Somehow it still doesnt work --- it keeps giving the syntaxerror, inconsistent use of tabs and indentation message EVEN though i use only the enter and space buttons and never touched the tab button a single time. Im pretty sure there is something wrong with the program itself. Gonna download pycharm and start testing the programs in it --- heard that it gives a better user experience with indentations
