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.

the input is not working in the second time

when an invalid answer (a number higher than 2) is given and is sent back to the intro(name) (see the else statement at the bottom) which is the introduction, the choise1 is auto completed and is redirected to crowbar()
def intro(name):#added the whole code
print( name + " you are in a back of a car hands tied, you can't remember anything apart the cheesy pizza you had for breakfast")
time.sleep(1)
print("you can see 2 men outside the car chilling out, they haven't seen that you have waken up")

time.sleep(1)
print("and you see a piece of paper with your adress in it on the armrest in the middle of the front seats")
time.sleep(1)
print(" you see a crowbar under the back seat ")
time.sleep(1)
print("CHOOSE WISELY")
time.sleep(1)
print("""
1)grab the crowbar
2)check to see if the door was open""")
def car():
if choise1 == 1:
crowbar()
elif choise1 == 2:
door()
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
intro(name)
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car()

you can use function with parameter in this example (x )
def car(x):
if x == 1:
print("crowbar()")
elif x == 2:
print("door()")
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
print("intro(name)")
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car(choise1)

How to add input into a text based program

I created a text based RPG using Python. At the moment when you execute the program it brings you through an introduction and at the end of it i have the user decide to go 1.Left 2. Right 3. Middle. Each place has a unique item needed to complete the game, meaning if you go to the right it will see if you have a specific item appended to your bag. If you do not have it you will return to the main part to decide where to go again. That being said the middle is the main part where i want the user to be able to attack a dragon right away so they can lose, or if prepared with the necessary items appended, win! Now you do not have the option to attack, you just get to the dragon and win, so there is no lose. Any tips of how to incorporate an input throughout the game would be helpful. If more information is needed i can gladly share :).
I tried implementing an input before attacking the dragon but it got caught inside the loop so even when you obtained all the items you would get returned to the main dungeon. Here is a snippet code for the final dungeon for an idea.
def valid_input(prompt, option1, option2):
while True:
response = input(prompt).lower()
if option1 in response:
print_pause("You use the " + str(Weapon) + " against the dragon")
print_pause("But it is not strong enough "
"to defeat the dragon, he uses Fire Breath"
" and, he incinerates you! ")
print_pause("You lose!")
play_again()
break
elif option2 in response:
print_pause("Smart Choice! You head back to the main dungeon")
dungeon_game()
break
else:
print("Sorry, try again")
return response
def middle_dungeon():
print_pause("You go to the middle dungeon.")
print_pause("After a few moments,"
" you find yourself in front of a " + Dragon + "!")
print_pause("This is why you need these magical powers.")
if "MagicRune" in bag:
print_pause("Luckily the Wizard trained you well, you now obtain "
" the power of the " + str(MagicRune) + "!")
print_pause("You attack the dragon! ")
if "MagicRune" not in bag:
print_pause("You do not obtain the necessary magical powers.")
print_pause("It looks like you need a scroll or more power!.")
print_pause("You head back to the main dungeon.")
dungeon_game()
dragon_health = 100
count = 0
while dragon_health > 0:
damage_by_player = random.randint(0, 60)
print_pause(f"You hit the dragon and caused {damage_by_player} damage")
dragon_health = dragon_health - damage_by_player
print_pause(f"dragon health is now {dragon_health}")
count = count + 1
print_pause(f"You successfully defeated the dragon in {count} attempts, you win!")
play_again()
def dungeon_game():
passage = ''
if 'started' not in Dungeon:
display_intro()
Dungeon.append('started')
while passage != '1' and passage != '2' and passage != '3':
passage = input("1. Left\n"
"2. Right\n"
"3. Middle\n")
if passage == '1':
left_dungeon()
elif passage == '2':
right_dungeon()
elif passage == '3':
middle_dungeon()
dungeon_game()
So essentially this output will deny you until you go to the left dungeon and right dungeon, where you see MagicRune in bag: this will let you go to the dragon while loop and win the game.

You need to rearrange your code a bit. Here's how you could change your input function:
def valid_input(prompt, option1, option2):
while True:
response = input(prompt).lower()
if option1 in response:
return option1
elif option2 in response:
return option2
else:
print("Sorry, try again")
Now it returns the option the user chose and lets the calling code determine what to do with that information. This makes it actually reusable. You'd call it like this:
chosen = valid_input("Wanna attack the dragon?", "yes", "no")
if chosen == "yes":
# do that stuff
else:
# do other stuff
You also have another problem that you really need to fix: you are treating function calls like goto statements. This will cause you pain when you're trying to debug your code, and also causes hard-to-track bugs.
For example, you should not call play_again() to restart your code. Instead, set up your code structure so that you don't have to do that. E.g.
def dungeon_game():
while True:
# set up initial game state here, e.g.
bag = ["sword", "potion"]
# call main game logic function
dungeon()
# that function returned, so the game is over.
want_to_play = input("play again?")
if want_to_play == "no":
# if we don't break, the While loop will start the game again
break
def dungeon():
# blah blah dragon attack
if (whatever):
print("You got killed. Game over.")
return # goes back to dungeon_game()
else:
print("You won the fight")
# code for the next thing that happens...
if __name__ == "__main__":
dungeon_game()

Python Code keeps repeating the Input Value even when I try to "end" the code

Here is my code, if you play it, then you should see what's wrong. I am not for sure how to end the code once the player dies or wins. Play till the ending and look at the code so you can understand what may be the issue.

It would be a huge help if anyone could help, thank you. I am not for sure if it's the input that is the issue or what, but it keeps repeating. You can use pycharm if you have it because that is what works for me, if it does not work in any of the other programs you may use to run python then just try to please use Pycharm because I know it works.

Your end function doesn't actually stop the code execution. what you need to do is this
import sys
#your code
#your code
#your code
def end():
print("Congrats you have either won or failed the game. I hope you enjoyed!")
print(" ")
print("Ignore the statement underneath, the code is being an idiot")

Excuse my terrible Coding, this is my first project and I am surprised it works in the first place.
Also this is my first post on stack overflow.
My problem is this code worked perfectly did everything I needed it to, but then when I went to add some more detail to it, I decided to do that later and deleted everything I "added" now the code doesn't run anything but the first part before def choose_room():
No error message appears when I run it, it just does the first part then ignores the bit at "def choose_room():" completely.
Well that's all I can think of to add that might help find the cause. Next time I will make a copy of the file before changing anything so this doesn't happen again.
If nobody can find what the problem is, I will just try to remake the program from scratch again.

In Python, indentation is part of the syntax, so if you have things improperly indented your code won't behave as you would expect it to.
Corrected indentation:

You defined the function choose_room() but never used/called it. It would go something like this.
#...
if inp == "enter":
print(" You push with all your might on the large gates, it swings open with a loud clunk.")
choose_room()
#...
Make sure to define the function before calling it. Place the def choose_room():... on top of the script or before actually choose_room
