Hi all, I am still new at corona but here is what I was trying to do.
When I hit restartBtn, it runs a code that brings me to “restart.lua,” which loops me back to my “sprint.lua”(game level.)
It works the first time, however on the refresh the restartBtn does not work anymore. It will reset the score to zero, but it wont refresh the screen.
for testing purposes, I want the restartBtn so that I don’t have to restart the whole game.
time for some code…

I have been playing around with it, because I still don’t quite understand how I should organize my code… Hopefully someone here could help me out a little
