Problem:I want to create a high score system for my pong clone. I cant figure it out and there arent ANY examples on the web. I want it to record how many times you hit the ball in succesion,what do I need to add?

EDIT:
Writing and reading to/from a file is my problem, NOT variables. when I do that, all the scores are 0!!!
