Create a variable from the menu.add.text.input from Pygame (Menu)

Question

Where it says user_input = menu.add.text_input('User: ') or age_input = menu.add.text_input('Age: '), you can write something. I need to assign the words that are written to a variable. How could I do it?

import pygame
import pygame_menu
import random

pygame.init()
#Size - name of the window
surface = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 400))
pygame.display.set_caption("Example")

def game():
    #Variables
    score = 0
    user_age = age_input.get_value()
    user_name = user_input.get_value()
    while True:
        x = random.randint(0, 10)
        y = random.randint(0, 10)
        z = x + y
        print(str(x) + "+" + str(y))
        result = int(input())
        if result == z:
            print("Correct")
            score = score + 5
            
        else:
            if result != z:
                stop = input("Wrong! Wanna stop? ")
                if stop == ("yes"):
                    print("You have " + str(score) + " points")
                    break
                else:
                    continue

menu = pygame_menu.Menu('Menu', 600, 400,
                       theme=pygame_menu.themes.THEME_BLUE)

user_input = menu.add.text_input('User: ')
age_input = menu.add.text_input('Age: ')
menu.add.button('Start', game)
menu.add.button('Exit', pygame_menu.events.EXIT)

print (user_input)
print (age_input)

menu.mainloop(surface)

Couldn't tell you for sure but I think those functions returns the name, so you can do age = menu.add.text_input('Age: ', font_name = font1,font_color = 'Black'). Got that from here — user16038533

Well, at least it doesn't crash. How can I know if it created the variable? — Torchllama

@Torchllama print(age) it will be at least None (or an empty string which is kinda the same you just won't really see that anything has been printed) but if it has some value it will print that value — Matiiss

The print (age) should be printed almost at the end right (right before the menu.mainloop(surface)? — Torchllama

I have tried what you told me @user16038533, but it doesn't print any value. However, now it says <pygame_menu.widgets.widget.textinput.TextInput object at 0x000001C5F7B8CD00>. I don't know what that means. Anyway, is there any other way? — Torchllama

This is how you can retrieve user data just before starting the game:

def start_the_game():
    user_age = age_input.get_value()
    print(user_age)  # to print the value of user_age, only for debugging tho, don't use this when you have finished the game, because user is not really supposed to read the console anyways
    # rest of the game code


age_input = menu.add.text_input('Age: ', font_name = font1,font_color = 'Black')
menu.add.button('Comencem', start_the_game,font_name = font, font_color = 'green')

I have put what you told, me, and there is no crash. However, it still doesn't print anything when I make for example print (age_input). Right before the menu.mainloop(surface).
