Scores file

NSnake uses a scores file in order to share all users scores on the same machine. In order to work, your user must have read/write permissions to the directory which is created at install time, it defaults to UID:GID (see above).

The directory for saving the scores is writable by this group to make sure your user can write it from any user.
