Are there any plugins for integrating an analytics solution in a choice script game hosted on dashingdon?

Not sure if this is even possible on a techical level since this would mean that the choice script game has to send some backend requests.

This certainly is helpful, but I was thinking of something more along the lines of integrating an already functioning analytics solution (such as Google Analytics for example) where you can make calls when the reader reaches a certain page or makes a certain choice. Then, you could see the events in a web dashboare.

From what I underatand, one such solution would require modifying the choice script code and hosting the game instances on a server which supports the altered choice script code, right?

That’s beyond my skills and knowledge. Though there are people here that for sure knows how to do what you say. I’m sorry, but I’m not one of them. My programming skills are almost 0, I just have some idea but never truly learned.
