title: How to make a xna leaderboard?
body: <p>I've got a simple Game for windows phone where the player drags a ship around the screen to collect items and avoid asteroids. Every time an item is collected, a score counter at the top of the screen increases by one.</p>
  
  <p>The thing is, I'd like to have the game transition into a leaderboard once the player's ship collides with a asteroid, and I can't figure out how I would go about it.</p>
  
  <p>I have an integer that stores the score value, but once the player collides with an asteroid, the value of that integer of reset (of course). </p>
  
  <p>How can I go about storing what the final value of the player's score before death to a separate integer and the display it on the leaderboard screen? No need to explain gamestate management, I already know how to play around with that.</p>
