this is my current code

id like to implement the rest of the blackjack rules

howerver currently i feel like the function start_of_game

is a bit unoptimized for adding more features

Instead of "aaa" you should put your question there instead.

If your code is too long to paste in one Discord message paste it to the pastebin

!paste

okay sorry mate

anyways

    if player_value > 21:
        print("You Lose!")
        return 0
    
    while dealer_value <= 16:
        dealer_cards.append(deal_card())
        display_cards(0)
        time.sleep(3)

so ive implemented this

now after the player busts, id like to exit out of the function "start_of_game"

is return 0 the best way to do it?
