Sending info to email, or web?

Hi.

Is it possible to send info like the high scores by cliking a button, to my email or a website? Or somehow store all the scores in a database or something. So i can check it later?

Im using the stand alone exe, so i need to be able to receive information directly from the game, on the players computer.

Is it possible?

Yes this is possible.

You can use Moosock to communicate with a PHP script on your server. Moosock is a bit tricky to work with but I have used in in EXEs and Vitalized files to do what you want.

Great!

What kind of PHP script do i need?

Is there a toturial on this?

There is - it's a bit of a complex thing to explain from scratch, but Flava has written a couple of articles to get you started.

(I genuinely don't mean to plug this, but as an example, the game I'm working on at the moment has this feature.)
