I am trying to save and load a config file that contains the high score for a game I am making, and I have both the saving and loading working. However, I would rather not allow the user to simply be able to go into the .ini file and change their high score. Unfortunately, I am unaware of how to encrypt it. Thank you!

The ConfigFile class already has built-in support to save and load encrypted versions of your data. Take a look at save_encrypted(), save_encrypted_pass(), load_encrypted(), and load_encrypted_pass() in the docs here.
