Increasing and decreasing variable's value over time

[AndersSilva]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and I have been studying Python for about 2 weeks. I know most of the beginners can solve all their doubts just by looking at the documentation, but even reading about these modules: time, datetime and threading, I wasn't able to solve one thing I'm trying to do.
My project is about a virtual pet, this pet needs to have its age increased over time (1 hour per increase) and its hungry points have to decrease over time (5 minutes per point). But, I wasn't able to find something to help me with this.

Can someone help me, please?

Look here: http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/timer-objects.html

You will need to time and threading modules very carefuly.

They can make your life more easier.
