I have a problem using the while loop. When I am inputting right answer for example, and the second one is wrong, the tryAgain input is showing. If I want to play again, it just looping in from the start and choosing a topic won't work. If I made it wrong, from the start, it will just loop on its own from inputting answers.

I just show the structure of my code in order to understand.
Congratulations, because now you've learned what spaghetti code is - it's just a mess, where you can't properly find errors. When such situation occurs, try to divide your problem into smaller parts (stages). Implement the stages as functions, and your code will become much easier.
For example I tried to rework your program like this. ATTENTION: I don't have your files, so this code probably won't work out of the box, I cannot test it. But just try to read it and understand the approaches.
After reworking this code I noticed that you never set lives to any number, but you should.

Tried making a list but couldn't get the one variable to stay the same through the code loops it keeps resetting to the new name and new score. is there any way I could keep the highest score and its holder throughout the loops?
it should keep the name from the start if that name has the highest score and the program runs again and that player has a lower score should print the first name and first score, if it's higher it should print the second name with the second score.
I am using a for loop for numbering for my input answers. If the user gets a correct answer, it will stored in the list. But, if the user want to repeat the answer, it will print out that the user repeated the answer but the problem is, instead of inputting in the same number, it will go on the next number

Example:

Dark
You repeated your answer!
#This is the problem
Instead of inputting in number 3, it should be number 2 because it only repeats the answer.
In such cases using a while loop is the best choice. Assign a variable as starting point and then increment if condition false, if true use continue then it would have the same index.

Imagine i have the following problem.Write a program to play the following simple game. The player starts with $100. On each
turn a coin is flipped and the player has to guess heads or tails. The player wins $9 for each
correct guess and loses $10 for each incorrect guess. The game ends either when the player
runs out of money or gets to $200.
I have already solved the problem by using a while loop and some if and else statements. I will post the code. When i use if and else my program prints p1_points and p2_points.
import random
coin = ['h','t']
def cpu_guess():
return random.choice(coin)
def player1_guess():
return input('Digit your choice player 1\n')
def player2_guess():
return input('Digit your choice player 2\n')
def guessing_game():
p1_points = 100 #each player starts with 100$
p2_points = 100 #each player starts with 100$
while (0 < p1_points <= 200) or (0 < p2_points < 200):
cpu_choice = cpu_guess()
print(cpu_choice)
player1_choice = player2_guess()
player2_choice = player2_guess()
if player1_choice == cpu_choice:
p1_points += 45
print(p1_points)
else:
p1_points = p1_points - 45
print(p1_points)
if player2_choice == cpu_choice:
p2_points += 45
print(p2_points)
else:
p2_points = p2_points - 45
print(p2_points)
if p1_points > p2_points:
print('Player 1 won the game (',p1_points,'-',p2_points,')')
elif p2_points > p1_points:
print('Player 2 won the game (', p2_points, '-', p1_points, ')')
else:
print('Even game (',p1_points,'-',p2_points,')')
return p1_points,p2_points
print(guessing_game())
However imagine i want to put the following code.
if player1_choice == cpu_choice:
p1_points += 45
print(p1_points)
elif player_choice != cpu_choice
p1_points = p1_points - 45
print(p1_points)
elif player2_choice == cpu_choice:
p2_points += 45
print(p2_points)
else:
p2_points = p2_points - 45
print(p2_points)
In this situation why are only the player 1 points printed and not the player 2 points aswell?
It sounds like you want two separate if/else blocks:
if player1_choice == cpu_choice:
p1_points += 45
else:
p1_points -= 45
print(p1_points)
if player2_choice == cpu_choice:
p2_points += 45
else:
p2_points -= 45
print(p2_points)
I'm trying to write the Camel game using functions instead of so many nested if statements. I think I've done something wrong though, I've had to tinker with the native distance portion a lot as I kept getting into parts where they only got further away not closer. But now after trying to change the randomint values I can never escape them. Any suggestions for improvement are much appreciated!
Here is my code:

print(
"""

print("The camel is happy")

return(distanceN)

distanceT = random.randint(10,20)
print("You travel %d miles"%distanceT)
camelT = random.randint(1,3)
distanceN = random.randint(7,14)
return(distanceT,camelT,distanceN)
def moderateSpeed():
distanceB = random.randint(5,12)
print("You travel %d miles"%distanceB)
nativesB = random.randint(7,14)
return(distanceB,nativesB)
def thirsty(drinksLeft):
drinksL = drinksLeft - 1
return(drinksL)
def main():
choice = ""
done = False # loop variable
#variables for game
milesTraveled = 0

)

if choice.upper() == "Q":
done = quitGame()
elif findOasis is 1 :
print("Wow! You've found an Oasis. Your thirst is quenched, canteen topped off, \
and your camel is now well rested and happy.")
drinks = 5
thirst = 0

if drinks > 0:

print("That was not a correct choice - Enter (A through E or Q)")
if thirst > 4 and thirst <= 6:

print("The natives are getting close!")
elif milesTraveled >= 200:
print("YOU WIN \nCongrats, you made it across the desert!")
done = True
# call main
main()
The game ends when distanceNativesTraveled >= 0 and yet there's no code at all to decrease distanceNativesTraveled. So with every turn distanceNativesTraveled keeping increasing, the game is bound to end quickly.
What you really want here is to check if distanceNativesTraveled has surpassed milesTraveled, so change:
elif distanceNativesTraveled >= 0:
to:
elif distanceNativesTraveled >= milesTraveled:
And for the check to see if natives are getting close, change:
elif distanceNativesTraveled > -15:
to:
elif distanceNativesTraveled - milesTraveled > -15:
And to properly show the how many miles the natives are behind you, you should show the difference between the miles you and the natives traveled, so change:
"""%(milesTraveled,camelTiredness,drinks,thirst,distanceNativesTraveled))
to:
"""%(milesTraveled,camelTiredness,drinks,thirst,milesTraveled - distanceNativesTraveled))
I will start fresh! I have included the full code so you can get a picture for what i am trying to do. Prob (1) I can not loop back to the very beginning. Prob (2) It is not looping # the While higher_or_lower part of the code. it just goes through the if and else higher_or_lower statements. Thanks

Ok, a primer in how Python indentation works.
number = 1
while number < 10:
print(number)
number += 1
print("this will print everytime because it's inside the while")
Output:
1
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
2
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
3
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
4
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
5
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
6
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
7
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
8
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
9
this will print everytime because it's inside the while
Notice that the second print prints every time because of it's indentation.
Now the second example:
number = 1
while number < 10:
print(number)
number += 1
print("this will print AFTER the loop ends")
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
this will print AFTER the loop ends
See how it only printed after the loop ended? That is because of the indentation. You should correct your code and indent it properly...
Ok, I corrected the code and it seems to be working now. Most of it was because of the indentation. Please try to understand how it works...

It looks like adding a little structure would help you out.
Something like this might help you with doing your control flow. Hopefully gives you an outline that makes sense and makes it easier to run the loop multiple times.
