This is bad because it will consume the battery faster while the laptop is awake and prevent the laptop going to sleep.

Hmm.. I found that it doesn't stop processing on the switch to another activity.
I'm setting to keyword to "sugar-love".
Would be useful to stop processing pygame loop on if activity is inactive.

100% cpu to do nothing doesn't seem like best practice. There are no animations, it's just sitting there doing nothing.

We need to compare to older versions and other pygame based activities and see what can be do to relief cpu,
previous versions of history builder run fine iirc.
some pygame mod should be involved.

I've also drop down FPS to 20 in order that animations run faster.

This is on latest version on ASLO, the crucial error to tackle is the aforementioned by alsroot.

In fact, it is how games work. They all time do something, e.g., play animations...
Does v15 have more cpu consumption for you than previous versions?
