What exatly do you want to do with that timer ? If you just want the timer: import time start = time.time() #your code here #the game loop in here currentTimeOfPlay = time.time() - start This will be a timer, you just display it value using you GUI modume (use int(currentTimeOfPlay) to display only the integer part) If you want your time to be reset every amount of time (for example start with 0 every 60 seconds), you use: currentTimeOfPlay = (time.time() - start) % 60 And you just replace 60 with whatever value you want
