[pygame] framerate & non-blocking tick()

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

Hi;

Working on the pygsear library (http://www.nongnu.org/pygsear/)
I finally came to the framerate-insensitive light as you all
had recommended. I just have a few questions:

- I still have a lot of code that can be used to move things on
   a per-frame basis, as opposed to moving per-time. Is that
   ever useful? Or should I move to all by time?

- Any use for a non-blocking Clock.tick()? I use it for updating
   a cursor as quickly as possible while still keeping the rest
   of the game going at a reasonable rate, like this:

clock = pygame.time.Clock()
while 1:
   if clock.tock():
       everything.update()
   else:
       cursor.update()


   If that looks useful, I can take a poke at the C code and see
   what I can come up with... ;-)
