Comment (by ryandesign):
2048.cpp stores scores and statistics in ${prefix}/var/2048.cpp/data.
According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
FHS] `var` is for "files whose content is expected to continually change
during normal operation of the system"; storing scores and statistics
there seems correct to me. `share` would not be an appropriate place for
that kind of data; `share` is for manpages, documentation, and other
architecture-independent files installed with the software and not
expected to change during the normal operation of the system.
