Hi HN,

I'd like to present you one of the project I developed recently.

After the Google Hash Code 2018 Competition, I thought I could create a "result viewer", I'm not really sure how to name it, to train my skills in Go development and because it seemed funny to do it this way.

The scores are the same as the Judge System from Google and the simulation is displayed using a graphic interface which can be disabled.

Everything, including the graphic interface has been developed in Go.

Just wanted to share it here to get some feedback !

The animation is visually interesting, but I don't understand what it represents. I know it is related to a programming competition, but what problem is it trying to solve?

Some context on the competition:

We are given a list of pre-booked rides in a city and a fleet of self-driving vehicles. The objective of the competition is to assign the rides to vehicles, so that riders get to their destinations on time.

I updated the README.md with some illustrations to help you understand this project.
