Please help me finish my project. I am a novice and completely new to python and hopelessly lost. I hope somebody will be able to help me. Here is my problem, I am working on a project for class and I am stuck. My program is supposed to be simple, yet I find nothing remaining to be done a simple matter, my loops are infinite and my input validation is shot. My program ask the user to make some choices and should tally the score and print out a rating based on the accumulated score, it then should ask whether the user would like to play again or not. There are six main scenarios for the user to traverse through their choices and I would like for the program not to repeat any of the scenarios on a single play through. Here is my code, please help! all advice is appreciated.
