code not related to events in the event loop for pygame

Question

I am making a game with pygame and have a few doubts about the event loop

clock = pygame.time.Clock()
run = True
while run:
    clock.tick(60)
    # event loop
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False

Namely, does it run infinitely or does it run for a 60th of a second and can you put non event operators in the loop such as:

clock = pygame.time.Clock()
run = True
while run:
    clock.tick(60)
    # event loop
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
            check = True
        if check:
            print("Hello")
            check = False

Would it print "Hello" every time you click or would it break in some way?

Answer 1

The game loop will run infinitely at a maximum of 60 iterations per second due to clock.tick(60). tick is a measure of time in PyGame: clock.tick(60) means that for every second at most 60 frames should pass.

Your code seems mostly fine, but you need to initialize check before using it:

clock = pygame.time.Clock()
run = True
check = False  #Initialization

while run:
    clock.tick(60)
    # event loop
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
            check = True
    if check:
        print("Hello")
        check = False

I haven't run it, but I think it should print "Hello" each time you click.
