I implemented a pause feature in my game in the while loop at the end of my code, but the problem is that only my car sprite pauses. I have tried a bunch of different ways setting up my pause code but none of the ways I arrange it seems to pause the whole game.
I want to be able to pause my whole game when I press the p key on my keyboard, not just my car sprite. Can someone please tell me how I can fix this code? The code that will pause the whole game will be nice. Please, the rearranged code that will pause the whole game will help. Also I don't just want the answer, I want a quick explanation of why only my car sprite would pause instead of the whole game.
