If I correct understand your goal, you might use a priority queue (heap) (there is one in the standard library). You insert all chars with the initial response time as the 'key'. You remove the one who is going to respond first and perform his actions. If he is to get another turn, add his next reaction time to the current value and insert him back into the queue. The next character to act will then be at the front of the queue. Repeat. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
