<p>Times in pygame are represented in milliseconds (1/1000 seconds). Most
platforms have a limited time resolution of around 10 milliseconds. This
resolution, in milliseconds, is given in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TIMER_RESOLUTION</span></code> constant.</p>

<p>Set an event to appear on the event queue every given number of milliseconds.
The first event will not appear until the amount of time has passed.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">event</span></code> attribute can be a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.event.Event</span></code> object or an integer
type that denotes an event.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loops</span></code> is an integer that denotes the number of events posted. If 0 (default)
then the events will keep getting posted, unless explicitly stopped.</p>
<p>To disable the timer for such an event, call the function again with the same
event argument with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">millis</span></code> argument set to 0.</p>
<p>It is also worth mentioning that a particular event type can only be put on a
timer once. In other words, there cannot be two timers for the same event type.
Setting an event timer for a particular event discards the old one for that
event type.</p>

<p>Creates a new Clock object that can be used to track an amount of time. The
clock also provides several functions to help control a game's framerate.</p>

<div class="line"><span class="signature">tick(framerate=0) -&gt; milliseconds</span></div>
</div>
<p>This method should be called once per frame. It will compute how many
milliseconds have passed since the previous call.</p>
<p>If you pass the optional framerate argument the function will delay to
keep the game running slower than the given ticks per second. This can be
used to help limit the runtime speed of a game. By calling
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Clock.tick(40)</span></code> once per frame, the program will never run at more
than 40 frames per second.</p>
<p>Note that this function uses SDL_Delay function which is not accurate on
every platform, but does not use much CPU. Use tick_busy_loop if you want
an accurate timer, and don't mind chewing CPU.</p>
