How to ask someone if they want to play again

Question

I don't know how to ask the user if they want to play again and how to make it if they say y it loops back to the start or n and the game exits. I know I could use a loop but I have no idea how to use them.

import random

xp = 0

level = 1

player1 = raw_input("player1 enter name")

enemyhealth = 100

playerhealth = 100

stage2 = "false"

difficulty = raw_input("choose difficulty, rookie,pro,master,legend or god")

if difficulty == "rookie":

    enemyhealth = enemyhealth - 15

if difficulty == "pro":

    enemyhealth = enemyhealth + 10

if difficulty == "master":

    enemyhealth = enemyhealth + 35

if difficulty == "legend":

    enemyhealth = enemyhealth + 40

if difficulty == "god":

    enemyhealth = enemyhealth + 60                                                            

print ("A quick tutorial: Make sure you type you actions with no spaces,  heres a list of the moves you can perform")

print ("Punch: A simple attack that has a short range of damage but is reliable.")

print ("flyingkick: not 100 percent reliable but if pulled off correctly can deal good damage.")

print ("uppercut: A somewhat reliable move that deals decent damage.")

print ("kick: A simple attack that has a short range of damage but is reliable.")

print ("stab: can be very powerful or deal next to no damage.")

print ("shoot: deadly if it hits, less so if you miss.")

print ("A man in the street starts a fight with you, beat him!")

*"please dont say wrap the code in a while loop because i have no idea what that means lol, thanks, and dont down vote please lol"* - good grief. Why don't you **learn about `while` loops**, then, and write like an adult? — jonrsharpe, Feb 20 '16 at 11:12

Waht I suggest you is: Read python documentation and functional programming. after that you can use this method in order to get you ideal results...

You can inspire from that:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import random

def play_game():
    print ' I am playing...' #Put your code here

def repeat(answer):
    if answer == 'y':
        print ' Good...'
        play_game()
    elif answer == 'n':
        print ' Exitting...'
        sys.exit()
    else:
        print ' Invalid choice!'
        return 'continue'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        play_game()
        while True:
            answer = raw_input(' Do you want to play again? [y/n]')
            ans = repeat(answer)
            if ans == 'continue':
                continue
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print '\n Ctrl+c signal recieved!'
        sys.exit()

This asks you if you want to play again before you have played it the first time. – zondo Feb 20 '16 at 11:43
I would suggest that you define `repeat()` to take a prompt for an argument and have *it* ask the question. You could then put a `while` loop in your `repeat()` function that will ask `[y/n]` if the answer was not valid. It should keep asking until it gets a valid answer, and then return a boolean signifying the response. In your `try` block, then, you could say `while True:` `play_game()` `if not repeat("Do you want to play again? [y/n]"): sys.exit()`. But it's just a suggestion. – zondo Feb 20 '16 at 12:14
No problem... This is also possible I tried to just try this way... Thank you/// – MLSC Feb 20 '16 at 12:16
