How would one plan for creating a game (text based game)

I want to create a text based RPG game (with battle scenes, rooms and interaction with entities)but I'm not clear on where/how to start with the task

Easy man, just give choices, take input, use if else statements and make sure to add try and except blocks because its hard to get people to play a text based game the way you want them too haha

Use pygame! But the problem is that SoloLearn doesn't support it as it is a GUI feature of python!! Pygame library is very easy to use especially with OOP! I can give you some ideas of some projects if you want

Namit Jain, nah I want to create a game based on text only, no Graphics involved. Do you have tips on how to break up the task of making a game, I'm trying to avoid starting the project with out a plan.

ElLoko 233 never heard of text based games. But you can make guessing games also like guess the word or number etc etc etc
