Why colorama make printing slower in python (Thonny)?

It's my RPG assignment for our school. I made an RPG program about an encounter with a Pirate and conversing with him with a guessing game. When I didn't use Colorama, the program runs normal but when using it, it slows down the program when running. I submitted the got 18 or 20 which is not bad, and I suspected it's how my program runs that's why I didn't get the perfect score.
I'm wondering if you guys can help me how to run the program faster when using Colorama? I just really wanted to learn how to solve this kind of issue.

as an error, but I don't understand where the var + int is. I need help.
BTW IM NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS SNAKEY TING

When your code does this
P1R1= random.randint(1,6)
P1R1 is a number between 1 and 6; let's imagine it is 4. But then the code does
P1R1=("Your first roll is",P1R1)
It appears your intent is to print this out as a message. But what it actually does is change the value of P1R1 to the tuple ("Your first roll is",4). Then your code carries on as if P1R1 still had the value 4 because it does addition on it.
If you look at the output of this line:
print("Your total is",P1R1+P1R2)
you will see that it is
Your total is ('Your first roll is', 4, 'Your second roll is', 1)
when it is clear that you are expecting
Your total is 5
It should be easy for you to see why the code goes wrong after that.

hi remove the below lines which are assigning tuple to P1R1 and P2R2
P1R1=("Your first roll is",P1R1)
P2R2=("Your second roll is",P2R2)

Self teaching python. Having trouble with score incrementing after each round

TL:DR Trying to set up a scoring system, it doesn't seem to go up when you get than answer right
As the title says I'm teaching myself python, thus this is only the second code I have written (hints in why I'm learning python). I'm more than happy to take criticism on everything from syntax to how to better comment. With that being said, let's get to my issue.
This is a small guessing game. The book I'm reading taught the "for guessTaken" and subsequent code. My problem is in one small aspect of my code. The scoring system won't increment.
I set up the code in the for loop called games then try to have it display at that start of each round and go up with each correct guess. However, it will display 0 for the first few rounds then it will show 2 ( or whatever your current score is I think...). I think the problem is I'm calling the score +1 int in an if statement but I've moved the code around and can't figure it out.
I am aware that it's not beautiful! There are also a few bugs (number of games played isn't what you enter.)Right now I'm only working on the scoring system.
#this is a guess the number game.
import random
#Get's user's name
print("Hello. Welcome to Print's guessing game. Please enter your name: ")
userName = input()
#askes if they are ready
print("Are you ready to play " + userName + "?")
ready = input().lower()
if ready == 'yes' :
print("Let's get started")
else:
while ready != 'yes':
print("Let me know when you are ready")
ready = input().lower()
#Game start
#number of games
games = int(input("How many games would you like to play?"))
if games >= 1:
print("Let's get started")
for games in range (int(games), 1, -1):
while games != 1:
print("I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20 ")
secretNumber = random.randint(1, 20)
score = 0
print("Current score: " + str(score))
print("Debug: " + str(secretNumber))
for guessTaken in range (7, 1, -1):
print("you have " + str(guessTaken - 1 ) + " guesses left")
guess = int(input())
if guess < secretNumber:
print("Your guess is to low. Please guess again")
elif guess > secretNumber:
print("Your guess is too high. Maybe something a little lower?")
else:
break # This conditon is for the right guess.
if guess == secretNumber:
print("good Job " + userName + "! you guessed the number right!")
score = int(score + 1)
print("your score is " + str(score))
games = int(games - 1)
else:
print("Nope, the number I was thinking of was " + str(secretNumber))
print("you have " + str(games) + " games left")
elif games == 0:
while games == 0:
print("Would you like to exit? Yes or No ")
exit = input().lower()
if exit == 'yes':
quit()
else:
games = int(input("How many games would you like to play?"))
else:
print("wtf")

Your score variable is being initialized to zero every time your code goes through the while loop. If you want it to track the total score for all of the games, initialize it right after your print("Let's get started"). This will reset their score whenever they tell you how many games they want to play.
If you don't want their score to reset until they quit your program, you will have to initialize it at the beginning of your program. Up by your import random would work well.

How can I make the program restart?

There seems to be an error in restarting the program, it does not restart properly. It asks if you want to play again then asks for name of players tells you the goal then restarts by itself.
import random, time
#Variables
die1 = 0
die2 = 0
goal = 0
tries1 = 0
tries2 = 0
sum = 0
sum2 = 0
choice = "y"
while choice == "y":
#Asking for the player's names
player1 = input("What is your name, player1?")
player2 = input("What is your name, player2?")
#The "goal"
goal = random.randrange(5) + 1
print("The goal is:", goal)
#First while loop for the first die rolled by the first player
while die1 != goal:
die1 = random.randrange(5) + 1
time.sleep(1)
print(player1, "Your roll is:", die1)
tries1 = tries1 + 1
sum = sum + die1
time.sleep(1.5)
print("Your sum is:", sum)
#Second while loop for the second die rolled by the second player
while die2 != goal:
die2 = random.randrange(5) + 1
time.sleep(1)
print(player2, "Your roll is:", die2)
tries2 = tries2 + 1
sum2 = sum2 + die2
time.sleep(1.5)
print("Your sum is:", sum2)
time.sleep(2)
#The statement at the end of the game
print("\n\n""Player", "\t\t", "Goal", "\t\t", "# of Rolls","\t\t", "Sum of Rolls", "\n", player1, "\t\t", goal, "\t\t", tries1,"\t\t\t", sum, "\n", player2, "\t\t", goal, "\t\t", tries2, "\t\t\t", sum2)
choice = input("Would you like to play again?: (y) or (n)")
goal = 0
tries1 = 0
tries2 = 0
sum = 0
sum2 = 0
break

It's probably because at the end of the program you are breaking out of the main while loop no matter what. You should surround it with an if statement using the choice variable. Also The Last Statement is inline with the while for when the second player rolls therefore it will be executed in that loop. To fix that you going to need to reduce the indentation so it is executed at the end of the game. Also the tries1 variable is indented out a space so python will probably throw some form of syntax error at that as well.

