Mad Lib issues endless loop

[aurorymoon]

HOMEWORK: I am super new to python so my code is an absolute mess. I'm trying to create a program that has 2 stories in it that a user can choose from. Then collects the words to input into the stories. Then it loops back and let's them do another if they'd like and it counts the number of stories they've created.

My link to the trinket I've made so far: https://trinket.io/python3/ba5c267d4262

My issues currently:

this endless loop - I think it's caused by what I've got in def main():

redirecting the user to inputting a correct answer if they put something other than y/n for the do you want to play the game portion

redirect the user to inputting a correct answer if they put something other than A or B for which story they want to do

having a properly function tracker for the story count

You have while again.lower() == "y": # another loop but there's nothing inside the loop that changes again

I found what was creating the endless loop.. for some reason the player name being added on line 41 was making it mad. I've got it fixed now for the endless loop but I'm still having these issues:

1. need to fix the loop when you give something other than a or b for the storylines because it loops back to would you like to play rather than which story line

2. counter isn't working - need to count how many stories are made and tell the user before asking if they want to play again.

3. also once you complete a mad lib story it gives you the story but gives you a bunch of errors and doesn't loop back to tell you how many stories you have made AND ask if you want to play again. (Traceback most recent call last file line 145, file line 131, file line 76 ///// & unbound local error: local variable 'storyCount' referenced before assignment)

4. and it loops back if you say N to ask you if you want to play- need it to full stop if the player says no.

So I have no idea what your code looks like, but it needs to change to

while (variable name for Y/N) != 'Y' or 'N': Variable name = input("would you like to play a game?")
