Answer 1

I editet my code to this one:

def checkquit(e): running = True pause = False for ev in e: if ev.type == pygame.QUIT: exit(0) running = False pause = False

    if ev.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and ev.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
        quit(0)
        running = False
        pause = False

    if ev.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and ev.key == pygame.K_p:
            pause = True
            running = False



while pause: 
    pause = True
    red = (255,0,0)
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,800))
    screen.fill((0,0,0))
    myfont=pygame.font.SysFont("monospace",50)
    myfonttwo=pygame.font.SysFont("monospace",10)
    myfonttwo=pygame.font.SysFont("monospace",10)
    text1=myfont.render("Pause!",100,red)
    text2=myfont.render("Please resume your game!",100,red)
    text3=myfont.render("Game starts in 10 seconds!",100,red)
    screen.blit(text2,(50,200))
    screen.blit(text1,(300,100))
    screen.blit(text3,(0,300))

    pygame.display.update()
    pygame.time.delay(4500)
    if ev.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and ev.key == pygame.K_p:
        pause = False

And it works very good! Thanks for your advices!
