menu = { "1": "start_game()" "2": "player_stats()" "3": "high_scores()" "0": "exit_game()" }
So let’s say if user inputs 1 in menu screen, I want to call start_game() function, I know there is other way to do this but just interested in this particular way because I think its neat.

Don’t put strings in the dictionary, put references to the function.
menu = { "1": start_game, "2": player_stats, "3": high_scores, "0": exit_game }
Then you can do:
choice = input("Please enter 1, 2, 3, or 0: ") menu[choice]()
to execute the user’s choice.
