My code is meant to be a simple, turn based game based on classic japanese role-playing games from the NES era. the display is mostly made up of static images and two text boxes, one displaying the players current hit points and magic points, and another describing the actions of each participant as they take their actions.
here is how I intend for it to work: the program begins, and the turn counter is set to "1". whenever the turn counter is "1" it is the players turn andd a numbered list of commands are displayed in the text box. the player selects which one they want by pressing the number key that corresponds to that action, the appropriate function is called, the turn counter is set to "2", the enemy takes their turn, and the turn counter is set back to "1". this continues until someones HP reaches 0 or lower, at which point a message declaring the winner is displayed.
the two issues i'm running into are as follows: the message text, declared early in the main with placeholder values, does not update to what it should when turn == 1. the second issue is that the code does not seem to be accepting any input, as I have set some text to display the current value of the "turn" variable, leading me to believe that there is either something preventing the inputs from being accepted, or something is preventing all text from being updated, not just the text box.
below is the main function of my code, and whole thing, along with the bmp and wav files used can be found here if that's more helpful: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nr151r4ysg4shmz/Code.zip/file
