a program (in Java language) that reads the guests' table on Wikipedia. This program does the math to generate a CSV file with the accumulated appearances per guest and day.

But Flourish can't export video, so I used a program called ShareX to screen capture the chart. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
