Ah, I had a creeping suspicion that it wasn't really saving all high
scores, so thanks for explaining that. :)

Although that does open up another line of questioning, in that if we
still only save 10 highscore slots, would that also negate the benefit
of modifying the ScoreManager?  And likewise, if we increase the score
slots to accommodate for the different level packs/difficulties/etc
(which will probably need more than 10 to stay relevant), that in
itself won't increase the loading times, no?
