For this challenge, you will extend the existing program so that players scores are saved to and read from a text file (scores.txt). You should ask for the player's name at the start of each new game and use it to load their previous high score. If they manage to beat their personal best while playing, ask them if they would like to update the leaderboard and do so if prompted. To do this, you should create two new functions: • A function to retrieve the existing high score for the current player called: get_score. This should take a single argument, the players name and return their high score. If they don't have a high score return 0 or None. Players without a previous high score should always be asked whether they would like to store their score. • A function to save a new high score for the current player called: save_score. This should take two arguments (the players name and score). The function does not need to have a return value, but should handle writing the latest score to the text file and closing it. If a player already has a lower score saved in the file, update it instead. Your game will also need a more robust menu, it should contain options to: play the game, load the leaderboard or quit. Players should return there after games or viewing the leaderboard. Hints: • When the player loads the leaderboard, you will need to read the text file used to store the data and present the information in a tabular format so that it's easy to read. • Selecting the option to quit should close the program after printing a goodbye message.
