Role Playing in Python

SCROLL DOWN FOR GAME

Coding and I have always had an "on again, off again" relationship. Recently, I got to learning a new language for fun: python 3.8.

If you don't know, Python is an amazingly easy programming language to learn. However, the drawback of it's ease-of-use is it's speed of execution. Comparative programming languages such as java have been known to perform over 25x faster than python.
This is because java is compiled so it runs very statically, whereas python is interpreting itself as it runs. This makes python a slower, but more dynamic language. That mixed with how quick python apps are to write makes python an ideal language for small actions and anything where light latency isn't an issue.

Python I coded for the role playing text game

All that being said, I used this code to try to make a role laying game!
Below the game is the list of features I have incorporated thus far, with far more to be added soon!
