help I'm a noob!

So this is my first time programming with basic, self-taught, and I'm making a Space Invaders-type program. What I would like is for there to be a short intro with a little plotline (which I've already written), and then for the game to start. Unfortunately, the script I have will go through the intro, but then will end once it gets to the game part. There's nothing wrong per se with the script I have, but I think it's missing something to make it work...is there a way to make it reset everything and start with new code (so it forgets all the stuff in the intro after the intro is over, and starts the game)?

Maybe you ought to, if we can't figure this out. What language are you writing this in again? I would expect a normal game to go something like:

main function = {intro(); game-loop(); end()}

The way you're talking about making something recognize that the game should start confuses me.
