even after I used += 1 so its like the old copy of the stack before the
jump got pushed back on top and it started over. I don’t understand how
assembly works but I thought it would just start over and the state of the
stack in that function would still be the same as before so I could keep
adding 1 every pass.

Ah, I didn't catch that earlier. Probably "i" is kept in a register due to
optimization. You should check the generated assembler code to be sure.
