For a leaderboard system, I used a service called PlayFab. This service is free up to a 100,000 unique users. This means we can provide a cool leaderboard system globally adding a competitive side to our game.
I had a few problems implementing this system because the leaderboard system starts with the biggest score at number one place and only stores integers. To counter this I turned my number whole by multiplying it by 100 and also converted it into a negative. This is because the biggest number converted into a negative number turns into the smallest number.
