I have to hit escape to end the game even after I get all the envelopes, any suggestions?

Question

The function checks if the string of envelopes is empty or if the user hits Escape, but it seems to only work with Escape. It will still show the correct win/lose screen based on if the envelopes were collected, but I have to hit "Escape" to get there. I am currently using the .remove for the envelope string.

Answer 1

if your condition for the main while loop running is that there are remaining envelopes, then it will end when they are all caught. so if an envelope is removed from the list when caught, you can use the list of envelopes being empy [ ] as a sentinel condition
