Okay, two questions. Anyone is welcome to help.  
1: Why doesn’t the number of money show up after the game reloads? It is being saved.  
2: Why does my game break when the main variable (delivery\_start?) is set to true, and the status bar is filling?

If anyone has an answer to it, you are welcome to weld it into the code. - CyberPulse

I fixed the money thing with 1 easy thing. Basically you set the money on the sprite but not the saved money on the money variable.

Hi, @jackal

For #1, in your `game` function, you test for whether the setting has been saved, but you never load it back into the `money` variable. Change the `else` clause to this:

For #2, I have a feeling I know what is going on, although I couldn’t test it for sure. You have this:

This is an example of an _infinite loop_. Once you enter the `while` loop, you have no way of getting out, and your game will appear to be frozen. What I think you want is something like this:

Your game still might freeze until the status bar fills up, though, because `pause` is what’s called a _blocking function_. A **blocking function** stops your code until it completes. If that’s the case, then you can do this instead:

Good luck! Let us know if you need additional help.
