Input timeout

Question

I have been given a project to code for a game called "GUESS WHAT" and I am looking for an easy approach to write a code which sets a given time interval to accept the input from the user and if the user fails to give an input then the next question arises with the same process to be carried out...

For example- I SET A TIMER FOR 10 SECONDS. IF THE USER FAILS TO ENTER ANY INPUT...NEXT QUESTION ARISES WHICH PROMPTS FOR ANOTHER INPUT WITH THE TIMER SETTING BACK AGAIN TO 10 SECONDS.

I would be grateful to receive your response....

Answer 1

Interesting question. I have found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15528939/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-3-timed-input and the highest upboted answer (not the accepted one) looks like a neat solution.

Answer 2

Try it in another compiler, because sololearn runs program in less than 5 secs
If your code takes more than 5 secs than you will get: time limit exceeded error
