🔒 I'm having trouble with making a while loop for my code | Python | Page 1

I was making Tic-Tac-Toe and I want to ask the player if they want to play again after the game is over. If they say yes, the game will start again. if they say no, the game says Have a nice day and the game stops.
But I'm having trouble with the while-loop.
If I were to do this:

continue = True
While continue:

(game codes)

continue = input("Would you like to play again? (yes/no)")
if continue == "yes":
continue = True
elif continue == "no":
continue = False
print("Goodbye!")

The game just keeps going on, if i remove the continue = True, the code gets an error. The error is "name 'continue' is not defined"

Could someone help me please?

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Could you share the actual code? Looks like you could have an indentation problem

sure, but the variables and hashtags are in a different language. Do you know how I can share It or is it just better to copy paste?

Pasting large amounts of code

So the code is not written in python? Or you mean the text and comments are not in English?

drowsy sapphire Oct 13, 2025, 11:26 AM

#

some of the text and comments yes

#

Can I just copy paste the code here?

Hey @drowsy sapphire!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

So you are facing the problem of while loop closing even after thr player says yes to plau again?

your doorgan is always True, you do the input outside the while loop

rustic pewter Oct 13, 2025, 11:36 AM

#

The last 6 or so lines are outside the while loop

The opposite, The question doesn't get asked and it automatically plays again

If i remove the true, the while loop won't work for some reason

warm siren Oct 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

drowsy sapphire The opposite, The question doesn't get asked and it automatically plays again

Because that part is outside the while-loop and your while loop's condition is set to always True hence the while-loop is never exited and the quedtion is not asked

drowsy sapphire If i remove the true, the while loop won't work for some reason

yeh, thats fine

indent ur last 7 lines so they are inside the while loop

rustic pewter Oct 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

Indent the last 6 or so lines. Currently they will only run if the while loop exits

drowsy sapphire Oct 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

rustic pewter The last 6 or so lines are outside the while loop

#

OHHHHHH!! Thank you all so much!!
