Hello,

I'm going through a game code written in pygame, the game shows different screens:
- an introduction
- a menu
- and then it enters to different game modes.

For each of these parts there's a different pygame loop, which doesn't seem right.
I would like to know if there's a standard way to use pygame in this scenario.

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

I see no problem with that:

each screen/scene has it own update style.

intro -> stepped script

menu ->  gui events handling

gamescreen -> world simulation dt updating, IO feed player actor

By keeping separate what is different, the code is more clear.

Anyway, in my code usually I group the code related to a screen/scene in an appropriate class, by example 

class LevelPlay(object):

    def __ init__(self,..):

    def start(self):

    def update(self,dt):

    def draw(self)

    ...
