[Feature]: Persists achievements when we start the game/get a new one

👉 Please confirm the following

• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
• I checked the current issues for duplicate features.

🤔 Is your proposal related to a problem?

Whenever we play the game, we have the same achievements popping up, for instance, after killing 10 dinos, we have an achievements popping up, and if we quit and play again, we have it AGAIN.

Look at this PR: #300

😍 Describe the solution you'd like

We would need to save the achievements in a file, like in the settings.properties ?
So you would need to read this file when we start the game, and also to write in this file when a new achievements has been unlocked.

👍️ Describe alternatives you've considered

Seem interesting, I was thinking something like a .ser file but the settings.properties seem interesting too. Is there a better one to use ? Other then that, this issue seem to be fun to do , I can do it.

Awesome, I am assigning it to you.
Well, great question, either the .ser file or a settings.properties. I don't know right now which one is the best. Maybe you can have a look, find the best practice on internet and implement the best thing.
At the same time, if you want, you could refactor a bit the project because we have:

• totalCoins.ser file for maximum coins earned in a game
• highScore.ser file for maximum highest score earned
• settings.properties for the sound and the language default

Isn't it a bit too heavy, all of these files ? Have a look on the best practice, maybe refactor it in one file only?

Btw when we run the .jar file, we can see the .ser files are hidden for the users, so that's great no? I guess putting it in a .ser file is more safe as the user won't be able to cheat, right?

Anyway, feel free to do whatever you want, in a clean way, and I am expecting the best solution :) Good luck and thanks!! @Nathan84625

Thank you ! My first reflexe would have been to separate everything, but Ill check how it impact the game. Also, because the .ser file are hidden I'll probobly go with that, but just in case I'll do some research before !
