Input loop isn't working properly

[Ojies]

There is a loop from lines 750-970 that has 2 options in an if statement for when you input a string for the variable "input". When it asks you to input something it does the first option of "run" no matter what you type in. Could I please have help in solving this issue? I am shortening the code a bit so it fits in this post.

There is a loop from lines 750-970 that has 2 options in an if statement ...

You have a loop that is 220 lines long inside a function. So the function is how many lines long? 225? 250? 700? 1000?

Functions that long are out of control.

A function should be a max of maybe 100 lines--less than 80 is better. If it is longer than that, it is much more difficult to understand and maintain.

Break your large, unwieldy function into smaller, more manageable bites and maintain that. A place to start is to take the code blocks from your if and else statements and make them stand-alone functions called from the if and else statements. Take the code block from the while loop and make it a stand-alone function that is called within the while loop. See where that gets you, and break it up some more if the functions are still too big.

The overhead of a function call is pretty small. It is definitely worth the overhead to make a huge function more manageable.
