Add option to clear high scores

I'd argue that this isn't a bug, but a question.

This can be done by truncating the files located in /var/games.
These files are only writable by root and the games group.

You can reset the highscore in Mahjongg by running the following two commands in a terminal:

sudo su
for a in `ls /var/games/mahjongg.*`; do cat /dev/null > $a; done

The reason why this is done the way it is, is to make it possible for users to share the highscore-table without making it obviously easy to cheat. Implementing what you ask from within a game is most likely never to happen, since that would break this feature.

Surely this should be implemented as bug #400931 gave negative scores which are still shown after the update of gnome-games to 2.27.5 (see attachment).

You can modify the scores of mahjongg by opening a terminal,
Applications>Accessories>terminal
then typing
ls /var/games/mahjongg.*
and a list of files like
/var/games/mahjongg.easy.scores
will appear. Choose the file named for the level of mahjongg you want to modify. The you type
sudo gedit /var/games/mahjongg.easy.scores
(In this example the level is "easy")
and delete the scores you dont want then save the file.
Choose the file named for the level of mahjongg you want to modify.

A feature that would be nice is to ALWAYS display your score at bottom of list. As the game is now, after 10 games, you cant see your score unless it is better than the 10th one.
HAve a good day!
