I have just played a Tetris game (very nice with the bigger glyphs,
thank you for that!), and Emacs wrote the score file to
/tmp/tetris-scores, rather than /home/sven/.emacs.d/games/tetris-scores.

The code in question is a bit confusing -- there are many different
possibilities, like a shared directory and executables to manage that.
But I think that basically the logic is wrong: In a default environment
(no shared), it should write to gamegrid-user-score-file-directory, not
"/tmp", so I've changed that on the trunk now to be more in line with
documented behaviour.
