You repeat this pattern throughout your program, so it should be made
a function like this:
def ask_question(question):
answer = input(question)
answer = answer.upper()
if answer == "YES" or answer == "NO":
print "...You said %s, you loose!", answer
exit(0) # this will end the program
return # this will get you out of your function
To ask all of your questions, create a list of questions like this:
list_of_questions = ["first question", "second question", etc ... ]
Now do this:
for question in list_of_questions:
ask_question
then finish with what you have below.
