How to write and read variables from a text file

I want to know how to write and read variables from a text file. So if I'm doing a game, for example, I'll be able to save the player's progress.

In pseudo code:

variable = 1
# write to text file that variable = 1
# close program
# open program
variable
# Then IDLE should output 1

If you can help me out I would really appreciate it!

To write:

with open('game_vars.txt', 'w') as file:
    file.write(f'{score}\n{time}\n{high_score}\n')

To read:

with open('game_vars.txt', 'r') as file:
    score = int(file.readline().strip())
    time = int(file.readline().strip())
    high_score = int(file.readline().strip())
