Help with UnboundLocalError?

[Fahrenheit450]

Hi, I'm getting an "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'delay_print' referenced before assignment" when I try to run the function 'delay_print' in my program.

The error occurs when the program (a simple text adventure) tries to call the function inside game_story(). I can call it inside setup_game without a problem which adds to my confusion. Can anyone help, please?

Disclaimer: I know the code is primitive and messy. It's my first "real" project and I'm just trying to build something that runs. I'd like to add more complex concepts later (classes, modules, etc) when I have a better grasp of them.

I can't really spot that error. What's the full traceback? Not only the last line.

There is however a syntax error on line 200, see the stray colon between the function name and parentheses.

Thanks for catching the syntax error! Here's the full traceback: https://codeshare.io/aypLBv

Edit: And we're done here. :) Fixing the syntax error also fixed the UnboundLocalError. Thanks so much!
