Presumably a feature like high scores should be implemented in its own class, rather than included in the "main" class.

Good object-oriented design involves splitting up the responsibilities among different classes, with each class having responsibilities that match its name. Perhaps you need a HighScoresTable class, and should think about which methods it needs -- perhaps something like this:

  • List getRankedListOfNames()
  • List getRankedListOfScores()
  • void addNewScore(String name, int score)

and naturally, you'd need some private fields to store the high scores data.
