    Have you tried writing a test program?

    In C, enum values are global. They're like fancy #define constants. If you don't want their names to conflict, you need to either give them different ones or add some sort of prefix that distinguishes them.

    Could score_value be implemented as a function where you enter enum value and get a integer returned?
