I tried to make a pong game on the turtle extension on Python and everything went smoothly.
I wanted to restart the game when a player reached an certain amount of points. The game restarts properly and the windows clears itself, except from a dark square in the center which stays during the next games. How can I get rid of that square?
Here is the the code where I restart the game:
import turtle
def run_game():
wn = turtle.Screen()
wn.title("Ping Pong Pour le Nuls")
wn.bgcolor("green")
wn.setup(width=800, height=600)
wn.tracer(0)
Player_1 = wn.textinput("Player 1", "Name of the player: ")
Player_2 = wn.textinput("Player 2", "Name of the player: ")
# Score
score_a = 0
score_b = 0
# Paddle A
paddle_a = turtle.Turtle()
paddle_a.speed(0)
paddle_a.shape("square")
paddle_a.color("white")
paddle_a.shapesize(stretch_wid=5, stretch_len=1)
paddle_a.penup()
paddle_a.goto(-350, 0)
# Paddle B
paddle_b = turtle.Turtle()
paddle_b.speed(0)
paddle_b.shape("square")
paddle_b.color("white")
paddle_b.shapesize(stretch_wid=5, stretch_len=1)
paddle_b.penup()
paddle_b.goto(350, 0)
# Ball
ball = turtle.Turtle()
ball.speed(0)
ball.shape("square")
ball.color("white")
ball.penup()
ball.goto(0, 0)
ball.dx = 0.4
ball.dy = -0.4
# Pen
pen = turtle.Turtle()
pen.speed(0)
pen.color("white")
pen.penup()
pen.hideturtle()
pen.goto(0, 260)
pen.write(str(Player_1) + " : 0 " + str(Player_2) + " : 0 ", align="center", font=("Courier", 14, "normal"))
# Funtion
def paddle_a_up():
y = paddle_a.ycor()
y += 20
paddle_a.sety(y)
def paddle_a_down():
y = paddle_a.ycor()
y += -20
paddle_a.sety(y)
def paddle_b_up():
y = paddle_b.ycor()
y += 20
paddle_b.sety(y)
def paddle_b_down():
y = paddle_b.ycor()
y += -20
paddle_b.sety(y)
def pen_2():
pen_2 = turtle.Turtle()
pen_2.speed(0)
pen_2.color("white")
pen_2.penup()
pen_2.hideturtle()
pen_2.goto(0, 0)
pen_2.write("Player 2 Wins", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))
# Keyboard binding

# Main Game Loop
while True:
wn.update()
# Move the ball
ball.setx(ball.xcor() + ball.dx)
ball.sety(ball.ycor() + ball.dy)
# Border checking
if ball.ycor() > 290:
ball.sety(290)
ball.dy *= -1

ball.sety(-290)

Thank you so much for your help and have a great day. Game Output
Here. Instead of using wn.reset(), I used wn.clearscreen(). It did the trick!!
Code:

Player_1 = wn.textinput("Player 1", "Name of the player: ")
Player_2 = wn.textinput("Player 2", "Name of the player: ")
