Re: [pygame] App stops responding when minimized

[psymaster@caths.co.uk]

I tried creating a new event with id USEREVENT, and set a timer of 1000 ms.

I had problems with getting QUIT events to exit though. Anyway, the
problem is still there, once the window is minimized it stops responding
(most of the times) and I can't select anything from the taskbar either.

I had once coded a simple game in pygame and an image viewer, and I
remember having the same problem, but I fixed it by running the game at a
set number of fps (for the game)or using event.wait() (for the image
viewer). I can't seem to be able to do the same here. Maybe it has to do
with the fact that I load one image file (sometimes bigger than 500 KB)
every second or so, which needs resizing and blitting as well? I don't
know why pygame effectively crashes my taskbar though.



Anyway, gotta go to sleep now :-)
