Here's what I came up with, though it only asks once question then
quits depending on the answer or lack thereof. And while, yes, you
can't interrupt a raw_input call from a timer, providing for a blank
line (user hitting enter) is a way around it:
import threading import Timer
from random import randrange
import sys
def multiply_game():
a = randrange(1,10)
b = randrange(1,10)
answer = raw_input('what is %s * %s?: ' % (a,b))
if not answer:
return
timer.cancel()
if str(answer) == str(a * b):
print 'right! :D'
else:
print 'wrong :('
def tooslow():
print "\ntoo slow :(\nHit ENTER to quit"
timer = Timer(30, tooslow) # 30 seconds
timer.start()
multiply_game()
