Nice, not sure if you can pull from my fork but here is my "pause game" feature:

• raw_input()
• if raw_input() == "z":

•    print "Paused. Hit ENTER again to continue."
  

•    before = time()
  

•    raw_input()

•    prev += pause
  

a minimalist version of this game is something I like to call timecat. you time time cat into your terminal and then CTRL+C at exactly 5 seconds. whoever gets closest to 5 seconds wins

Thanks! I added your pause feature, but using "prev" instead of calling time again so that any time spent on the turn where z was typed also doesn't count.

New features in latest version:

• Automatic pause
• Configuration options
• New display
