Stopwatch in Python

Question

I need a stopwatch for a game I'm trying to make in python but I can't work out how to code this. And help and suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, that was just a demo. The code displays the current time at each loop iteration. The loop itself takes some time tobe processed (loops are *really* slow), this is why you get fractions of seconds piling up.

In a game you probably need to take time.time(), constantly checking the current time and increasing a stopwatch indicator as soon as the time difference exceeds one second.

Answer 2

You can use 'time' module:

Answer 3

import time
seconds=0
while True:
time.sleep(1)
seconds+=1
print(seconds, end='\r')

Answer 4

Kuba Siekierzyński thanks for your help, only, when i change it to 30 seconds it outputs this:
0.0
1.0
All the way to 10.0 as it should
11.1
12.1
13.1
All the way to 29.1

Answer 5

Kuba Siekierzyński thanks, i just changed the 1f at the end to 0f to make it return an integer, then realised i could just remove the print so no one would know. It is only a 3 minute timer so shouldn't make a difference. Thanks for your help
