Whn RingOfHell is 1 then that condition is false and thus 0 is returned from the function. Though you should use true/false for a function returning bool.

Also please look into maps.

I go past RingOfHell = 0 tho

#4

That’s not mutually exclusive because you call PlayGame in the condition as well as the body of the loop.
When RingOfHell == 2. That’s happening in the body of the loop, when you return false during that it’s not stopping the loop, the returned value ends up being discarded.
