My game's code works but Python still freezes at random intervals.

    while True:
        gf.check_events(player, pp_settings)
        clock.tick(60)
        if pp_settings.game_active:
            enemy.update()
            player.update()
            ball.update()
            gf.update_screen(pp_settings, screen, player, enemy, ball)
        else:
            gf.update_screen_startup(screen, pp_settings, player, enemy, startup)

I didn't see how pp_settings.game_active can change, but it isn't in gf.update_screen_startup(). So if it was ever False for any reason, the game would no longer update any entities.

*Edit: Nope, nope, nevermind, I see it now. game_functions.check_events() handles that. Hmm...
