Default Teach me how to code!

Guys, next year one of the classes im taking is Digital Logic, which means coding. Coding with any language you want. Im thinking Python cause people say its easy. Only problem is I dislike looking at tutorials, and un aware of where to begin.

We do ened to make a final project though at the end of the year i think, and so im thinking of something to do.....

One of my friends made a working LAN chat, and one of my friends made a working Internet browser, but i've always been into games, not useful programs, so im thinking a simple game!

From playing Freeway Warrior (well, reading it I guess) I've decided i wanna make a simulation of Post Apocalyptic Texas, where the player is tasked with doing, well, whatever he wants really, but there'd be linear elements, like;

Helping a bus load of survivors reach Big Springs, a haven for people not viced by the wasteland (Good ending)

Helping a Biker gang kill the bus load of people (and getting all the fuel the people had on the bus, thus helping the biker gang reign over the texas wastelands until they run out of fuel)

Barely getting involved (current neutral ending, because i can't think of anything)

Now Im thinking that so far the game would probably consist of a world map and local maps of towns and encounters. Things like ammo and guns would be very sparse (well, maybe. If guns were sparse fuel would be just as sparse, would it no?), because its years after a nuclear war, right? Instead, people still use things like swords, arrows, axes, all that fun stuff, as well as vehicles, and mounts (like horsies, radiated and not radiated)

I'd also kind of like to give the player the ability to create his own ending to the story, like helping out villages, becoming the leader of his own bandit gang, etc

Thats all I got so far. The problem would be actually figuring out how to code it. I know next year and Digital logic are quite a ways away, but I wanna get a head start!
