Asking user whether he/she wants to play again but typing yes just repeats this question again rather starting again

It is a number guessing game

Explanation

At first it asks the user to enter a number between 1 to 50 Then if the number is correct then you win else you have to try again (The winning number is random offcourse)You also have limited guesses

The problem is mentioned below the code Here is my code:)

import random
winning_num = 23
guesses = 1
guesses_left = 9
game_over = False
end_game = False
number_enter = False
while not end_game:    
    while not number_enter:
        try:
            ask = int(input("ENTER A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 50: "))
            print(f"TOTAL GUESSES = {guesses_left}")
            break
        except ValueError:
            print("INVALID INPUT!!")
            continue
    while not game_over: 
        if ask==winning_num:
            print(f"YOU WON BY GUESSING THE NUMBER IN {guesses} TIME(S)!!")
            print("DO YOU WANT TO PLAY AGAIN?")
            while True:
                ask1 = input("ENTER 'YES' OR 'NO' ONLY: ")
                ask1 = ask1.lower()
                if ask1=='yes':
                    print("YOU CHOSE TO PLAY AGAIN")
                    game_over = False
                    break
                elif ask1=="no":
                    print("THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THIS GAME")
                    game_over = True
                    end_game = True
                    break
                else:
                    print("PLEASE WRITE 'YES' OR 'NO' ONLY ")
                    continue
            

        elif ask>winning_num:
            print("TOO HIGH!!")
            guesses+=1
            guesses_left-=1
            while True:
                try:
                    ask = int(input("TRY AGAIN: "))
                    print(f"GUESSES LEFT = {guesses_left}")
                    break
                except ValueError:
                    print("INVALID INPUT!!")
                    continue
            if guesses_left==1:
                print("ONLY ONE GUESS LEFT!!")
                continue
            elif guesses_left==0:
                print("YOU LOSE!!")
                break
        elif ask<winning_num:
             print("TOO LOW!!")
             guesses+=1
             guesses_left-=1
             while True:
                 try:
                     ask = int(input("TRY AGAIN: "))
                     print(f"GUESSES LEFT = {guesses_left}")
                     break
                 except ValueError:
                     print("INVALID INPUT!!")
                     continue
             if guesses_left==1:
                 print("ONLY ONE GUESS LEFT!!")
                 continue
             elif guesses_left==0:
                 print("YOU LOSE!!")
                 break
                

The problem is when the game ends It asks whether we want to play again But if we type "Yes" it again asks the same "Do you want to play again" However typing "No" works fine and the program ends

Solution 1:

you have to set game_over = False in case ask1 = yes so that it can come out of the parent while loop and proceed. Also, you'll have to reset number of guesses etc so that it starts as a new game.

Solution 2:

import random
winning_num = 23
guesses = 1
guesses_left = 9
game_over = False
end_game = False
number_enter = False
while not end_game:    
    while not number_enter:
        try:
            ask = int(input("ENTER A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 50: "))
            print(f"TOTAL GUESSES = {guesses_left}")
            break
        except ValueError:
            print("INVALID INPUT!!")
            continue
    while not game_over: 
        if ask==winning_num:
            print(f"YOU WON BY GUESSING THE NUMBER IN {guesses} TIME(S)!!")
            print("DO YOU WANT TO PLAY AGAIN?")
            while True:
                ask1 = input("ENTER 'YES' OR 'NO' ONLY: ")
                ask1 = ask1.lower()
                if ask1=='yes':
                    print("YOU CHOSE TO PLAY AGAIN")
                    game_over = True
                    break
                elif ask1=="no":
                    print("THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THIS GAME")
                    game_over = True
                    end_game = True
                    break
                else:
                    print("PLEASE WRITE 'YES' OR 'NO' ONLY ")
                    continue
        

        elif ask>winning_num:
            print("TOO HIGH!!")

                    ask = int(input("TRY AGAIN: "))
                    print(f"GUESSES LEFT = {guesses_left}")
                    break
                except ValueError:
                    print("INVALID INPUT!!")
                    continue
            if guesses_left==1:
                print("ONLY ONE GUESS LEFT!!")
                continue
            elif guesses_left==0:
                print("YOU LOSE!!")
                break

                     break
