Delete score (#76)

* Wiped scores and added to git ignore

* Removed score.txt

* Removed  score.txt

* Made it so score.txt is created on first start up of game.

* Used SCOREFILE final string.

* Added use of the boolean for create file

* Made it so the score file will be created upon one retry.
