Data Visibility is a huge part of the enjoyment of games. I hope that all the developers who publish with Slitherine have a look at D3, which is becoming widely popular in displaying information.

I think a large part of games is representing the information and allowing the player to decide what choices to make. D3 is Free Software and becoming widely used for displaying data - Data Vizualization. I hope that you might enjoy looking at some of the stuff below:

Whilst pondering how these displays might be of use in a game, have a look at a few of the notebooks, some of which permit interaction. For example:

zoomable tiles,
brush.filter
delaunay.find
d3.interpolate.discrete
brushable scatterplot matrix
d3.path

D3.js

Hi, Kuokkanen!

In simpler terms, just visit the link and look at what pretty ways we can show information these days. It is well beyond pie-charts and line-graphs.
