Cloud variables?
I personally recommend the sock.lua library. In my experience it's the simplest way to add these features.

Issues with various networking libraries
- Finally using sock.lua every time i connect 3 clients togheter the server crashes. There is an issue about this on github, but has no answers :( https://github.com/camchenry/sock.lua/issues/16

Has anyone got a simple enet example?
I'd like to suggest to use sock.lua which wraps around enet. Makes network programming a little bit easier. Some examples are included in the Github project.

Example code for embedded server
I've found a library sock.lua that seems sufficient for my needs. There's an example project included that implements both server and client in the same app. I am not sure yet if this library could encounter performance issues, but it seems targeted to high performance network communications in games, so I'm hoping it will be fine.

A question about save/load.
If you don't want to reinvent the wheels, you might want a json encoder to transform data into strings and back. Or bitser if you want better performance and smaller files in exchange for human-readability.

Example code for embedded server
If anyone encounters this post and finds out the example project has some serialisation issues, I believe you'd need to add a little bit of code as well as include the bitser library:
