I got my game to work but I when I run it and answer the first question it says Could not save.
Why is my game not saving.
It does create the save game file but it is always empty.
Please Help!!!

You get the exceprion "Could not save!"
in the function run() when you try to do
here:
pickle is a python module and you forgot to import it before usage.

Import the pickle module on beginning of your code for example here
and it will be ok.

Wow, I'm dumb,
I completely overlooked that
Thank you So much
Have a great Day!
