I'm also for /var/games.
For completeness: on IRC we came to the conclusion that somewhere in $HOME/.local would be best. Sharing score files could be achieved by symlinking them. However, I fail to tell bsd-games to lookup $HOME during runtime and lack the time to further investigate at the moment. It would be easier to use a fixed path (without env var lookup), but we should use one normal users on non-nixos systems have write access to. -- Florian Friesdorf <[email protected]> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
