what should happen is

only the ai has the delay

[stray viper]

do you have a way to check if the player or the ai is playing

[crude oar]

Yes

[stray viper]

of you do you can use and if statement for that

[crude oar]

i called the ai

X

[stray viper]

if ai_is_playing == True:
  time.sleep(1)```

[crude oar]

oh wait

for one of my variable. i put

current_turn = 0

which is the players

variable

so they start first

so if 0 = X

That doesnt make sense

ye

imma make that isplaying variable

wait

ty

thanks for spotting

[stray viper]

if the player start at turn 0 then the ai start at turn 1 right?

you can use if current_turn % 2 == 1: to check if the ai is playing

[crude oar]

WAIT

i fixed it

all i did was

instead of ==

i put

!=

but now the computer doesnt pkY

play

[stray viper]

send you code

[crude oar]

im on phone rn

wait

[crude oar]

its fine

i figured it out

[eager kiln]

generally it's not a good idea to use time.sleep in pygame, as it blocks the entire game
