is_dead

Boolean value reflecting if the Sketch has been run and has now stopped.

Examples

import time

def setup():
    py5.background(255, 0, 0)


print("the sketch is ready:", py5.is_ready)

py5.run_sketch(block=False)

print("the sketch is running:", py5.is_running)

py5.exit_sketch()

# wait for exit_sketch to complete
time.sleep(1)

print("the sketch is dead:", py5.is_dead)
print("did the sketch exit from an error?", py5.is_dead_from_error)

Description

Boolean value reflecting if the Sketch has been run and has now stopped. This will be True after calling exit_sketch() or if the Sketch throws an error and stops. This will also be True after calling Py5Surface‘s Py5Surface.stop_thread() method. Once a Sketch reaches the “dead” state, it cannot be rerun.

After an error or a call to Py5Surface.stop_thread(), the Sketch window will still be open. Call exit_sketch() to close the window.
