os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED'] = '1' #called before pygame.init()

screen_width, screen_height = info.current_w, info.current_h

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((screen_width - 10, screen_height - 50))
#main loop
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
enemy_movement()
#map_()
#tower(event)
My code is not running, idk if its my device or code, its that the pygame window is freezing (eg closing the window takes very long)

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

time.sleep(100)

You can't do that.

#

That is telling the OS to ignore your program for 100 seconds, which will cause it to freeze.

then what should i do?

#

When you're creating a UI, you can't use sleep. UI libraries typically supply their own "run this code in the future" functionality.

#

Tkinter has an after method, but I don't know what Pygame's version is.

Oh, here: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/time.html#pygame.time.wait

let me try that'

#

what the diff of delay and wait?

Actually, wait might be wrong. See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18948981/do-something-every-x-milliseconds-in-pygame

Stack Overflow

Do something every x (milli)seconds in pygame

I'm learing Python and Pygame, and my first thing I'm making is a simple Snake game. I'm trying to make it so that the snake moves once every 0.25 seconds. Here is the part of my code that loops:

warm mountain what the diff of delay and wait?

I've never used Pygame. The docs mention the differences though.

oh

#

now i see it

#

ill test it rq

#

@fierce gyro code still freezing

#

def enemy_movement():
global x, y
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255,0,0), (x, y, 50, 50))
pygame.time.delay(10000)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0,0,0),
(x, y, 50, 50))
x += 1
y += 1

Hey @warm mountain!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

Then see the SO post I linked to and this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18839039/how-to-wait-some-time-in-pygame

Stack Overflow

How to wait some time in pygame?

While I've been using time.wait in my code since I began learning Python and Pygame, I've been wondering if there are any other ways to do it and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each

#

The best I can do is link to docs and SO since I've never use Pygame like I mentioned. I just know time.sleep can't be used in applications that use an event loop.
