def runGame():
    # set up variables for the start of a new game
    invulnerableMode = False  # if the player is invulnerable
    invulnerableStartTime = 0 # time the player became invulnerable
    gameOverMode = False      # if the player has lost
    gameOverStartTime = 0     # time the player lost
    winMode = False           # if the player has won
