python - While loop ignores print? -

ok im working on basic dice game, when gets while loop doesnt print message inside, message placeholder.

    dicenumber = none     numberchoice = none     ready = none     test = "lol"      class playerclass():         points = 0       class enemyclass():         point = 0       def rolldice():         dicenumber = dicenumber.randint(1,9)      def start():         print("hello welcome dice game.")         print("the goal of game guess number dice land on.")         print("the option 1 6 , game won getting 3 points.")         print()         print("are ready play?")         print("1 - yes")         print("2 - no")         ready = int(input())        start()      while ready == 1:         print("hello") 

use global inside start function. also, trying put while ready==1, in infinite loop!

dicenumber = none numberchoice = none ready = none test = "lol"  class playerclass():         points = 0   class enemyclass():         point = 0   def rolldice():         dicenumber = dicenumber.randint(1,9)  def start():         global ready         print("hello welcome dice game.")         print("the goal of game guess number dice land on.")         print("the option 1 6 , game won getting 3 points.")         print()         print("are ready play?")         print("1 - yes")         print("2 - no")         ready = int(input())    start()  while ready == 1:         print("hello")
