    # outside of user's text input
    input_rect.w = max(100, text_surface.get_width()+10)
      
    # display.flip() will update only a portion of the
    # screen to updated, not full area
    pygame.display.flip()
      
    # clock.tick(60) means that for every second at most
    # 60 frames should be passed.
    clock.tick(60)
