I am new to Python so please explain thoroughly when you respond to me.
I want my code to measure the time the player lasts before his cursor touches the bouncing ball on the screen but the time I'm obtaining is the sum of all the seconds since the first time the command was initialized. I need the program to stop counting seconds when the user ends the game and begin afresh when the play again option is chosen.
I would also like a way to make the player qualify for the next level without using the detection of the position of the mouse since that is making the program code logic incorrect.
here is my code:
import pygame,sys
from pygame.locals import*

def main():
# set up sounds
# import pygame
#gameOverSound = pygame.mixer.Sound('gameover.wav')
#pygame.mixer.music.load('background.mid')
#from pygame import *
#import random
#pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, 16, 2, 4096)
#background = image.load('C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oearth.png')
ballpic = image.load('ball1.png')
ballpic.set_colorkey((0,0,0))
#find a way to include verification of more than one colour key
# to add more than one shape....pending
numballs = 10
delay = 5
done = False
balls = []
stars = []
#generate an if loop for execution of both the parts
k = 2
init()
screen = display.set_mode((640, 480))
display.set_caption('mouse game by shivangi and ananya')
event.set_grab(1)
#pygame.time.Clock() Creates a Clock object (assign this to a name), which you can then call the tick() method on
#to find out how much time has passed since the last time you called tick()
#pygame.time.delay(milliseconds) Pauses game for time specified
#pygame.time.get_ticks() Returns the number of milliseconds passed since pygame.init() was #called

EDIT:
Timer to count seconds.
class Timer():
def __init__(self):
self._start = 0
def start(self):
self._start = pygame.time.get_ticks()
def current(self):
return (pygame.time.get_ticks() - self._start)/1000
Example - how to use:
import pygame
# add class Timer here
pygame.init()
t = Timer()
t.start() # start or restart timer
pygame.time.wait(3000) # for test only
print t.current() # print seconds
pygame.time.wait(2000) # for test only
print t.current() # print seconds
You don't have to stop timer because you can use start() to restart timer.
