Hey!
 
My name is Richard 
Carlsen. I am trying to create a program/game with the following 
plot/requirement in Python (a basic river-crossing game). I have just begun 
programming and have read a basics book on Python, but av having problems 
getting started with this. I would very much appreciate some help or guidance as 
to what do to with this and how to start (my email is samba25062000 at hotmail.com). If 
anybody has the time or energy to aid me with this it would be really great if 
you could email the reponse to me. Thank you! ;)
 
The following 
statements describe the basic 
game requirements for the 
program:
 
Basic game plot: 

 
-A river divides to 
groups of people.
 
-On one side of the 
river(shore 1) is a group of atheists(A) and their 
leader(L).
 
-On the other 
side(shore 2) is a group of religious people(R) and their 
priest(P).
 
-The object of the 
game is to help the atheists and religious people get
 across to the other 
side of the river, in other words, switch shores. If
 this occurs, the game 
will be won.
 
-At their disposal 
is a boat which they may share in order to get across.
 
-There are a few 
catches however: 1) Only the priest and leader are capable of handling the 
boat.Therefore,
                                     either L or P must be in 
the boat for it to travel between the shores. 

                                  2) The Boat only has a certain capacity it 
can hold(C).
                                  3) There cannot be more of one 
party on one side of the river than the 
counterparty
                                     or the game will be lost. 
For example, if there are more religious people 
than
                                     atheists on the same side, the 
atheists will be converted and the game is lost.
-The following also apply: 
1) A >= 1
                           2) R >= 
1
                           3) 2 <= C <= 
min(A+1,R+1)
