(Sorry for the late submission, I just noticed the contest. If it can't be considered for a prize due to lateness, please include it as an honorable mention if it is deemed creative enough.) My first ever shiny app --
An app for accessing in game stats from Halo 5 and creating customizable & downloadable visualizations in ggplot. Search for a player’s name, and this app will connect to Microsoft’s Halo 5 API, import their game data, and create beautiful charts for downloading.

You may use the api already included in this app or sign up for one at 343 industries' Halo 5 api at https://developer.haloapi.com
