i have a way to set a timer for creating new objects copied from a book but as i have started my next exercise in a very different way, i want to avoid that math method/formula as it will cause me to rearrange some classes totally...
i tried a simple method but its not working. any ideas? heres my code, ill leave out the irrelevant code. class Game(object): interval = 0 def play(self): Game.interval = 40 while Game.interval > 0: self.count_down() def count_down(self): Game.interval -= 1 so the play() method gives interval a value of 40. the while loop should reduce interval by 1 everytime it calls the count_down() method. The problem is this is happening instantly. i've even put the Game.interval value as high as 50000 and it reaches 0 instantly. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
