In the same application the classification was updated in real time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Once the time was finished, the team that had scored more points would won. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the webapp we chose open source options. First of all, we wanted to be a webapp not a native app, for simplicity of development, but also why we believe that whenever possible <strong> a web is much better than a closed application . <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the map system we chose <a href=\"https:\/\/leafletjs.com\/\"> leaflet <\/a>, and standard geolocation broser libraries .
