I am trying to pass a variable to a method, i.e. velocity(decent), and call that method several times in a while-loop.
It seams to not be working and I don't know what is wrong with this.
I want the decent variable to increase up to 250.
I tested the velocity(decent) method outside of the while loop and it worked. Inside the while-loop it just stays 0, while the altitude is decreasing each time it goes though the while loop.
