pyGame full core usage in simple loop

Question

Edit

This is an open issue and appears to be related to alsa audio.

A workaround is to shutdown the audio mixer, or install pyGame from sour

Answer 1

We fixed this in pygame 2. It does not take 100% of a CPU core on some linux systems anymore.

python3 -m pip install pygame --upgrade

As of pygame 2.0.0, it may be better to install pygame from source on some linux systems.
