Why doesn't pygame continue through the loop?

Question

I am making a game, and when I want to go through the loop normally, it doesn't work.

it goes through the loop, but for some reason, it backtracks, rather than starting over. When I add a continue statement, the button just disappears.

Why isn't the continue statement working properly?

Here is my code:

import pygame
pygame.init()

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.font.init()
done = False

bro = True
x = 100

y = 100
#button1 = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 0, 255), (200, 200, 30, 30))

    #if check <= pos - (w/2) and check >= 
pygame.display.set_caption("Auto Maze!")
donk = False
while not done:
    for event in pygame.event.get():

        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            done = True

        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            mouse = event.pos
            try:
                assert button1.collidepoint(mouse)
            except AssertionError:
                pass
            except NameError:
                pass
            else:
                donk = True

    pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

    if pressed[pygame.K_w]:
        y -= 5
    elif pressed[pygame.K_s]:
        y += 5
    elif pressed[pygame.K_a]:
        x -= 5
    elif pressed[pygame.K_d]:
        x += 5
    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

    """try:
        assert player.colliderect(wall1)
    except AssertionError:
        pass
    except NameError:
        pass
    else:
        death_screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
        button1 = pygame.draw.rect(death_screen, (0, 0, 255), (200, 200, 30, 30))
        if donk:
            break"""
    player = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 255, 0), (x, y, 60, 60))
    wall1 = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), (300, 0, 100, 300))    


    if player.colliderect(wall1):
        death_screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
        myfont = pygame.font.SysFont("Comic Sans MS", 10)

        button1 = pygame.draw.rect(death_screen, (0, 0, 255), (175, 100, 60, 30))
        text = myfont.render("Try Again", False, (255, 0, 0))

        screen.blit(text, (175, 100))

        if donk:
            screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
    clock.tick(60)
    pygame.display.flip()

Add a gameover to your application:

gameover = False:

Do different things in the application loop, dependent on the state of gameover:

while not done:
    # [...]

    if not gameover:
        # draw game scene
        # [...]

    else:
        # draw gamover scene (button)
        # [...]

Set the gameover state if the player collides:

gameover = player.colliderect(wall1)

Reset the position of the player if the continue button is pressed:

if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
    if gameover:
        if button1.collidepoint(event.pos):
            gameover = False
            x, y = 100, 100

See the example:

import pygame
pygame.init()

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.display.set_caption("Auto Maze!")

pygame.font.init()
myfont = pygame.font.SysFont("Comic Sans MS", 10)

x, y = 100, 100

gameover = False
done = False
while not done:
    for event in pygame.event.get():

        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            done = True

        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            if gameover:
                if button1.collidepoint(event.pos):
                    gameover = False
                    x, y = 100, 100

    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

    if not gameover:
        pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

        if pressed[pygame.K_w]:
            y -= 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_s]:
            y += 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_a]:
            x -= 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_d]:
            x += 5

        player = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 255, 0), (x, y, 60, 60))
        wall1 = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), (300, 0, 100, 300))    
        gameover = player.colliderect(wall1)

    else:

        button1 = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 0, 255), (175, 100, 60, 30))
        text = myfont.render("Try Again", False, (255, 0, 0))
        screen.blit(text, (175, 100))

    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(60)

quit()

This does the same as your code, but just cleaned up. Hopefully it solves your problem

import pygame
pygame.init()

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.font.init()
done = False
mouse = None
click = False
state = "main"
myfont = pygame.font.SysFont("Comic Sans MS", 10)

player = pygame.Rect(100,100,60,60)
wall1 = pygame.Rect(300, 0, 100, 300)
button1 = pygame.Rect(175, 100, 60, 30)

pygame.display.set_caption("Auto Maze!")



while not done:
    click = False
    for event in pygame.event.get():

        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            done = True

        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            mouse = event.pos
            click = True

    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

    if state == "main":

        pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

        if pressed[pygame.K_w]:
            player.y -= 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_s]:
            player.y += 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_a]:
            player.x -= 5
        elif pressed[pygame.K_d]:
            player.x += 5

        #draw player and wall
        pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 255, 0), player)
        pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), wall1)    


        if player.colliderect(wall1):
            state = "death"
    else:

        pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 0, 255), button1)
        text = myfont.render("Try Again", False, (255, 0, 0))

        screen.blit(text, (175, 100))
        if click:
            if button1.collidepoint(mouse):
                state = "main"
                player.x = 100
                player.y = 100

    clock.tick(60)
    pygame.display.flip()

quit()
