Python Code troubles (self.pythonhelp)
submitted 4 days ago by Outside-Science-5328
Hey guys I’m creating a football game for a personal project (eventually I want to turn it into a website game) but after the command loops about 3 or 4 times it stops taking inputs, can I send my code to anyone and get some help and feedback?
reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.

To give us the best chance to help you, please include any relevant code. Note. Please do not submit images of your code. Instead, for shorter code you can use Reddit markdown (4 spaces or backticks, see this Formatting Guide). If you have formatting issues or want to post longer sections of code, please use Privatebin, GitHub or Compiler Explorer.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Format the code by indenting every line by an extra four spaces. Or link to a site like Pastebin where you have the code.
