Godmode package for R
Provides alternative praise and encouragement, either in god-mode or proverbs mode. Aims to provide more variety and fun in testing.
Also offers a set of unexported functions that can be useful for quick & dirty substitution of functions in namespaces of other packages, which for some people / teams / R-analytics-setups can help in accelerating proto-typing, testing of changes and debugging and ultimately time-to-production. It is advised to get a good understanding of the base functions used in this part and their behavior, before attempting to make use of this elsewhere, in order to avoid undesired side effects and break-downs.
For related reasons, this package will quite certainly never make it to
Is meant to be used in conjunction with newer versions of testthat, which have been published to CRAN on 2017-12-13 (version 2.0.0) and later.
Install with remotes:

The proverbs dataset is a data.frame with a proverb and a score column. The score ranges from -100 to +100: positive means success/victory context, negative means perseverance/failure context, and zero means the proverb fits either. The absolute value of the score is used as a sampling weight, with a minimum weight floor so that low- or zero-score proverbs are still sampled with a small probability.

If you like to play sounds, make sure to install the audio package from CRAN.
Then, in order to get something more fun than just a simple beep, you are free to replace the stub wave files in the external data sub-directory inst/extdata with some of your own music files, to which you own the license rights.
(The files should be named Die.wav and GameOver.wav, as to me the Nintendo sounds were the most befitting.)
