Sorry if my question is silly, but maybe I didn't catch very much some
question about pygame.time module.
I am writing an application which needs to very accurate about timing; it
displays sequentially some images, each one of them remaining on the screen
for a constant time T.
This is a part of the code I wrote to understand how time module works:
*********************************************************************
clock = time.Clock()
while 1:
clock.tick
msec = clock.get_time()
print "1. msec = %i" %msec # these lines has been written just to see
what is returned by get_time()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
exit()
surf.fill((255,255,255,255)) # these lines has been written just to see
what is returned by get_time()
msec = clock.get_time()
print "2. msec = %i" %msec
*********************************************************************
This is the output of th application:
1.msec = 1767859565
2.msec = 1767859565
1.msec = 1767859565
2.msec = 1767859565
1.msec = 1767859565
2.msec = 1767859565
....
My problem is that I cannot understand what type is returned by get.time():
at http://snipurl.com/28h08, it is reported that this method returns an int
at http://snipurl.com/28h0t , it is reported that this method returns
milliseconds.
My other question is: is it possibile to transform milliseconds type into an
int?
I am using Pygame 1.7.1
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me,
Francesco
