Hi
The thing is this
I get an error that says sort() has no arguments
Th error is in the sentence
high_score.sort(reverse=TRUE)
If you put just sort() it will work but the list will show from low to high
and we don't want that 'cause if you make a high score it won't be able to
know so you have to figure out another way to reverse the list
Regards
Alberto
