Inspiration

Making things efficient was our main inspiration for this project.

What it does

Uses an algorithm that determines the best route for postal trucks to deliver parcels.

How we built it

While the back-end was entirely made in Java, our front-end was constructed with Html, CSS, JavaScript and python. Coming up with the logic of the code was first met with the algorithm of the fastest time to deliver the parcels with minimizing the costs that were induced through the optimized path. Furthermore, the back-end of the code was then converted into the front-end visual that was in the final code.

Challenges we ran into

Front End did not end up well, we forgot to add variables to the color properties in CSS

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finding out how the algorithm works and actually putting it in use was our greatest achievement during this project. Also, bug fixing was very satisfying in the end.

What we learned

In the backend we learned a lot about abstraction and how to represent a real world problem into code. We also learned about algorithms coming up with our own and we also combing it with other algorithms.
