Help with a really basic indie game!

Hey guys - just wanted to let you know, I'd appreciate it if nobody stole my game idea here, as that would be annoying and quite upsetting seeing as it came completely from my mind and not yours.

Anyways, I need help with a seriously basic game. There's no controlling a player with keys or anything. This will be my first proper indie game developed, I've made others but never published them but I'm planning to publish this one. I'm a teenager starting GCSE computing. We're being taught a coding language called Python. However, I'm planning to release this game, so I don't want people to have to download Python and Pygame just to play it.

The basic idea is you watch a Nyan Cat. For ever 1 minute you get 10 coins, for every click on the nyan cat you get 1 coin. You spend these coins on nyan cats, backgrounds and music. You can share the time you've been watching your cat on social networks. That's the really basic idea, but if it hits quite a success, as it is a popular meme, of course I'll work on improvements.

I'm really new to coding, any help is welcome and will be highly appreciated. If you did help, I'll be sure to add you to credits of game. Thanks! :)

Don't worry about someone stealing your idea, each of us here have our own private lake full of ideas.

But what exactly do you need help with?

Take a look at this faq here.

This reminds me of that cookie clicking game.
A totally unserious game, but still cleary made with an odd form of love for the cookie.

You indeed need to specify what sort of help you're looking for though.
Either way good luck with that goofy cat!

I don't know if this can be considered as help, but you should know that Nyan Cat is copyrighted and the creators have won a lawsuit in the past against Warner Brothers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyan_Cat#Lawsuit

You should ask for permission (and maybe ask a lawyer) if you really plan to make it a big success and if you plan to win some money with it.

any help is welcome and will be highly appreciated. If you did help, I'll be sure to add you to credits of game.

What can I help? Or What kind of help that can I do (if I can)?

Sorry, if I do something wrong (in english, rude maybe, or... or... whatever!) or mistaken something! I just, uh you know, learning!

Thats a great idea, but im gonna steal it now. Thanks.

Lol... Nyan cat is so... 2011... But seriously, a game that is not really a game? Clicking the screen like that is no fun -- unless it is Flappy Bird. Maybe you can make Flappy Bird with your Nyan cat idea. That would be fun. Please don't credit me.

Thats a great idea, but im gonna steal it now. Thanks.

HAHAHAHA I'm laughing my ass of now!
