How can I restart my Python Arcade game so that it works properly after game over?

Question

I'm working on a simple platformer game in Arcade with a player and an enemy.

If the player collides with the enemy, I would like the game to start over from scratch.

However, with my current code, I call setup() and the game resets, but I am unable to move my player and the enemy doesn't move either. Please help!

        if len(arcade.check_for_collision_with_list(self.zombie, self.enemies)) > 0:
        self.game_over = True

    if self.game_over:
        self.score = 0
        self.setup()
        self.update()

Answer 1

Did you remember to set self.game_over = False after restarting?

Answer 2

You didn't provide enough information, but the problem should be that some variables didn't reset when you called setup(). So that's what you need to do
