Game Loop & Events

Complete the pygame game loop. Fill each blank so the loop handles events, redraws the screen, and limits the frame rate.

running = ▢1
clock = pygame.time.▢2()

while ▢3:
    for event in pygame.event.▢4():
        if event.type == pygame.▢5:
            running = ▢6
    screen.fill(BG)
    pygame.display.▢7()
    clock.▢8(▢9)

pygame.quit()

The code below has 3 bugs. For each bug, type the corrected line in the box provided.

running = True
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:   # Bug 1
            running = False
    screen.fill(BG)
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(30)                         # Bug 2
                                           # Bug 3 – something is missing here
pygame.quit()

Add a **pause feature**: pressing the P key should toggle a `paused` variable. When `paused` is True, skip the game-update step but still redraw the screen.

running = True
paused  = False
clock   = pygame.time.Clock()

while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            # YOUR CODE: toggle paused when K_p is pressed
            pass

    if not paused:
        pass   # game update goes here

    screen.fill(BG)
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(SNAKE_SPEED)

**Challenge:** Display a live FPS counter in the top-right corner of the window each frame. Use `clock.get_fps()` and `pygame.font.SysFont` to render it. Paste your complete updated loop.

Answer each prompt thoughtfully. There are no right or wrong answers — this is your own reflection.
