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

UPDATED
So here is my game code:

import sys, pygame, random

    pygame.init()            

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)

    #screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size, pygame.FULLSCREEN)



    bat = pygame.image.load("bat.png").convert()

    batrect = bat.get_rect()



    ball = pygame.image.load("ball.png").convert()

    ball.set_colorkey((255, 255, 255))

    ballrect = ball.get_rect()

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).

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
