TOTAL beginner help!

I am getting a Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W... I am a student making a project with it... I need some help. The game I am making is basically where one person types in a code, and the other person tries to guess it.. When it is correctly guessed, it will flash some LEDs. There is a time limit of 1.5 minutes... I have no clue on how to code on any programming language, and I barely know how any circuits work... Please do a very simple and detailed answer

Python is probably the best language to start with as it's popular and there's lots of help out there for it. You might want to start reading some of the help on https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/

This sounds a bit like a school project so I doubt anyone will give you a full answer, even if it's not a school project having a full answer doesn't help you learn!

What I would suggest is break it down into small and manageable pieces. Maybe just get an LED blinking or asking one person to input a number, then build up to add more features getting yourself closer to the end goal.

Start with any of the tutorials which show you how to connect a LED and switch it on and off under program control.

Be aware that to connect LEDs to a Zero or ZeroW requires soldering.

Well... Maybe... You can now gets jigs that permit adding headers to a Pi0/Pi0W with a hammer. Also, one of the recently added retailers will sell one a Pi0 or Pi0W with the headers already soldered in place for an extra $6 or $7.

All of that said, I don't consider the Pi0 or Pi0W to be an optimal first Pi to get. Much better to start with a Pi3B and then use a Pi0/Pi0W if that is what a particular project really requires.
