I've encountered an issue in my program where, upon the game entering a new while loop, it freezes (or at least appears to freeze).
When I click outside the window the games stops responding, which leads me to believe that it's most likely the game freezing/crashing over simply not detecting an input.
When playing my game, the user has four options to select (only two of them somewhat work at the moment), one of them allowing them to access their inventory. when the variable "inv" == True, the game is meant to enter a loop similar to the game's main loop where procedures limited to the inventory screen will occur.
Here's the code relevant to the "inv == True" while loop:
def textChange(end, inv, spin, fight, run): #code for changing text
integ = random.randint(0,4) # for choosing a random escape quote from the runWords variable
if end == True:
display_box.draw(screen) # draws the main box to the screen.
textDisplay("", 487, 312, fBold)
textDisplayMessage(run[integ],12,297)
time.sleep(2)
pygame.quit() #quit game
sys.exit()
gameRun = False #break the loop.
elif inv == True: #if the inventory has been selected
while inv == True: #if user in the inventory menu:
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
inv_window = pygame.transform.scale(pygame.image.load("bigbox.png"), (449, 289)) #loads display box
screen.fill(bg_colour) #fills screen
screen.blit(inv_window, (75,0)) #blits the display box
display_box.drawsmall(screen) #draws smaller box
pygame.display.update() #updates display
if key[pygame.K_ESCAPE]: #if down
inv = False
print("howdy")
else:
display_box.draw(screen) #display larger message box
display_box.drawsmall(screen) #display smaller selection box
textDisplay("fight", 487, 312, fBold) #display fight option
textDisplay("items", 561, 312, iBold) #item option
textDisplay("spin",487,376, sBold) #spin option
textDisplay("run",561,376, rBold) #run
textDisplayMessage(message, 12, 297)
and here's the full code for context:
#inventory
#display items in 2 x 4 at right of box
#next page option if more items needed
#items type listed down left side
#select item: use option and back option appear in lower right box
#back option will be present in lower right box otherwise.
