I need help with a game I am making. I want to make a variable that is called world.forever that will ask the player if he wants to play forever or not. I already know how to make Alice ask, but how do i make it go forever if the variable is true and and not if its false?

Well, if the variable is a number variable, and the person says "yes" to play forever, then have the variable to set value to infinity. (just type infinity into the custom numbers)

You could use an if/else method. See the attached program for an example. The text will tell you what the variable is set to, and to gurantee no errors, I have put a watch on the variable so you can see the actual variable.

I hope this helps.
