Creating a high score tracker

[PhillipKP]

This would be a good exercise because it teaches your how to write to files, load files, and parse data stored in files.

Breaking the problem down:

• Count the number of guesses
• Ask user for input if the user is in the top 10 scores (aka top 10 lowest number of guesses)
• We need to learn how to open text files.
• We need to learn to read the open text files.
• We need to parse the data from the opened text files.
• Data stored in the file:
• 3 letter initials and score (aka number of guesses)
• Displaying the data on a screen.
• How to break a tie if two or more scores are the same.

• [x] First we need to ask the user to enter their initials (up to 3 letters) then use regex to check for legit characters and is only 3 characters.

[PhillipKP]

• [x] Get the number of guesses
• [x] Get the date and time as a string variable
• [x] Concatenate the initials, the date and time, and number of guesses into a comma separated string.
• [x] Write that string to file as a comma delimiters
• [x] Open that file
• [x] Parse the file
• [x] Split a string by commas
• [x] Insert the split strings aka sub-strings into a vector of structs for sorting.
• [x] Figure out how to line up the columns when printing out the high scores for cases when there is only 2 initials
• [ ] Compute scores that in the top 10
• [ ] Displays scores that are in the top 10
• [ ] Throws away scores that are not in the top 10
• [ ] Display the people with the lowest guess
