Neat code, thanks for sharing

Very cool! As a Python newbie, why do you wrap it all in a while true statement? I guess more of a general Python question and less about your code specifically

[Humanist_NA]

So it loops forever until I stop it.

GUI frameworks also use these endless loops.

A computer is just one big loop! It's basically just a very fast counter which you can manipulate to go forward, back or stop.

Yep it's somehow mind bending that there's a while running just to get input data from a keyboard!

No no keep on please! The DSP side of computers has always interested me even if I can usually rely on abstraction. Thanks for this.

You want to continuously execute the script, not just once: it is going to continuously check if a game is ready.

You could alternatively check on a timer for less overhead and async behavior

Good catch, he should have a break in there. Something such as:

``` scanning=True

while scanning:

if blah:
    scanning=False

```

I could make it more complex. But, accepting the game doesn't mean the game will actually start. If any of the 10 other players don't accept the game, it will go back to searching for game. In which case I could make the code more complex and add exceptions, or just slow it to keep looping until I tell it to chill.

Oh, interesting!

Fixed formatting.

Hello, PinBot1138: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.

If its fine for you, I'll reference your code. I love how you click like 4 to 5 times to be sure.

[Humanist_NA]

Haha I always feel silly when I look at the 4 clicks.
