how to make it that it does not repeat?

I know that a "not repeat with random from a list" is probably seen as a info you can find, but as someone who does not have a lot of knowledge of python yet, i cannot seem to understand those answers or they do not work for my problem. So I hope any of you are able to help.
as my first small project I am building a truth or dare program, and now I am at the point that I want to make it that the questions cannot be asked twice, and that if the truth questions are all done it prints that announcement, and I want the same for my dare questions.
here is my program so far, sorry if it is messy:
import random
import time
truth = ["If you could be invisible, what is the first thing you would do?",
"What is a secret you kept from your parents?",
"What is the most embarrassing music you listen to?",
"What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?",
"Who is your secret crush?"]
dare = ["Do a free-style rap for the next minute",
"Let another person post a status on your behalf.",
"Hand over your phone to another player who can send a single text saying anything they want to anyone they want.",
"Let the other players go through your phone for one minute.",
"Smell another player's armpit."]
print("Hello, and welcome to my truth or dare show, just type truth or type dare to get a question!")
lives = 3
while lives > 0:
choice = input("truth or dare?: ").lower()
time.sleep(0.5)
if choice == "truth":
print(random.choice(truth))
time.sleep(0.5)
while True:
answer_truth = input("want to answer? type yes or no: ").lower()
if answer_truth == "yes":
input("> ").lower()
print("good answer")
time.sleep(0.5)
print(f"you have {lives} lives left")
break
elif answer_truth == "no":
print("you lost a life!")
time.sleep(1)
lives -= 1
print(f"you have {lives} lives left")
break
else:
print("that is not an option")
elif choice == "dare":
print(random.choice(dare))
time.sleep(0.5)
while True:
do_dare = input(f"did you do the dare? type yes or no: ").lower()
if do_dare == "yes":
print("well done!")
time.sleep(0.5)
print(f"you have {lives} lives left")
break
elif do_dare == "no":
print("you lost a life!")
lives -= 1
time.sleep(0.5)
print(f"you have {lives} lives left")
break
else:
print("that is not an option")
else:
print("that is not an option")
time.sleep(0.5)
print("GAME OVER!")

This should work:
choice = random.choice(truth)
time.sleep(0.5)
# inside the loop
truth.remove(choice)
if len(truth) == 0:
print("all questions are done")
do the same for dare

You probably want a construct like this:
from random import shuffle
ls = ["a", "b", "c"]
shuffle(ls)
lives = 3
while lives > 0 and ls:
current_question = ls.pop()
... # Rest of your code

So you want to select a random option, but then no longer have it in the set that you select random things from in the future.
If you imagine it physically, you have a jar list that has papers item's in it and you want to take them out at random. Obviously, any that you take out can not be taken out again.
We can accomplish this by removing the item from the list after it's 'picked'
To answer your question about having it let them know there are no more truths or no more dares, we can simply add a conditional to the whole truth segment and one to the whole dare segment as well, then further, if both run out, end the game.
while lives > 0 and (len(truth)>0 or len(dare>0)):
# Rest of the program
if choice == "truth":
if len(truth) > 0:
# Code
else:
print("there are no more truths (existential crisis), maybe try a dare instead")
elif choice == "dare":
if len(dare)>0:
# Code
else:
print("there are no more dares *sigh of releif*, maybe try a truth instead")

the input is not working in the second time

when an invalid answer (a number higher than 2) is given and is sent back to the intro(name) (see the else statement at the bottom) which is the introduction, the choise1 is auto completed and is redirected to crowbar()
def intro(name):#added the whole code
print( name + " you are in a back of a car hands tied, you can't remember anything apart the cheesy pizza you had for breakfast")
time.sleep(1)
print("you can see 2 men outside the car chilling out, they haven't seen that you have waken up")
time.sleep(1)
print("you figure out that your hands are not tied hard and manages to break free")
time.sleep(1)
print("and you see a piece of paper with your adress in it on the armrest in the middle of the front seats")
time.sleep(1)
print(" you see a crowbar under the back seat ")
time.sleep(1)
print("CHOOSE WISELY")
time.sleep(1)
print("""
1)grab the crowbar
2)check to see if the door was open""")
def car():
if choise1 == 1:
crowbar()
elif choise1 == 2:
door()
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
intro(name)
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car()

you can use function with parameter in this example (x )
def car(x):
if x == 1:
print("crowbar()")
elif x == 2:
print("door()")
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
print("intro(name)")
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car(choise1)

How can I return my code to the start of the code?

I've been trying to return my code to the beginning after the player chooses 'yes' when asked to restart the game. How do I make the game restart?
I've tried as many solutions as possible and have ended up with this code. Including continue, break, and several other obvious options.

I want for my code to restart completely when 'yes' is typed after given the option.

