Hi! I fixed your code!:

Don't ask me what i did, i just wrote the same code, but shorter, and it seems like it works.

Oh wait. No, it doesn't works. I think you should put the ending to a function, so it will be more readable.

Ok, now i REALLY found the problem in your code. This time really. Put the "if crabhp <= 0:" etc. line of code inside the first while loop, and then at the last if statement use the break method. If it doesn't works, then idk.

Answer 2

Your main loop has the wrong conditions. Try this instead:

while mercy == 0 and hp > 0 and crabhp > 0:

meaning, that you only do the loop as long as

• no mercy is shown AND
• the player is still alive AND
• the crab is still alive

In other words the game ends if

• mercy is shown OR
• the player is dead OR
• the crab is dead

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
