I have made a Django/jQuery/JS Tug O' War app in which users button mash their specific key in attempts to pull the HTML <img> tag all the way to their side of the screen. When a user wins, The Game/Player model fields are updated and the game starts over. Some of those fields are total amount of key presses it took to win the game, who won/lost, and how many wins/losses each player has.

The project I am working on asks that I create a new Django endpoint for leaderboards that display some simple game statistics.

What is a Django endpoint?

Is it just a fancy word for making a normal leader board? Or am I suppose to do something special? They suggest that I use Mustache while making it (can't find much of an explaination about what that is either).

I cannot seem to find relevant information on Stack Overflow or the interwebs. At this point I have been searching for an answer for about 2 hours.

Here is a link to the project instructions..

It seems they expect to create an API to send data to javascript, then using a templating engine like mustache, you create a leader page.

The master keyword here is : ajax.

Display the leaderboards on the bottom of your game page. Use AJAX to load each leaderboard on game start. It should update when the game is finished, and the last game played should be present if applicable.

When someone need you to do a work using ajax, that means you need to server data only from the server and handle remains in UI.