In general, if you want to be able to 'go back to the beginning' of something, you want to have a loop that contains everything. Like
while True:
""" game code """
That would basically repeat your entire game over and over. If you want it to end by default, and only restart in certain situations, you would do
while True:
""" game code """
if your_restart_condition:
continue # This will restart the loop
if your_exit_condition:
break # This will break the loop, i.e. exit the game and prevent restart
""" more game code """
break # This will break the loop if it gets to the end
To make things a little easier, you could make use of exceptions. Raise a RestartException whenever you want to restart the loop, even from within one of your functions. Or raise an ExitException when you want to exit the loop.
class RestartException(Exception):
pass
class ExitException(Exception):
pass
while True:
try:
""" game code """
except RestartException:
continue
except ExitException:
break
break

You have two main options.
First option: make a main function that, when called, executes your script once. Then, for the actual execution of the code, do this:
while True:
main()
if input("Would you like to restart? Type 'y' or 'yes' if so.").lower() not in ['y', 'yes']:
break
Second, less compatible option: use os or subprocess to issue a shell command to execute the script again, e.g os.system("python3 filename.py").
EDIT: Despite the fact this is discouraged on SO, I decided to help a friend out and rewrote your script. Please do not ask for this in the future. Here it is:
import time, sys
score = 0

Python Code keeps repeating the Input Value even when I try to "end" the code

Here is my code, if you play it, then you should see what's wrong. I am not for sure how to end the code once the player dies or wins. Play till the ending and look at the code so you can understand what may be the issue.

It would be a huge help if anyone could help, thank you. I am not for sure if it's the input that is the issue or what, but it keeps repeating. You can use pycharm if you have it because that is what works for me, if it does not work in any of the other programs you may use to run python then just try to please use Pycharm because I know it works.

Your end function doesn't actually stop the code execution. what you need to do is this
import sys
#your code
#your code
#your code
def end():
print("Congrats you have either won or failed the game. I hope you enjoyed!")

Still new to python. So confused right now. How do I make this program work?

So I'm making a little game to teach myself how python works, and it's been okay up to this point, but now I'm completely stuck. I'm sure the logic and formatting of the if and while statement are all wrong, so I'd be happy if people could point me in the right direction - again, REALLY new to programming in general. I'll paste the code, then explain what I'm trying to make it do:
import random
import time
print("Welcome to the Dojo!")
print("You have three opponents; they are ready...")
print("Are you?")
print("*To view the rules, type 'rules' ")
print("*To view commands, type 'commands' ")
print("*To begin, type 'start' ")
while True:
userInput = (input())
# Rules
if userInput == "rules":
print("The rules in this Dojo are simple. Kill your opponent! Fight to the death! Show no mercy!")
print("Each opponent gets progressively more difficult, whether it be in terms of health or damage.")
print("To attack, type 'attack'")
print("May the better (luckier) warrior win")
# Commands - to be added
elif userInput == "commands":
print("Commands will be added soon!")
# Start
elif userInput == "start":
damage = random.randint(1, 50)
userHealth = int(100)
opponentHealth = int(100)
print("Your first opponent is Larry Schmidt. Don't sweat it, he'll be a piece of cake.")
time.sleep(3)
print("The battle will begin in")
time.sleep(1)
print("5")
time.sleep(1)
print("4")
time.sleep(1)
print("3")
time.sleep(1)
print("2")
time.sleep(1)
print("1")
time.sleep(1)
print("Fight!")
if userInput == "attack":
int(userHealth - damage)
print("You did %(damage) to Larry!")
# Invalid response
else:
print("Enter a valid response, young grasshopper.")
if userInput == "start" is True:
continue
If you run the program for yourself, everything is okay until you reach the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Fight!" part. Then when you type "attack," it gives you "Enter a valid response, young grasshopper." I understand why this is happening, because "attack" doesn't fall under "rules", "commands", or "start". I just don't get how I'm supposed to format it so that after I enter "attack", it actually proceeds and outputs the damage done, etc. I apologize if this is hard to understand, but I think if you run it for yourself, you'll understand what I'm having problems with. Honestly, something tells me I've messed up the if and while statements up entirely, but hey, I'm learning and having fun :P.
Thanks for any help.

You aren't asking for more input. It's guaranteed that the userInput will still be "start" at that point.
Your code would benefit greatly from the use of functions. You could really organize the code better that way.
def intro():
print("Welcome to the Dojo!")
print("You have three opponents; they are ready...")
print("Are you?")
print("*To view the rules, type 'rules' ")
print("*To view commands, type 'commands' ")
print("*To begin, type 'start' ")
def get_user_input():
user_input = (input())
while user_input not in ['rules', 'commands', 'start']:
print("valid commands are rules, commands and start")
user_input = (input())
return user_input
intro()
returned_user_input = get_user_input()
There are a lot of ways to do these things, and you'll get better with time. Mainly note that user_input only gets updated when you do this:
user_input = (input())
Which in your code was only done once.

The code you have in the "start" branch of the if conditional will only run once, and userInput will still be "start" at that point. The solution, wrap it in a loop. Maybe something like this:
elif userInput == "start":
userHealth = 100
opponentHealth = 100
print("Your first opponent is Larry Schmidt. Don't sweat it, he'll be a piece of cake.")
time.sleep(3)
print("The battle will begin in")
time.sleep(1)
print("5")
time.sleep(1)
print("4")
time.sleep(1)
print("3")
time.sleep(1)
print("2")
time.sleep(1)
print("1")
time.sleep(1)
print("Fight!")
while opponentHealth > 0 and userHealth > 0:
userInput = input()
if userInput == "attack":
damage = random.randint(1, 50)
opponentHealth = opponentHealth - damage
print("You did %d to Larry!" % damage)
The while loop will loop until the opponent has been defeated or until the user is defeated, but at the moment, there's no damage done to the user. I'll leave that part to you.
