Hello,
I have made my ~/.emacs.d/games directory not writable since I do not
wish to have scores saved. How do I tell emacs this so to avoid an error
been thrown whenever emacs tries to write games' scores?
Thanks.
Colin Baxter.

shared-game-score-directory is variable you can set and then set it on
/run/user/your-ID/ and directory will disappear on next reboot.

Great, I didn't know that variable. Thanks Jean.
