ICRC Games stats standard

Thanks a lot for taking the time to collab on this @iBardak

I want to clarify, this is not a token standard, these are just types and methods to be added on the main game canister if the game supports the standard.

The idea is to have an standard as simple as possible here (These are Game Stats). In Stats record you can see stats that every game normally have (I think):

type Stats = record {
    active_players : Nat;
    unique_players : Nat;
    peak_concurrent_players : Nat;
    hours_played : Nat;
    cycles_burned : Nat;
    session_time_average : Nat;
    extras : vec {Property};
};

and for Players is the same, I think these stats applies for every game:

type GamerStats = record {
    hours_played : Nat;
    session_time_average : Nat;
    extras : vec {Property};
};

I would love if you can give us your thoughts on this stats, if you consider that they are important enough to be on the basic standard and what other do you think that applies for all games.

Of course there are a lot of stats that varies between projects and this isn’t by any means a restriction to use whatever stats a game wants to manage.

If we agree and use this standard, all the games on the IC can interoperate -with stats- easily based on that, and it will be super easy for additional tools (Internal and external to the IC) to map games and stats on the IC Game Ecosystem and give additional benefits to everyone.

After this basic standard we can work in by genre specific stats standard to complement this one (this will not be a restriction for games to use others than the ones on the standard though).

I’m going to write this answer on ICRC-14 Github issue also and will tag you. Please answer there.
