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)

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.

I would like a few pointers for a program I'm trying to create in Python 3.3.3

So far, I've had a few bumps in the road, but I've been able to correct them, though my programming is quite sloppy as I've just started Python. The idea is to create a dice game called "Pig." The idea is that a user can roll or hold each turn and each subsequent roll adds to the players pot, though if you roll a 1 it's a bust and your pot is reset. Here is my program so far:
import random
die = random.randint(1,6)
R = (die)
r = (die)
H = (0)
h = (0)
User_Score = 0
Computer_Score = 0
pot1 = 0
pot2 = 0
User = input('Hello! Enter your name:')
Computer = 'AI'
if roll_again is 1:
return take_turn(User)
elif roll_again is 0:
take_turn(Computer)
print (User,"'s pot: ",pot1)
print (Computer,"'s pot: ",pot2)
if pot1 >= 50:
User_Score += 1
if pot2 >= 50:
Computer_Score += 1
def roll_die(random):
numbers = [0]*6
for n in range (1,6):
die = random.randint (1,6)
numbers = n
return numbers
def take_turn(User):
print ("It is your turn",User, input("Hit Enter to continue.")
if input == True
(roll_die(random))
if die == int(1)
(pot1) is 0 and print("Die: 1 Pot: Bust! 0")
else:
print ("Die:",die, "Pot:",pot1)
(pot1) =+ die
(R,r,H,h) is raw_input ("(R)oll again or (H)old?")
if input is(R,r)
(roll_again) is 1
else input is (H,h)
(roll_again) is 0
print (User,"'s pot: ",pot1)
print (Computer,"'s pot: ",pot2)
else
return take_turn(User)
take_turn(User)
take_turn(Computer)
I seem to have a syntax error around the line 40 (I'm not sure exactly which line). Which is "if die == int(1)". I'm sure there are plenty of errors after that which I can solve on my own time, but getting past this roadblock would really be helpful! Thanks in advance.

There is no closing parenthesis at the end of line 38.
print ("It is your turn",User, input("Hit Enter to continue.")
This might be the error

How to restart a simple coin tossing game

I am using python 2.6.6
I am simply trying to restart the program based on user input from the very beginning.
thanks
import random
import time
print "You may press q to quit at any time"
print "You have an amount chances"
guess = 5
while True:
chance = random.choice(['heads','tails'])
person = raw_input(" heads or tails: ")
print "*You have fliped the coin"
time.sleep(1)
if person == 'q':
print " Nooo!"
if person == 'q':
break
if person == chance:
print "correct"
elif person != chance:
print "Incorrect"
guess -=1
if guess == 0:
a = raw_input(" Play again? ")
if a == 'n':
break
if a == 'y':
continue
#Figure out how to restart program
I am confused about the continue statement.
Because if I use continue I never get the option of "play again" after the first time I enter 'y'.

Use a continue statement at the point which you want the loop to be restarted. Like you are using break for breaking from the loop, the continue statement will restart the loop.
Not based on your question, but how to use continue:
while True:
choice = raw_input('What do you want? ')
if choice == 'restart':
continue
else:
break
print 'Break!'
Also:
choice = 'restart';
while choice == 'restart':
choice = raw_input('What do you want? ')
print 'Break!'
Output :
What do you want? restart
What do you want? break
Break!

I recommend:
Factoring your code into functions; it makes it a lot more readable
Using helpful variable names
Not consuming your constants (after the first time through your code, how do you know how many guesses to start with?)
.
import random
import time
GUESSES = 5
def playGame():
remaining = GUESSES
correct = 0
while remaining>0:
hiddenValue = random.choice(('heads','tails'))
person = raw_input('Heads or Tails?').lower()
if person in ('q','quit','e','exit','bye'):
print('Quitter!')
break
elif hiddenValue=='heads' and person in ('h','head','heads'):
print('Correct!')
correct += 1
elif hiddenValue=='tails' and person in ('t','tail','tails'):
print('Correct!')
correct += 1
else:
print('Nope, sorry...')
remaining -= 1
print('You got {0} correct (out of {1})\n'.format(correct, correct+GUESSES-remaining))
def main():
print("You may press q to quit at any time")
print("You have {0} chances".format(GUESSES))
while True:
playGame()
again = raw_input('Play again? (Y/n)').lower()
if again in ('n','no','q','quit','e','exit','bye'):
break

You need to use random.seed to initialize the random number generator. If you call it with the same value each time, the values from random.choice will repeat themselves.

After you enter 'y', guess == 0 will never be True.
