Steam Review Graph

This project is a web-based tool that visualizes Steam game reviews over time. By entering a Steam AppID, the tool fetches review data and game details from the Steam API, then displays the information as an interactive graph using Chart.js.

🚀 Features

• Fetch Steam Review Data: Enter any Steam AppID to get historical review data.
• Interactive Graph: Displays positive and negative reviews with a "Level Line" to show trends.
• Dynamic Visualization: Toggle visibility of positive, negative reviews, and the level line.
• Real-time Data: Always fetches the latest review data when the page is reloaded.
• Clear 0-Line: Displays a white dashed line at 0 for better visibility.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• PHP: Handles API requests to Steam and processes the data.
• Chart.js: Used for rendering the interactive graph.
• HTML & CSS: For structuring and styling the web page.
