I really apologize for all these posts, but I'm trying to get a handle on this, and I'm not finding what I need on Google. What sort of syntax do I need to use to get the clock to handle all of this for me? I tried using pygame.clock.tick with no parameters, and my CPU useage jumped 30%. I tried just instantiating the clock and got the same result. The only thing that kept the CPU useage minimal was to throw in a pygame.time.wait(10) at the end of each iteration of the event loop. If clock can force my program to run at a desired speed, how do I program it to do so? Do I use clock.tick at a certain framerate, for instance? Thanks, really, for all the help. Best, Ryan
