Re: [pygame] the game.Mainloop() myth

[altern <altern2@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi eric

as far as i understand there is no such function in pygame. have you 
checked the docs?
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/event.html

In pygame you create your own loop, check the basic examples included 
with pygame like the chimp example
http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/chimp/ChimpLineByLine.html

this is the main loop in that example

while 1:
    clock.tick(60)

my guess is that you have seen that in someone's code. you can code 
something like this and it should work.


class GameLoop :
	def MainLoop(self) :
		while 1:
    			clock.tick(60)

if __name__ == "__main__":
	gameloop = GameLoop()
	gameloop.Mainloop()

of course you would need to import and init pygame at the top of the 
script...
