scoreboard

Objectives

You must follow the same principles as the first subject.

For this project you must take into account:

• The usage of scoreboards
• Creation of a go API service to save the data from the game in JSON formate
  • The API should accept POST and GET request from the client side, this being the scoreboard data

Instructions

Just like the first subject you must respect performance.

In order to tell apart every score it should be requested a name when the player ends the game.

After every game, either you win or lose, a scoreboard should be shown with the five highest scores of every game made.

The scoreboard must display the position, name, score, time in minutes and paginate the results with the rest of the scores. You also should give to the client the percentage and the position in the scoreboard.

For example:

Congrats O.J, you are in the top 6%, in the 2nd position.

Rank| Name | Score  | time
---------------------------
1st | Kave | 233254 | 12:01
2nd | A.J. | 222555 | 03:00
3rd | O.J. | 14356  | 05:40
4th | -.-  | 13663  | 02:34
5th | iris | 2354   | 00:40

The scoreboard should be ordered by descending order, so the player with the most points should appear on first place.

You will have to create a go API service, where you can load the data (POST), and request it (GET). This service will store the information of each play (name, score and time) in a JSON formate and returns all the information when requested. The JSON can be organized as you wish.

Here is an example:

[
  {
    "name": "O.j.",
    "Rank": 3,
    "Score": 14356,
    "time": "05:40"
  },
  {
    "name": "Kave",
    "Rank": 1,
    "Score": 233254,
    "time": "12:01"
  },
  ....
]
