I wish to create a simple game of decision making, the game will start in January 1st, 1962, putting you in the feet of John F. Kennedy, and continue to November 22nd, 1963, the day of his assassination. Throughout your 1.5 years of office, you will have important decision sto make, regarding issues at home (rascism, civil rights) and abroad (Vietnam war, the soviet union) as well as face certain crisis' when they arise (Cuban Missile Crisis)

The game can change though, as it will have different prompts. Say you choose to continue with segregation and not let african americans into universities, or say you choose to launch attacks on Cuba during the missile crisis? Your decisions can change things, for better, or for worse. Up the deployment in Vietnam, or lower it. Its up to you; your the leader of the free world!


Anyways. Point is i wanna make this game, a simple game where the problem arises, and you choose options a, b, c, so on so forth to solve the problem. Only problem is, my lack of coding knowledge is lackful, i would like to use Python as i hear its very easy, but cannot find good tutorials at all! Any suggestions?

It seems a good idea for a game. However, if you have no programming knowledge, I recommend you that you don't start by making a game, as simple as it may seem to you. Games are complicated to make, believe me. First you should start with boring, simple programs, before you can start to make a game.
