for my school project I am suppose to save some game data or reset into a text file. I have implemented a reset button to reset all the game values into 0, it does writes the values into the text file but as soon as that method ends game returns to the home screen which is not desirable (Suppose to reset the scores and stay in the same scene). Any idea why this is happening ?(I have located the origin of the error in )
