win stop responding when there is no `tcod.event.get()` about python-tcod HOT 4 CLOSED

This is normal behavior for SDL-based programs. Event polling is how your program tells Windows that your app isn't hanging.

SDL has SDL_PumpEvents which lets you keep the window awake without needing to handle the events immediately. You can call this function from tcod using tcod.lib.SDL_PumpEvents().

There isn't much more to add. A program does need to check events at least to respond to quit events and other windowing events. SDL_PumpEvents causes important side-effects so I won't add it to non-event functions.

A main loop without event polling might be considered invalid. Something like a long loading screen might use SDL_PumpEvents or it might check events normally for its duration. What example do you have for a program which doesn't check events?

Hi, HexDec
I'm working on the first demo, so there is no event handle function yet. I agree that it at least need to respond for quit, and maybe I have to learn more on SDL to work better with tcod. XD
Thanks for your help!

No problem. Keeping the event loop from the getting started examples should be enough. You only need to replace tcod.event.wait with tcod.event.get.
