Details

Description:
A recent update broke typespeed, and it fails to open its "score" file. Both `/usr/bin/typespeed` and `/var/games/typespeed.score` should be owned by the `games` group, and the executable should have the setgid flag set. (at least that's how I think it worked before)

Additional info:
* package version: 0.6.5-9

Steps to reproduce:
1. start typespeed
2. it fails immediately with the following error:

typespeed: main: open: /var/games/typespeed.score: Permission denied

Also, I think `/var/games/typespeed.score` should be part of the `backup` array.

In addition to this also write permissions must be assigned to group as the default mode is 644 (read for group and/or others).
