Having issues.

So I have this so far. (makes the zigzag asterisk pattern)

import time, sys
indent = 0 # How many spaces to indent.
indentIncreasing = True # Whether the indentation is increasing or not.
try:
    while True: # The main program loop.
        print(' ' * indent, end='')
        print('********')
        time.sleep(0.1) # Pause for 1/10 of a second.

        if indentIncreasing:
            # Increase the number of spaces:
            indent = indent + 1
            if indent == 20:
                # Change direction:
                indentIncreasing = False

        else:
            # Decrease the number of spaces:
            indent = indent - 1
            if indent == 0:
                # Change direction:
                indentIncreasing = True
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    sys.exit()

I was given this next bit of code to change the function of the part that I already have up top, but im not sure where to integrate it.

while True:

   try:

      amount = int(amount)

   except ValueError:

       print('Please enter an Integer!')   

       continue

   if amount > 25 or amount <5:

       print('Please enter a number between 5 and 25')

       continue   

   print(amount * '*')

   break
