What happens when the game ends (when your game over !)

Keep the score, for a leaderboard, can be only local. Show the leaderboard to the player and where he stands. For now, exluding this detail, that's what should happen.

We could have a 3 letter arcady nickname thing. or just the possibility of writing a name for the score. For the 3 letter thingy, just google it if you don't know what I mean, it's a classic amongst arcades.

I'm not totally sure yet for a leaderboard, because it's so easy to cheat on the game as it's going. We could do some things to enforce security, but I don't think it's important for the contest.

Second, to keep a leaderboard, we need a 'serverside' something wich we don't have for now. the game is totally client side, so I would say we do it after the contest to concentrate on the game first.

No, no no, just a local leaderboard, to keep up with your score, and score of other peeps on your machine, and no security required, if you want to cheat at the game you own at your place, that's your ego problem.
