Why is this not working? Thanks!

I think the reset game block at the bottom of the on menu option selected block is causing problems. I pulled that out and the game runs much better, from what I can tell. Maybe you can explain exactly what is going wrong, if thatâs not the issue.
P.S⌠Jaw dropping art.

The reset game block was used to update the images after selling a part and removing it from the âOwnedPartsâ array (press B to open the menu, then sell part). I removed it and manually called the functions âUpdateStatsâ, âUpdateSubDisplayâ, and âUpdateTextDisplayâ. It works fine for a bit, then goes weird again. To be clear, It suddenly says, âare you sure you want to restart?â, which only is supposed to happen when you ask to restart.
I am not completely sure how the BlockMenu extension works, but this is what I noticed. When I started debugging the game, I could open the menu with B, choose various options and eventually close the menu with âCancelâ. However, when I was moving the submarine around, it then started calling the âon menu option selectedâ block function (I put a breakpoint at the first if statement). In the BlockMenu I noticed there is a âset controls enabledâ method. When I added that to the âBâ event, I had set that to false, but then I could not move the menu options. I set that method to âtrueâ after opening the menu, and to âfalseâ again when selecting âCancelâ.
The menu no longer appears while playing, so I think this may be the fix. Otherwise you could check with @richard, as he made the extension.
BTW: the options when asking to restart are barely visible. Otherwise, again, you have made a really good game and I like how the submarines shoot each other. Being able to select different submarines and parts is quite unique.
It may be how itâs nested in the if statement? I had a hard time with the menu blocks sequences.
Thanks! This really helps! I forgot to add that block.
Yes, I plan to change the palette to fix that.
