This makes sense to me and keeps the game usable in principle without
needing to do silly things. ok beck@
Related is that reading threaded mail in gmail and seeing "Theo" on
them so you open them up is insidious. I think I need to change my
name to "Theo" as well...

Hi,
Move score and log files to $HOME for snake(6), a few notes on it:
First open(2) operation must be changed to O_RDWR|O_CREAT since the file is no
longer copied to the location like it was in Makefile and now needs to be
created if it doesn't exist.
Remove one else when exiting the game

Hi Theo, hope you are doing well! I did the changes as you instructed and now
since the snscore() is so tiny we might just as well incorporate it into
snake.c. There's not need for a separate file just for a function with a few
lines.

No, that won't compile. You'd need to use the reentrant version
getlogin_r(name, LOGIN_NAME_MAX), then.
I think using

Another thing as well, maybe char *name for getlogin(2) could/should be
declared as char name[LOGIN_NAME_MAX]?
