Bug Description
When finished playing the snake game that is included in Emacs23, it tries to update a non-existing scores file. The error message is:
Failed to access scores file: No such file or directory.
The problem can be fixed by adding these lines to .emacs:
(setq snake-score-file
"~/
This bug is similar to bug #577914 (Missing scores file in Tetris).

Thanks for reporting.
While testing I found that this issue is still present in emacs23, even the version available in 14.04. However, the score file is created and behaves as expected in emacs24 24.5+1-6ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04. I skimmed through the changelog, but didn't find any explicit reference to what fixed it, so I am unsure what or if a patch could be made and applied to older releases.
