Anothe rconcern is how might you prevent someone from editing the high score?
There are whole books writtten on this! If blizzard can employ over 50 programmers on Diablo2 and the files still can get edited by hackers then one person really doesn't stand a chance. The only thing you can do is make it difficult to edit, hackers will only take the amount of time that they feel it is worth on a game. Your simple game they might give 10 minutes too and if they can't hack into it by then they will do something else, a game like Diablo2 they may have spent days on.
