add a stopwatch to a game in pygame
i want to add a stopwatch in my pygame. I am planning to modify this code and add in my pygame:
Sec += 1
print(str(Min) + " Mins " + str(Sec) + " Sec ")
if Sec == 60:
Sec = 0
Min += 1
print(str(Min) + " Minute")
Should i add a timer box in my def init part and create a new def for the timer code? I want to have the timer without using the code tick since my game is running clock.tick(60) so it does not effect the tick

You can use for example pygame.time.get_ticks()
to get the number of milliseconds since pygame.init()
was called, and then use simple division to get the seconds and minutes etc from that number.
Here's a simple example:
import pygame
import pygame.freetype
def main():
pygame.init()
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
clock=pygame.time.Clock()
font=pygame.freetype.SysFont(None, 34)
font.origin=True
while True:
for e in pygame.event.get():
if e.type == pygame.QUIT: return
screen.fill(pygame.Color('grey12'))
ticks=pygame.time.get_ticks()
millis=ticks%1000
seconds=int(ticks/1000 % 60)
minutes=int(ticks/60000 % 24)
out='{minutes:02d}:{seconds:02d}:{millis}'.format(minutes=minutes, millis=millis, seconds=seconds)
font.render_to(screen, (100, 100), out, pygame.Color('dodgerblue'))
pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(60)
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
If you want to have your stopwatch "to start later", you could store the output of pygame.time.get_ticks()
at this moment and simply substract it from the result of further calls (something like starttime=pygame.time.get_ticks()
and ticks=pygame.time.get_ticks()-starttime
later in the loop, you'll get the idea).
so where should i add this code to my game so the timer will also display on the game?

The easiest way would be to just put the relevant code into your main loop. Maybe create a simple function for it and call it in your main loop.

If your game is running on while loop, with fps of 60, you can get minutes and seconds by doing so:
frame_count = 0
frame_rate = 60
... while block of game running 60 fps
# Every second passes 60 frames, so you get seconds by dividing
# by 60
seconds = total_seconds // 60
# Because 1 second is 60 frames, minute is 60 seconds * 60 frames.
# So you divide by 60 * 60 = 3600
minutes = total_seconds // 3600 # Because every second is 60 fps
output_string = "Time: {0:02}:{1:02}".format(minutes, seconds)
frame_count += 1
I found this solution here

but my game is running clock.tick(60), if i use the above code it will mess up my game speed. Is it possible to make a stopwatch without using tick?

You don't have to use clock.tick, but you need frame_rate when you render your game.

If your game is running on while loop, with fps of 60, you can get minutes and seconds by doing so:
frame_count = 0
frame_rate = 60
... while block of game running 60 fps
# Every second passes 60 frames, so you get seconds by dividing
# by 60
seconds = total_seconds // 60
# Because 1 second is 60 frames, minute is 60 seconds * 60 frames.
# So you divide by 60 * 60 = 3600
minutes = total_seconds // 3600 # Because every second is 60 fps
output_string = "Time: {0:02}:{1:02}".format(minutes, seconds)
