How Do You Add A Replay Button To A Game?

Im trying to make a replay button for my game where when you die the game pauses until you press the space bar which resets the game so you can play again. I’m using python with pygame. If you can fix this, please do! It would make my day. If possible, please include the code for the fix and where to put it because I am new to python. The source code below is the game I’m working on.

import pygame
import random
import sys
import time

pygame.init()

WIDTH = 800
HEIGHT = 600

TRASH = (110, 110, 110)

player_pos = [400, 475]
player_size = 50
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

enemy_size = 50

SPEED = 11

FPS = 120

enemy_pos = [random.randint(0, WIDTH - enemy_size), 0]
enemy_list = [enemy_pos]

game_over = False

score = 0

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

myFont = pygame.font.SysFont("monospace", 35)

pygame.display.set_caption('Crab Dodge,  By: ChanceMeteor515')

pygame.mouse.set_visible(0)


def drop_enemies(enemy_list):
    if len(enemy_list) < 9:
        x_pos = random.randint(0, WIDTH - enemy_size)
        y_pos = 10
        enemy_list.append([x_pos, y_pos])


def draw_enemies(enemy_list):
    for enemy_pos in enemy_list:
        pygame.draw.rect(screen, TRASH, (enemy_pos[0], enemy_pos[1], enemy_size, enemy_size))

    for idx, enemy_pos in enumerate(enemy_list):
        if enemy_pos[1] >= 0 and enemy_pos[1] < HEIGHT:
            enemy_pos[1] += SPEED
        else:
            enemy_list.pop(idx)
            score += 1
        return score

        return False

OK, I’ve done what you’ve wanted but it requires Tkinter cause I was a bit lazy.

import pygame

import os
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
print(os.getcwd())

pygame.init()

  player_size = 50
  game_over = False
  screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

  enemy_size = 50

  SPEED = 11

  FPS = 120

  enemy_pos = [random.randint(0, WIDTH - enemy_size), 0]

  score = 0

  myFont = pygame.font.SysFont("monospace", 35)

  pygame.display.set_caption('Crab Dodge,  By: ChanceMeteor515')
