[pygame] my naive interactive pygame

["Lee Harr" <missive@hotmail.com>]

Hi;

I found a way to make the pygame screen refresh during an interactive
session using a thread.  This is probably horribly broken in some way,
but it works for me  :o)


# interactive_pygame.py
import threading
import time
import pygame

# this is pygsear.examples.penguin
from penguin import *

class PWorker(threading.Thread):
   def __init__(self, pygame):
       self.pygame = pygame
       self.done = 0
       threading.Thread.__init__(self)

   def run(self):
       while not self.done:
           self.pygame.display.update()
           time.sleep(1)

   def stop(self):
       self.done = 1

pw = PWorker(pygame)
pw.start()

def killpw():
   pw.stop()

import atexit
atexit.register(killpw)
