pyGame full core usage in simple loop

问题

Edit

This is an open issue and appears to be related to alsa audio.

A workaround is to shutdown the audio mixer, or install pyGame from source.

pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.quit()

I am just beginning development with pyGame and have found that I should use the following to gate CPU time:

fps = 30
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

while True:
    # Logic...
    clock.tick(fps)

The issue that I seem to be having, is that the most basic draw a square program running at 1 FPS consumes a full CPU core.

import pygame

pygame.init()

size = ( 16, 16 )
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
pygame.display.set_caption("High CPU")

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

run=True
while run:

    print("Rendering...")

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
             run=False

    screen.fill((255,255,255))

    # Render
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(1)

# When done
pygame.quit()

As soon as I invoke this script, a single core of my machine spikes to 100%, although the messages are only being printed to the console at the expected 1 FPS update rate.

And running latest pyGame

$ pip show pygame

Is this a possible bug in the latest version of pyGame? Or am I managing time incorrectly?

回答1:

We fixed this in pygame 2.

pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6

cheers,
