I'm sure you'll get a lot of helpful advice here. Here's a start: you have a lot of places where you're comparing variables to the capitalized and lower-case versions of the same string. You could halve that number if you converted your input to lowercase first. For example: if menuselection == 'play' or menuselection == 'Play': changes to: if menuselection.lower() == 'play': There are plenty of other string methods you might find useful. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
