🌎 Atlas Earth

Atlas Earth is a location-based idle game - you buy small parcels of virtual land tied to real-world spots, and each one quietly earns you rent every single second, whether you're watching or not. Plots come in four rarities - Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary - and the rarer the plot, the better the payout: Legendaries spawn about 10 times less often than Commons, but earn roughly 4 times the rent per second. It's a fun, low-effort hobby, and a good excuse to dig into the data behind it.

The Data

The Atlas Earth dataset started life in a SQL Server database. To make it usable outside of SQL Server - and to feed live reports on this site - I've published it as JSON and CSV files hosted directly from this repo. Power BI can pull either format straight from a URL with its Get Data → Web connector, and anyone can download the CSVs directly for their own tinkering.

🔌 How I Connect Power BI to the Web

In Power BI Desktop, Get Data → Web, paste the URL for any JSON or CSV file below, and Power BI handles the rest - typing columns, refreshing on demand, and keeping the report tied to the live source. When the underlying data changes, one click on Refresh pulls the latest.

📸 Screenshots of the Power BI web-connection flow coming soon - the walkthrough plus the finished report visuals.

Original SQL Scripts

Two versions of the database, for anyone curious how it evolved: the Refactored Schema is the clean, final version - just the normalized CREATE TABLE statements with proper foreign keys, ready to build fresh. The Refactor Draft is the original working file - the first-pass tables plus every INSERT statement of my actual plot and passport purchase history, kept as a record of where the data came from and how the redesign got worked out.
