Oy vey. Please use code tags when posting code...click "Edit Post" near the bottom of your post, highlight your code, and click on the # button. That'll make everything easier to read. All you need to do is keep track of the highest score seen so far; just keep a variable called top_score and initialize it to 0. On each iteration, you compare the current score to top_score. If the current score is greater, then reassign top_score to the current score. Otherwise leave it alone.

Put the code inbetween CODE tags.

Hello,

when your program ends, all data stored in your variables will be lost. So you need to write top score into file and read it on every start of your program.

Algorithm:
1) if file topscore.txt doesnt exist, create it and write there score 0
2) read score
3) your game-logic
4) if new score is greater then topscore, remove file and create new one.
5) end

Below are links to reference manual for manipulating files. See examples for methods open, close and operators << and >>.
