Adding a timer in pygame

Question

Would anyone know how you would code a timer to be displayed on screen in pygame, where the time is going up as the user is playing?

If you have a problem you can post what you've tried with a clear explanation of what isn't working and provide a [Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). I suggest reading [How to Ask](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) a good question. Also, be sure to take the [tour](https://stackoverflow.com/tour) — Yash Karanke, Dec 01 '17 at 19:22

You can do something like this

start_ticks=pygame.time.get_ticks()
while mainloop:
    seconds=(pygame.time.get_ticks()-start_ticks)/1000 
    if seconds>10:
        break
