I've been driving myself insane trying to troubleshoot and fix this. I cerated this dice rolling game with bets. I'm pretty new to coding, so I'm sure it's a simple error that I just keep overlooking.
- The only issue is that it will not end the game if the user inputs "no".
- The function doesn't return any errors. It runs and even prints GAME OVER before it returns the values used to find out if the player wants to play another round.
- What happens is that it prints the game over, and then loops the diceRoll function without stopping it.
