While loop works in the strange way!Need help!

Siaubakas (16)
Hey guys, Im new here and i have a "problem" with while loop.
I was writting my first game then i came across a problem which , indeed is very strange.


I have a code which lets to choose from 5 diffrent things.
Second option lets you to buy some fortifications.[War game]
Third option lets you to buy some troops.

I wrote these two options with the same code, using while loop , but strangely third option have messed up.

Principle is what you have a certain amount of money and you can spend it
among nine options.If you spend all your money and writte
" i want to buy again "
Program itself buys the same thing to the point then while loop condition is false,without asking the player if he wants to buy something more or not.

I have identical code with second option , but somehow it works and asks every time the player if he wants to buuy something or not

What i want to do is if the amount of money goes to 0 or to - , it goes to other menu where you dont have this choice ( buy stuff ).Second option ( fortification ) does this thing without a problem.

}




Then you type your choice at the start of the third statement
( Simulation1_time_before_war_option3_UK_buychoice; ) and type the amount;
while loop repeats itself until the point of negative amount and with the same choice ( if you chose 1 then it repeats itself with choice 1 until negative amount )

i would really appreciate if someone could help!!!

First off, the code you posted does not compile.

Line 61: Simulation1_choice_player_state not defined.
Line 62: Missing "
Line 65: Simulation1_time_before_war_option_UK undefined
Several other undefined variables also.

I forgot to tell what my orgiinal code is too long ot post here so i cut it off a little bit and forgot to put alll variables .
Problem is not Missing stuff.
Problem is about the loop.

All the stuff you pointed i have already in my code!
