Help with Stopping a function after a timer
#1
So I setup this multiplication expression thing. I setup a function to run the expression and a timer for the expression. I'm trying to only allow the person 5 seconds to answer and this is what I've got to, except it won't end the function after 5 seconds. Either it's not running both functions simultaneously, or the end module isn't working because it typed it incorrectly.
import multiprocessing as mp import random import time Number_0_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12] Number_1_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12] Number_0 = random.choice(Number_0_list) Number_1 = random.choice(Number_1_list) print('You have 3 seconds to answer each question, type "startgame()" when your ready') time.sleep(3) def startprogram(times): check = 0 for x in range(0, times): Answered = 0 check = check + 1 print('Ready...') time.sleep(1) print('Set...') time.sleep(1) print('Go!!!') time.sleep(1) print(Number_0, '*', Number_1) timerstart = 1 InputAnswer = input("Answer Here: ") timerstart = 0 Answer = Number_0 * Number_1 IntAnswer = (int(float(Answer))) IntInputAnswer = (int(float(InputAnswer))) if IntInputAnswer == IntAnswer: Answered = 1 print('Nice Job!') time.sleep(1) else: print('OOF! Better luck next time') print(type(IntInputAnswer), type(IntAnswer)) time.sleep(1) print('The real answer is %s' % IntAnswer) def timer(): while True: if timerstart == 1: time.sleep(5) if Answered == 0: startprogram.end() startprogram(check).start() def startgame(): if __name__=='__main__': p1 = mp.Process(target = startprogram(10)) p1.start() p2 = mp.Process(target = timer()) p2.start() p1.join() p2.join()
