Re: [pygame] CPU 100%

Thanks, I set the fps to 10. The game still runs correctly with only
5% CPU resource used =D

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

while 1:
    dt = clock.tick(FPS)
    do stuff


Note that on certain platforms if FPS > 42 then you're going to end up with
CPU at 100% anyway since system clocks aren't precise enough. Most games are
fine with an FPS of 30 anyway.
