I am (obviously) a novice and having to learn code on the fly for my job. This is a Connect Four game I put together using an online tutorial.
The original game had no restart function, therefore I had to add some code of my own. I'm getting no errors and the actual game works, but isn't restarting.
Fyi, the game is operating from one scene and one frame and there is no code on the main timeline (all in packaged AS files). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
