Solution: Score Logger

We'll cover the following...

This program lets a player enter their name and score, saves it to a file, and then reads the file to show all saved scores.

  • input() asks the user to type their name and score.

  • The first with open("scores.txt", "a") as file: opens the file named scores.txt in append mode ("a"), which means new entries are added to the end of the file without erasing old ones.

  • file.write() saves the player’s name and score in the format Name:Score, followed by a new line (\n).

  • The second with open("scores.txt", "r") as file: opens the same file in read mode ("r").

  • file.read() reads the entire content of the file.

  • print(content) displays all the saved scores on the screen.

name = input("Player name: ")
score = input("Score: ")

with open("scores.txt", "a") as file:
    file.write(name + ":" + score + "\n")
    
with open("scores.txt", "r") as file:
    content = file.read()
    print(content)
