Ok I'm a VERY (stress the VERY) beginner programmer and I made a yahtzee game. Now, I'm trying to make a high score list so as to keep track of the high scores in my 1-player yahtzee game even after the applet is closed. I have one class called Yahtzee that runs my game of Yahtzee, and I would like to be able to access another class that would take care of keeping the high scores (possibly through writing to a text file or something). I have looked all over the internet, and every way I find to write to a text file only works in a stand-alone program, and fails as soon as I try to access it through my yahtzee program. I know my coding sucks, but here is my main Yahtzee class (I won't show my dieRoll, scoreCard, and ruleTest classes because I don't think there necessary for what I'm trying to do)

}And yes I know its not great but, oh well, if theres any way for me to do it let me know.
