Hey @BradyLikes welcome to the forums!

Your code doesnt seem to be doing anything. I checked the code and it looks fine.

@BradyLikes you dont seem to ask for an input in the code. Try adding it to see if it works.

But the program takes input if you run the Repl.

@QwertyQwerty88 It seems I was mistaken it does take an input but nothing happens.

Yeah you need to say the same thing multiple times for it to show anything that’s the issue

Welcome to the forums @BradyLikes!

I think I found your problem. Instead of calling an input from the very start, you’re using an if statement to check if the input is the value. If it’s not, it will move on to the next statement and check the input once again.

Old Code 
xp = 0
level = 0

while True:
  xpmax = 100 + level * 20 * (1 + level / 10)
  atk = 5 + (2 * level)
  defense = 1 + (1 * (level / 2))
  hp = 50 + (level * 10 * (1 + level / 10))
  if xp >= xpmax:
    level += 1
    xp = 0
    xpmax = 100 + level * 20 * (1 + level / 
    10)
    atk = 5 + (2 * level)
    defense = 1 + (1 * (level / 2))
    hp = 50 + (level * 10 * (1 + level / 10))
    print("LEVEL UP")
    print("LEVEL = ", level+1)
  if input() == ("add"):
    xp += 10
    print("XP = ", xp)
  elif input() == ("big add"):
    xp += 100
    print("XP = ", xp)
  elif input() == ("check"):
    print("XP = ", xp)
    print("MAX XP = ", xpmax)
    print("LEVEL = ", level+1)
    print("ATK = ", atk)
    print("DEF = ", defense)
    print("HP = ", hp)
New Code

You will probably want to change variable names and ask the user to type something rather than just >>. There is a couple optimizations you should make for your code to look nicer, but this should get the job done.

xp = 0
level = 0

while True:
  xpmax = 100 + level * 20 * (1 + level / 10)
  atk = 5 + (2 * level)
  defense = 1 + (1 * (level / 2))
  hp = 50 + (level * 10 * (1 + level / 10))
  if xp >= xpmax:
    level += 1
    xp = 0
    xpmax = 100 + level * 20 * (1 + level / 
    10)
    atk = 5 + (2 * level)
    defense = 1 + (1 * (level / 2))
    hp = 50 + (level * 10 * (1 + level / 10))
    print("LEVEL UP")
    print("LEVEL = ", level+1)
  option = input(">> ")
  if option == ("add"):
    xp += 10
    print("XP = ", xp)
  elif option == ("big add"):
    xp += 100
    print("XP = ", xp)
  elif option == ("check"):
    print("XP = ", xp)
    print("MAX XP = ", xpmax)
    print("LEVEL = ", level+1)
    print("ATK = ", atk)
    print("DEF = ", defense)
    print("HP = ", hp)

I hope this fixes your issue.
