Python - Guessing a number game: no output

Question

What am I doing wrong here? I am trying to build a guessing a number game but not sure why the console doesn't display anything?!

import random

    game_random_number = random.randint(1, 100)
    game_active = True  
    
    
    while game_active:  
      game_start_message = "guess a number between 1 and 100"
      user_guess = int(input()) 
    if user_guess == game_random_number:
      print("You guessed it correctly")
      game_active = False
    elif user_guess < game_random_number:
      print("Too low guess again")
    else:
      print("Too high, guess again")

It works fine with the correct indentation. You otherwise fall in an infinite loop where you do nothing but request user to input a number.

import random

game_random_number = 42 # just for the test
game_active = True  
    
    
while game_active:  
    game_start_message = "guess a number between 1 and 100"
    user_guess = int(input()) 
    if user_guess == game_random_number:
        print("You guessed it correctly")
        game_active = False
    elif user_guess < game_random_number:
        print("Too low guess again")
    else:
        print("Too high, guess again")

example:

1
Too low guess again
2
Too low guess again
50
Too high, guess again
42
You guessed it correctly

NB. game_start_message = "guess a number between 1 and 100" doesn't do anything. Maybe you should rather print this string before the loop?