In place of your break statement, put:
if choice != 'y':
break
This will cause the outer while loop to go back to the beginning if the user has typed 'y'. Otherwise you'll break out of the loop and the script will exit.
Move ALL the variable declarations from die1 through sum2 inside the while loop; otherwise they won't get initialized for the replay.

PYTHON - Reverse Number Guessing Game -

So I've been trying to figure out a way to write a program where the computer tries to guess the number I am thinking of, instead of the other way around where you are guessing a computer's chosen number. It works most of the time however in some situations it does repeat numbers down the chain even though I've told it before that for example the value I am thinking of is higher than '7'. In some cases it also repeats the same number again even though I tell it its higher or lower. If someone more experienced could have a look at this and tell me what am I missing in these loops it would help a great deal.
#computer enters a value x
#lower - computer guesses lower than x
#higher - computer guesses higher than x
#when string "You got it!" - game over
import random
lowBound = 0
highBound = 100
randomNumber = random.randint(lowBound,highBound)
print ("Is it ", randomNumber, " ?")
response = input()
while response != "You got it!":
if response == "higher":
lowBound = randomNumber
randomNumber = random.randint (lowBound, highBound)
print ("Is it ", randomNumber, " ?")
response = input()
elif response == "lower":
highBound = randomNumber
randomNumber = random.randint (lowBound, highBound)
print ("Is it ", randomNumber, " ?")
response = input()
if response == "You got it!":
print ("Woohooo, I'm so bitchin'")

random.randint is inclusive, so:
if response == 'higher':
lowBound = randomNumber + 1
and
if response == 'lower':
highBound = randomNumber - 1
Also, if the user does not enter a valid response, input() will never be called again and the program will hang in an infinite loop.
Something more robust, but doesn't handle liars:
import random
lowBound = 0
highBound = 100
response = ''
randomNumber = random.randint(lowBound,highBound)
while response != "yes":
print ("Is it ", randomNumber, " ?")
response = input()
if response == "higher":
lowBound = randomNumber + 1
randomNumber = random.randint(lowBound,highBound)
elif response == "lower":
highBound = randomNumber - 1
randomNumber = random.randint(lowBound,highBound)
elif response == "yes":
print ("Woohooo, I'm so bitchin'")
break
else:
print ('Huh? "higher", "lower", or "yes" are valid responses.')

random.randint(a, b) returns a number between and including a and b. When generating a new random number you should use random.randint(lowBound+1, highBound-1)

One of your problems, among the others mentioned, is on these lines:
highBound = randomNumber
randomNumber = random.randint (lowBound, highBound)
You're setting a new bound, which is good, but then you're choosing another random number!
What you should be doing, is halving the bound, and asking the user higher or lower from there. Have a look at binary search algorithms.
highBound = randomNumber
randomNumber = randomNumber / 2
Your program is still going to work (with the other changes mentioned here), but this will guess your number quicker most of the time.
There is actually an example of this game on Wikipedia.

Here is my version of this exercise from Michael Dawson's book, I was trying to minimize number of tries, that computer uses. I know code looks dodgy, it is just my 2nd day:)
answer=""
guess=50
counter=3
x=25
print("hi, guess the number from 1 too 100")
input("\n")
print ("i will try to guess it")
print ("is it ", guess, "?")
while answer not in ("y","l","s"):
print ("sorry, i didn't understand \n")
answer=input("type in: (Y) for yes, or (L) if it is to large, or (S) if it is to small:")
if answer in ("s","l"):
while answer!="y":
if answer=="l":
guess=int(guess-x)
print ("how about", guess,"?")
answer=input("\nis it? type in: (Y) for yes, or (L) if it is to large, or (S) if it is to small:")
x=100/2**counter
counter=counter+1
if x<1:
x=1
elif answer=="s":
guess=int(guess+x)
print ("how about", guess,"?")
answer=input("\nis it? type in: (Y) for yes, or (L) if it is to large, or (S) if it is to small:")
x=100/2**counter
counter=counter+1
if x<1:
x=1
elif answer=="y":
break
else:
pass
print("\ngreat! the number that you guessed is", guess)
print("i can read your mind with no guesses!")
input("\n")

You get numbers twice because random.randint's boundaries are inclusive; random.randint(1, 3) can return 1,2, or 3. Note that you should also continue to ask the human if the response is neither "higher", nor "lower" nor "You got it!":
import random
lowBound = 0
highBound = 100
while True:
randomNumber = random.randint(lowBound, highBound)
print ("Is it ", randomNumber, " ?")
response = input()
if response == "higher":
lowBound = randomNumber + 1
elif response == "lower":
highBound = randomNumber - 1
if response == "You got it!":
print ("Woohooo, I'm so bitchin'")
break
