Do you have a suggestion for where to define it, then?  I couldn't find
any place that seemed "right".  startup.el seems to be the closest.  I
suppose we could just define it in gamegrid.el, but then every Emacs
game that wants to save state would have to require that file.  Perhaps
this isn't a bad thing, but I think of "game-state-directory" much like
"temporary-file-directory".
