<div dir="ltr"><div style>For reference, the file is used to store the high scores for the Breakout minigame on Hopkins computer, so it isn't exactly a critical file. I don't have the code installation handy, and the Github web interface is a bit too clunky for me to check, but ideally, if it isn't already, the highscore file should only be created when someone actually plays the game. If that's the case, then the number of people who'll already have the file is minimal.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Of course, when you get right down to it, I don't really see that much need to share the mini-game scores across multiple saves.It could likely just as easily be refactored to be saved as part of the standard savegame (I presume), and be done with the separate file altogether. That would be my preference. Unless there's anybody fervently in favour of maintaining the scores as a separate file, I'll have a look at weekend. </div>

I just noticed the Hopkins engine creates a file HISCORE.DAT.<br>
Since it is not at all clear which engine or game that file belongs to,<br>
I think we should rename this to hopkins-hiscore.dat or (target)-hiscore.dat,<br>
depending on how compatible the file is between different game versions.<br>
<br>
But since this is post-"release", there are probably already users out there<br>
with a hiscore.dat. How should we handle these? Rename, delete, ignore?<br>
<br>
Paul, Arnaud, what do you think?<br>
