How to record time?

Question

I’m making my first basic game with the little knowledge I have of python, and want to incorporate a feature that tells the user how much time it took them to complete the game, how would I go about doing this?
Also I’d like to make a time trial mode, is there a way to stop the program as soon as a timer reaches zero?

Answer 1

So I analayzed your code and it just worked finde. The own problem was, you have to take start = time.time() delete it and type it before "while guess != rng" without indentations . Please contact me on solo learn to be little faster. I wanna really help you out

Answer 2

One way is to use perf_counter.
You can see an example for how to set it up in this code (lines 1017 and 1037):

Answer 3

Simple:
import time
Start = time.time()
User = input("")
End = time.time() - Start # difference
print("it took you", end, "seconds to type", User)

Answer 6

William M This works, but it gives me 10+ decimal points when it prints, how can i shorten this to two decimals?

Answer 7

import time
Start = time.time()
User = input("")
End = time.time() - Start # difference
print("it took you", round(End, 2), "seconds to type", User)

Answer 8

Just changed in print (round(End,2)) to round it on two digits after the comma.you can also print it as whole number just delete the 2

Answer 9

William M When i try this, i get an error ‘float’ object can not be interpreted as an integer
