How to read button presses?

[Merklins]

I still have a question about how to read the user's button clicks, I tried to do it with the code below, but it doesn't work.

while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

    pressed_key = pygame.key.get_pressed()

    if pressed_key[pygame.K_SPACE]:
        print(1)
        GAME_MENU()

    clock.tick(FPS)

    pygame.display.update()
    main_menu.mainloop(screen)

Hi, check out https://pygame-menu.readthedocs.io/en/4.3.1/_source/create_menu.html#display-a-menu, in particular, menu can receive your events using mymenu.update(events).

Timer-clock example, https://pygame-menu.readthedocs.io/en/4.3.1/_source/gallery.html#timer-clock-example, illustrates a case with a conditional menu (can be turned on/off. Here you can see menu draw and update.

https://pygame-menu.readthedocs.io/en/4.3.1/_source/gallery.html#game-selector-example does the same. Note this example has two different "while True". One is for the main app, and the other one is for the play_function. I think this example is more similar to your project, see:
