Python game loop

Question

I've made a simple dice game which works perfectly but i'm trying to give the user the option to play again, the issue i have is when the user types "Y" it prints the original statement and i want to bypass it and just play again, i've included my code to make it easier to understand:
from random import randint

def game():
dice = randint(2, 12)
start_game = False
name = input('What is your name? ')
win = 0
lose = 0

while start_game is False:
print('Hello', name, 'welcome to the dice game, '
'you have 2 dice to roll, 7 or higher you win, 6 or lower you lose, do you want to play?')
answer = str.upper(input('Y/N: '))

if answer == 'Y':
start_game = True
if dice < 7:
print('You rolled', dice, 'you lose!!')
lose += 1
print('Wins: ', win, '\nLosses: ', lose)
again = input('Want to play again? Y/N: ').upper()
if again == 'N':
exit()
elif again == 'Y':
start_game = False
else:
print('You rolled', dice, 'you win!!')
win += 1
print('Wins: ', win, '\nLosses: ', lose)
again = input('Want to play again? Y/N: ').upper()
if again == 'N':
exit()
elif again == 'Y':
start_game = False
elif answer == 'N':
print('Bye!')
exit()
else:
print('Pick again:')

if __name__ == '__main__':
game()

Answer 2

Thanks for tidying my code up and thanks for answering my question I'm pretty new to python and programming in general

Answer 3

In the course of python that I'm following right now I don't learned yet some functions you used, like randint() and str.upper(), I understood their meaning from your code. So thanks for teach me something new in Python!

Answer 4

I'm also new in Python, nevertheless I'd like to simplify things.

So I think: the information about how works the game is better to show just in the first esecution.
Next, in my opinion you have too much "if" nested for no reason.
I tried to make eisier your code in this way:

from random import randint

def game():
dice = randint(2, 12)
start_game = False
name = input('What is your name? ')
win = 0
lose = 0
print('Hello', name, 'welcome to the dice game, '
'you have 2 dice to roll, 7 or higher you win, 6 or lower you lose.')
while start_game is False:
print('Do you want to play?')
answer = str.upper(input('Y/N: '))

if answer == 'Y':
start_game = True
if dice < 7:
print('You rolled', dice, 'you lose!!')
lose += 1
print('Wins: ', win, '\nLosses: ', lose)
start_game = False
else:
print('You rolled', dice, 'you win!!')
win += 1
print('Wins: ', win, '\nLosses: ', lose)
again = input('Want to play again? Y/N: ').upper()
if again == 'N':
exit()
elif again == 'Y':
start_game = False
elif answer == 'N':
print('Bye!')
exit()
else:
print('Pick again:')

if __name__ == '__main__':
game()

Sorry about my english, I'd like to write in english without use a online translator.
