Making A Pause Screen

Im trying to make a pause screen function but the images shutter and appear with a good delay. Any ideas Heres my code: PauseLogo = pg.image.load('Stop.png') Pause = pg.image.load(

Solution 1:

Draw different scenes dependent on the state of paused:

while running:
    clock.tick(FPS)
    for event in pg.event.get():
        if event.type == pg.QUIT:
            running = Falseif event.type == pg.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pg.K_SPACE:
                paused = not paused

    if paused == True:
        screen.blit(PauseLogo, (0,0))
        screen.blit(Pause, (400, 330))
    else:
        all_sprites.update()
        screen.fill(DARKGRAY)
        all_sprites.draw(screen)

    pygame.display.update()

Note, pygame.time.Clock.tick() measures the time since the last call of this function and delays the application. If you call it twice in the application, the application is delayed twice.
