    You don't do this, right?
    Code:
    while(Looping)
    {
       LevelNum = 1;
    
       ... //The rest of the code
    
       LevelNum = 2;
    }


    Other than that, it is hard to guess without some source.

    or perhaps levelnum is a const.

    Are you running into a 'scope' issue, i.e. changing 'levelnum' in a function after declaring it elsewhere, like main()?

    Easy to throw some "test code" in after assigning 'levelnum = 2;'. If the assignment is inside of a 'block', or function, make sure your test code is outside of it.

    Actually, alpha, Salem and Magos all have excellent suggestions. Check the "obvious" first before making this harder than it may be.

    I'm not sure what I did..

    Not sure if I did anything at all but I re-compiled it and it worked fine. Anyways, thanks for the help.
