How to reset time back to 0 in pygame? - python-2.7

Question

I am trying to make a game in pygame where you need to click the image to gain a score.My program works but i still need to fix 2 bugs:
Bug 1
When the user presses 'c' that is play again,the **time does not reset back to 0. I want it back to 0 , so that every 10 seconds the game gets over and you cant play it anymore.
Bug 2
The time starts even if the user does not press 'c' , i.e to play game.So by the time user reads the rules (assuming they took 5 seconds to read rules) , and then they press 'c' they only have 5 more seconds to play.I want it to do it so that only when the user presses 'c' the game time starts.
This is my game run up source code:
def runGame():
#Initial score is 0
score=0
gameExit = False
gameOver = False
while not gameExit:
while gameOver == True:
#Game Over message
gameDisplay.fill(black)
message_to_screen("Game over",
red,
y_displace=-50,
size="large")
message_to_screen("Press C to play again or Q to quit.",
white,
y_displace=50,
size="medium")
pygame.display.update()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_q:
gameExit = True
gameOver = False
if event.key == pygame.K_c: #If user press 'c' , game starts
gameLoop()
gameDisplay.fill((white))
#Possible Error from here
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#My time function
time=pygame.time.get_ticks()/1000
if time==11: #Checks if time hit 10 (i took as 11 as it should complete the 10th second)
global time
global score
score=0
time=0
gameOver=True
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Till here
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==pygame.QUIT:
running=False
pygame.quit()
quit()
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and event.button == LEFT:
# Set the x, y postions of the mouse click
x, y = event.pos
if foodrect.collidepoint(x, y):
foodrect.center=(random.randint(5,1060),random.randint(5,700))
print "New Position: ",foodrect.center
score+=1
continue
gameDisplay.blit(foodimg,foodrect)
showtime=font.render("Time: "+str(time),0,(0,0,0))
gameDisplay.blit(showtime,(950,10))
scoredisplay(score)
pygame.display.update()
My Game Loop
def gameLoop():
clock.tick(FPS)
runGame()
pygame.quit()
quit()
gameLoop()

Thanks in advance to help.

Answer 1

I think I might have a solution that at least I use. While sometimes it is nice to use pygame.time.get_ticks, there is an easier solution. Before your while loop set a variable called frame to 0. Then at the end of your while loop type:
if gameEnd == True:
frame=0
score=0
else:
frame+=1
Then all you have to do is only draw the picture when frame>0. You can also easily manipulate frame. Message me if you need any more help.
