True, False and done Why?

I don't understand very clearly the purpose of the "True", "False" and "done" through the refinement process

Done is the variable that indicates that the game is over. So while it has the value of False, the loop keeps going.

When something happens to end the game, "done" is set to "True" so when it gets to the end of the module, it will ask if the user wants to continue, and then either end or start over.

Does that help clear it up?
