To ensure people do not cheat, some games might want to supply a checker program. This would take client-supplied information about the played level and verify it.

What we need for this:

Allow setting an optional checker executable/url per game
For games where the checker is enabled, allow uploading a blob describing the played level
Pass the uploaded level data to the executable and interpret the output

This might either be done by sending the blob as payload to a url or by passing it as stdin to an executable.
If the result is okay, either:
- Store the score, otherwise fail the request
- Approve the already stored score. This could also be done asynchronously while the client is already disconnected
