rockandstone

Gimme an R! Gimme an S! Gimme a Rock and Stone.

rockandstone is a package for playing voicelines from the video game Deep Rock Galactic in R.

Installation

Install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("mccarthy-m-g/rockandstone")

Usage

library(rockandstone)

By default the voiceline pool includes all “Safe For Work” voicelines.

rockandstone()

“Not Safe For Work Voicelines” (with profanity) are opt-in.

rockandstone(nsfw = TRUE)

The voiceline pool can also be reduced to certain categories and/or sentiments to suit your use case.

rockandstone(category = "salute")
rockandstone(sentiment = "negative")

Voicelines can be played on error by setting the error argument in options(). This can be specified in startup files such as .Rprofile to make it persist across sessions.

options(error = function() rockandstone(sentiment = "negative"))

rockandstone currently uses the beepr package to play sounds in R.
