The problem

For every player and every date on which they logged in, report the running total of games they had played up to and including that date. The Activity table has player_id (int), device_id (int), event_date (date) and games_played (int), with (player_id, event_date) as its primary key. Return player_id, event_date and games_played_so_far.

Example

Input
Activity(player_id, device_id, event_date, games_played) = (1, 2, '2023-03-01', 5), (1, 2, '2023-05-02', 6), (1, 3, '2023-06-25', 1), (3, 1, '2023-03-02', 0), (3, 4, '2023-07-03', 5)
Output
(1, '2023-03-01', 5), (1, '2023-05-02', 11), (1, '2023-06-25', 12), (3, '2023-03-02', 0), (3, '2023-07-03', 5)
Explanation
Each row carries the sum of games_played for that player on every date up to and including its own.

Python solution

Python
import pandas as pd

def game_play_analysis(activity: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
    df = activity.sort_values(['player_id', 'event_date'])
    df['games_played_so_far'] = df.groupby('player_id')['games_played'].cumsum()
    return df[['player_id', 'event_date', 'games_played_so_far']]
