Is there a way to make the GameTimer class itself threaded? I've seen some 
examples that look a bit like this:

class GameTimer(threading.Thread):
   def__init__(self):
      threading.Thread.__init__(self)

   def run (self):
       #stuff here

But I'm a little unsure of exactly how to do this. Is there an advantage to 
one over the other?
