The simplest way to start:

1. Save your high scores in an array.
2. At suitable points, save it out to a text file.
3. To display, write text to the screen, perhaps with a nice background image. Using CENTER TEXT would be simplest.

Once you've done this, you'll get some bigger, better ideas as you work on it.

That's funny I was going to do just that after I looked at the messages. BatVink is right. Define an array (and make fake score info). Then write a function that saves to a file. Then make one that loads that file and put the scores into the array. All you need then is a function that checks the score vs the scores in the array and call the save score function. The main help file you want to look at is the list titled File Commands.
