Opening a file in "write" mode ( 'w' ) ensures a clean slate, though it riskily deletes existing data if not handled with care.

In the early stages of software engineering education and lightweight game development, the .txt format remains a foundational tool for data persistence. This paper examines the role of structured text files, specifically "games.txt", in managing game logs, scores, and metadata. It explores how these files serve as a bridge between volatile memory and permanent storage, facilitating debugging, player tracking, and cross-platform data portability. Introduction sgames.txt

While modern AAA titles utilize complex relational databases (SQL) or binary formats, text-based storage like games.txt is widely utilized for its simplicity and human-readability. Whether used to store a list of hockey matches or tracking a player's backlog, these files provide a transparent way to manage information without the overhead of a database management system.
