Я хочу реализовать таймер для моей математической викторины. В начале у пользователя должно быть 2 минуты, и к каждому правильному ответу добавляется 10 секунд. За неправильные ответы 6 se c будут удалены. Как я могу сделать это с Python 3.8?

Answer 1

Я бы добавил новый метод и использовал нить. Модуль времени (https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#timer -объекты ):

from threading import Timer
global time_to_play
time_to_play=2*60        # in seconds

....

def check_for_end:
    if time_to_play == 0:              # time runs out
        print("You lose")
        exit(0)                        # exit program

    else:                                   # still playing
       t = Timer(2.0, check_for_end)  # start Timer wich runs the check methode in 2 sec
       t.start()

и теперь вам просто нужно настроить глобальную переменную time_to_play соответственно. Таймер проверит все 2 секунды, если time_to_play равно 0
