Oh sorry, "run for its money" is an idiom that I didn't even realize I was using.
I guess that "polish" as a noun in this sense is also somewhat obscure. What about doing initials for high scores, like I did in
Invalid Tangram? That's very easy to code.
This would indeed be very easy to code but that would then be a pain for the player to input. But you gave me an idea to make the name input easy to code and to use: I can make an initials-style name input but with a longer name and with key shortcuts. This would not be too hard to code (but the sentence I wrote doesn't really make any sense, so you'll have to wait for the result to see what I mean).

I think I get the basic idea: arrow keys to scroll up and down between letters, but let them use other keys to jump directly to certain letters. I think that's a good solution, if that is indeed what you mean.
