I am writing a simple text adventure in python that will eventually have the capability of running other text adventures within it, but my code is all over the place and the UI is terrible. What are your recommendations for improving the UI and cleaning this up
To clarify: I will continue using print statements for the UI, and do not plan on switching to ncurses, etc.
Code is below:
#Import modules

#Take Username Input
username = input('Username: ')
#Load savefile
try:

data = pickle.load(f)
