A while with a false condition really won't do anything. It's there as a placeholder to keep while methods disabled for a while if you haven't got the relevant variable up yet.

The only way you could maybe say otherwise is if you had a variable that was set to false, and a while condition of "while variable is false." Technically that isn't a false condition, but it does resolve to false.

A while statement is basically looping a true statement over and over until it turns false. If the while statement is false to begin with, it will just not run in the first place, and Alice will skip ahead to the next piece of code.

So no, False will not do anything, sorry.
