still tinkering with python

Q: assignment that flips a coin 100 times and gives you the total amount of heads and tails.

A: I started by making it flip a coin 5 times so I could easily watch it working and fix bugs.

I don't think it actually flips the coin exactly 100 times, can you spot the error?

It took me an hour to get it to work:

 

import random
def variables ():
    heads = 0
    tails = 0
    coinCount = 0
    againPlay = "y"
   
def game():
    heads = 0
    tails = 0
    againPlay = "y"
    coinCount = 1
    while coinCount > 0:
        if againPlay != "y":
            print ("you had ", heads, "heads.")
            print (" and ", tails, "tails.")
            end = input ("You're all done now!")
        nmCoin = random.randrange(2)
        if coinCount > 100: againPlay = "n"
        if nmCoin == 1:
           heads = heads + 1
           coinCount = coinCount + 1
        elif nmCoin == 0:
           tails = tails + 1
           coinCount = coinCount + 1
        else:
            print ("you had ", heads, "heads.")
            print (" and ", tails, "tails.")
            end = input ("You're all done now!")
