Re: [pygame] A way of telling time?

["Joseph Quigley" <cpu.crazy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I just dug fairly deep and discovered pygame.time.set_timer(), but it looks like I can only have 2 events at one time. This might work for the simulation game I'm working on, but yes, I would like to determine the progression of time. Oh, I should probably mention that one of my needs is a countdown timer that starts at 365 seconds and stops at 0.
Thanks for your reply,
Joe

The pygame.time module is probably what you're looking for.
Do you want to wait for a second, or do you want to be able to determine
the progression of time?
Because if the latter, you could probably use the builtin time module.
However, I bet Pygame's waits are more accurate than time.sleep.
