Sorry, here is a portion of the script which loads a saved state when game
over is triggered. The code in the first post is for when the exe saves but
that portion works fine as intended. This part is where the trouble starts.
# Check whether the game is over or not.
if lives_count <= 0:
lives_count = 0
enemy_count = 0
game_over = True
level = 66
if time_count != str("OUT"):
gameMusic()
bg_img = black_bg
draw_text('GAME OVER', font_s_game_over, white, (screen_width // 2) - 200,
(screen_height // 2) -100)
player.rect.x = (screen_width // 2) - 25
player.rect.y = (screen_height // 2) + 125
player.image = dead_ball_img
exit_level_group.empty()
bricks_group.empty()
brickschange_group.empty()
breakbricks_group.empty()
barbwire_group.empty()
cash_group.empty()
info_ball_group.empty()

if rock_inuse:
level = 64
time_count = int(555)
if card_inuse:
level = 65
time_count = int(777)
if cigs_inuse:
level = 67
time_count = int(666)
draw_text('Need a clue? Click the pack...', font_s, blue, 360, 670)
if gear_inuse:
level = 68
time_count = int(888)
if continue_button.draw():
game_over = False
if check_point == -1:
level = 0
lives_count = 2
cash_count = 0
score_count = 0
elif not check_point == -1:
importlib.reload(savestate)
level = savestate.check_point + 1
score_count = savestate.score_count
gameMusic()
It seems to import the save state (savestate) from the frozen exe instead
of the update as I have stated previously.
