I want to build a Danganronpa-styled debate/battle system. Once upon a time, the tutorial section actually had the necessary scriptwork for me to rip apart and study, but it now seems to be gone. This is what I have thrown together for part of this in a class setting.
Function invocation is atomic: nothing else can happen until function finishes executing. So a loop inside of function is not a good idea. Why not use screen with Timer on it instead?
And that is the rub: I remember seeing that being part of the tutorial a few years back. I made the rookie mistake saying, "Oh, that's useless. I'll never use this." And now, here we are. My script above is based off of fifteen minutes of scanning the python tutorials and WikiHow, which is kind of not really helpful. So there's a dedicated screen with Timer?
