So, I'm toying with an optional feature in a game for a few friends. Is there any way to make a game that can give data to another program? I've searched here and on the wiki, but various keywords I can think of aren't bringing up much yet. Can a Twine game, either as a self contained program or as a program uploaded to a website somewhere, "give" information to another program? The ideal form of this would be something that could send a quick email or text to the players at certain points in the game's progress, but as I'm trying to avoid complications like servers and the like I think I could simplify the concept into a "high score board" that posts results based on decisions players have made.
So... yeah. Is there anything like this, or is it a pipe dream?
