Help!!! Please!!!
im trying to make this game. Its common and its my first project.

Game:

import random
import time

def displayIntro():
print "You are in a land full of dragons."
print "You are exploring and come upon two caves."
print "In one cave, the dragon is friendly."
print "In the other, the dragon will eat you alive"

def chooseCave():
cave = ""
while cave != "1" and cave 1= "2":
cave = raw_input("Which cave will you choose? (1 or 2)")

return cave

def checkCave(chosenCave):
print "You approach the cave slowly..."
time.sleep(3)
print "It is murky and damp."
time.sleep(3)
print "From the shadows darts a dragon, mouth open wide..."
time.sleep(3)

friendlyCave = random.randint(1,2)

if chosenCave == str(friendlyCave):
print "The dragon calms down and gives you treasure. You are flabbergasted and return home."
else:
print "It eats you in one bite"

playAgain = "yes"
while playAgain == "yes" or playAgain == "y":
displayIntro()

caveNumber = chooseCave()

checkCave(caveNumber)

playAgain = raw_input("Do you want to play again? (yes or no)?




it says "SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement."

What do I do?

You really should put your code in code tags, which will preserve the indentation -- very important in Python.

In this case I'll help since the answer did jump out at me in a quick glance at it. This line is likely the problem:

It's hard to tell what exactly is wrong with your code without proper tabbing.

One thing I noticed is that you assign playAgain to "yes" and then immediately after have a while loop if playAgain is set to "yes" or "y". Because of this, your user input at the end of the code will never be used.

The problem Nyktos found certainly is a problem with your code. Another is your unclosed string and right parenthesis, which could be merely a forum copying error since it's at the very end of your program. If you're using python3 there are more problems.

playAgain = raw_input("Do you want to play again? (yes or no)?

I cleaned up the code a bit.. and the import works fine in 2.5.3. HTH a bit.
Here is the current error:
NameError: name 'chosenCave' is not defined

Code:
import random
import time

def displayIntro():
    print "You are in a land full of dragons."
    print "You are exploring and come upon two caves."
    print "In one cave, the dragon is friendly."
    print "In the other, the dragon will eat you alive"

def chooseCave():
    cave = ""
    while cave != "1" and cave != "2":
        cave = raw_input("Which cave will you choose? (1 or 2)")
    return cave

def checkCave(chosenCave):
    print "You approach the cave slowly..."
    time.sleep(3)
    print "It is murky and damp."
    time.sleep(3)
    print "From the shadows darts a dragon, mouth open wide..."
    time.sleep(3)

friendlyCave = random.randint(1,2)

if chosenCave == str(friendlyCave):
    print "The dragon calms down and gives you treasure. You are flabbergasted and return home."
else:
    print "It eats you in one bite"

playAgain = "yes"
while playAgain == "yes" or playAgain == "y":
    displayIntro()

caveNumber = chooseCave()

checkCave(caveNumber)

playAgain = raw_input("Do you want to play again? (yes or no)?")

The error there seems pretty self-explanatory...you reference the name "chosenCave" (specifically, in the first if-statement) but never defined anything by that name.

Agreed. You defined "ChooseCave" but not "ChosenCave", to be specific. I've had the same problem before myself. Good luck!

Error
After the first statement:
import random

there is a red highlight saying "SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement"

Help?

please post the 8 lines of code with "import random" in the middle. For example:

Code:
import random
import time

def displayIntro():
    print "You are in a land full of dragons."
    print "You are exploring and come upon two caves."
    print "In one cave, the dragon is friendly."
    print "In the other, the dragon will eat you alive"

def chooseCave():
    cave = ""
    while cave != "1" and cave != "2":
        # etceteras
