The problem is in class GameScreen: I use a while loop to make sure that when I click "Play Game" that the new screen appears. If this while loop isn't there, the gamescreen blits on the screen for just a second before my main screen once again reappears.
However, if the while loop is there, the while loop causes the imageList to keep running and the cards keep on refreshing because of the loop.
Is there any way to exclude my imageList from the while loop so that the images don't keep refreshing?
