DIY Escape Room for fun

[StannemanPython]

I am currently working on a timer and pincode script which should determine whether someone is able to stop the timer in time by inserting the correct code so that the person wins the escape room. I created my escape room in real life. The only thing I want to add to my script is a live count down of the time instead of just showing the time left after someone tried a pincode.

import time
from datetime import timedelta, datetime


def countdown(t):
    while t:  # while t > 0 for clarity
        mins = t // 60
        secs = t % 60
        timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
        print(timer, end="\r")  # overwrite previous line
        time.sleep(1)
        t -= 1
    print('Blast Off!!!')


t = input("Enter the time in seconds: ")

countdown(int(t))


def pomodoro():

    print("The Escape Room starts now. Find the 4 digits of the pincode. Write the digits in order from lowest to highest. You only have 3 tries")
    timer_start = datetime.now()
    secret_code = "3389"
    allotted_time = timedelta(seconds=6*60)
    error = 0
    while True:
        print("Enter the 4 digit pincode here:")
        code = input()
        now = datetime.now()
        time_taken = now - timer_start
        if time_taken > allotted_time:
            print("You took too much time! You lose!")
            time.sleep(60)
            return
        if code == secret_code:
            print("You managed to stop the mutation and escaped! You won!")
            time.sleep(60)
            return
        print("That's not the right code!")
        error += 1
        if error == 3:
            print("You took too many tries! You lose!")
            time.sleep(60)
            return
        print(f"You only have {allotted_time - time_taken} time left!")

pomodoro()

my understanding is you have a question, so I deleted the other thread - in Code Share section of the forum.
please, don't start new threads unnecessarily
