Studying python and in the lesson it says to modify anc change the program. I thought I'd make the game more interactive. I know it requires the program to use inheritance and I've read everything and Ive tried everything. Ive run out of ideas and would appreciate any and all help. trying to make the game loop from the main class to the subclass where the player will fight against the aliens. When I try to make it loop to the submenu I keep getting the following error message.

This is the error I keep getting.
Traceback (most recent call last):

 in <module>
 Game().run()
 line 13, in run
 start = self.Scenes.get(start).enter()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'enter'

This is the program.
It stops right when I try and make it go to the submenu of the game.

Try to replace self.Scenes.get(start).enter() with self.Scenes[start].enter() .

It didn't work. Do you have any other ideas?.

You say it didn't work, but what is the error message ?

When I select to fight the alien I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
line 180, in <module>
Game().run()
line 10, in run
start = self.Scenes[start].enter()
KeyError: <function scene_intro at 0x02C28D30>

At line 127 above, the code returns scene_intro instead of "scene_intro". There is a high probability that this is your bug.

I fixed that error but I still have an error but this time it says...

Traceback (most recent call last):
 line 180, in <module>
    Game().run()
   line 10, in run
    start = self.Scenes[start].enter()
KeyError: None

I know in theory my program would work and I know the problem is something I over looked.

We're going to track the moment where the start variable becomes None. Replace the run() method with this one

    def run(self):
        start="Intro"
        while True:
            next_start = self.Scenes[start].enter()
            if next_start is None:
                raise RuntimeError(('Enter method returned None:', self.Scenes[start].enter))
            else:
                start = next_start

Edit

Now I'm getting this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
line 185, in <module>
    Game().run()
 line 11, in run
    next_start = self.Scenes[start].enter()
