This causes an event to be generated every 400 milliseconds. So for your purpose, you&#8217;ll want to change that to <code>10000<\/code>. Note you can include underscores in numeric constants to make it more obvious, so you could use <code>10_000<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>Once the event is generated, it needs to be handled, so that&#8217;s in the <code>elif event.type == CUSTOM_TIMER_EVENT:<\/code> statement. That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll want to increase the velocity of your sprite.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you want to cancel the timer, e.g. on game over, you supply zero as the timer duration: <code>pygame.time.set_timer(CUSTOM_TIMER_EVENT, 0)<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you need any clarifications.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jassweb.com\/solved\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Solved-How-to-execute-event-repeatedly-in-Python.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jassweb.com\/solved\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Solved-How-to-execute-event-repeatedly-in-Python.gif\" alt=\"Running Example\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\"><\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p>solved How to execute event repeatedly in Python? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Here&#8217;s a simple example using a timer.
