ImageGrab() FYI). You're referring to PIL's ImageGrab(), innit? In my
experience, I couldn't even get PIL to grab a large image more than once
every second or so, but that's probably due to my low-spec machine.
I've had good experience with a simple time.wait(DELAY - time_elapsed)
loop in smoothing out my main loop. I'm not really sure how precise it
is, but someone on the list dropped figures like 10% s.d., so that's
about 100 ms +/- if I understand correctly. That might be "close enough
for funk."
As for ImageGrab, why not instead do:
new_surface = pygame.surface.Surface(SCREEN_SIZE)
new_surface.blit( the_screen, (0,0) )
Which copies the current contents of the screen to the new_surface.
