Welcome to Camel!
You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.


    A. Drink from your canteen.
    B. Ahead at moderate speed.
    C. Ahead full speed.
    D. Stop for the night.
    E. Status check
    Q. Quit.

Your choice? D
Your camel feels refreshed and happy his fatigue is now  0

1. This

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
   The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.""")
   print()
   

   can be written as

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
   The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.\n""")
   

   Similarly,

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.""")
   print()
   

   can be written as

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.\n""")
   

   thereby eliminating the need for a seperate print().

2. You can eliminate the need for a Done variable by using an infinite loop

   while True:
   

   and replacing every Done = True with break. This will also eliminate the need for using and not done in some of the conditions.

3. Instead of doing stuff like

   camelFatigue *= 0
   thirst *= 0
   

   You can use

   camelFatigue = thirst = 0
   

4. You have

   if userInput.lower() == "q":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "e":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "d":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "c":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "b":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "a":
       # ...
   

   You should also have an else printing an error message in case the user enters something invalid. Like so:

   if userInput.lower() == "q":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "e":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "d":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "c":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "b":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "a":
       # ...
   else:
       print("Invalid input; Try again") # Print error message
   

1. This

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
   The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.""")
   print()
   

   can be written as

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
   The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.\n""")
   

   Similarly,

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.""")
   print()
   

   can be written as

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.\n""")

   camelFatigue *= 0
   thirst *= 0

   camelFatigue = thirst = 0

   if userInput.lower() == "q":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "e":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "d":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "c":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "b":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "a":
       # ...

   elif userInput.lower() == "b":
       # ...
   elif userInput.lower() == "a":
       # ...
   else:
       print("Invalid input; Try again") # Print error message
   

5. You can also print how much thirsty you are when the user selects "E"(status check)

1. This

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.
   The natives want their camel back and are chasing you down! Survive your desert trek and out run the natives.""")
   print()

   print("Welcome to Camel!")
   print("""You have stolen a camel to make your way across the great Mobi desert.

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.""")
   print()
   

   can be written as

   print("""
   A. Drink from your canteen.
   B. Ahead at moderate speed.
   C. Ahead full speed.
   D. Stop for the night.
   E. Status check
   Q. Quit.\n""")
