Did you bother to check out the resource section http://www.byond.com/members/?command=search&type=resources ?

You'll need to use a savefile for that. Simplest thing is just to keep a list and save it when it changes, and load it when you start up the world.

var/const/MAXSCORES = 10
var/list/scores[MAXSCORES]
var/list/scorenames[MAXSCORES]

world/New()
  var/savefile/F = new("scores.blag")
  if(F)
    F >> scores
    F >> scorenames

proc/addscore(var/score, var/name)
  //find where score would place
  var/v = 1
  for(, v <= MAXSCORES, v++)
    //break the loop on the first score we find that we beat
    //(ties will go to seniority)
    if(score > scores[v])
      break
  
  //if we found we beat a score (will be MAXSCORES+1 if we don't)
  if(v <= MAXSCORES)
    scores.Insert(score)
    scores.Cut(MAXSCORES+1)
    scorenames.Insert(name)
    scorenames.Cut(MAXSCORES+1)
    //we now save the lists
    var/savefile/F = new("scores.blag")
    if(F)
      F << scores
      F << scorenames
    //we might as well return where we are on the high scores list
    return v
  else
    return 0
