What I want is more centered towards following up on how many of the people who download the game even start it, or how many of the ones who start it even play more than 10 minutes. Do you get my point?
I have gathered that you could send a HTTP POST from inside the game to for example mixpanel.com servers but you need to encode it with base64 first and this is what I am having problems with. The thing as a whole is quite complex to get working. Good thing is that mixpanel is free for small amount of traffic.
Didn't test the code but it looks like it should work. Didn't try the http.request either but Visionaire got a full Lua implementation so theoreticly this should work.
local http = require("socket.http" )
Even that produces a error : Module "Socket.http" not found.
