title: Python if statement delay
body: <p>I am trying to make a 'game' while learning about both Python and GPIO on the Raspberry Pi. This is what I have ATM:</p>
  
  <pre><code>while playing == 1:
          if (GPIO.input(9) == 0):
              GPIO.output(18, GPIO.LOW)
              print("Well done!!")
              time.sleep(1)
          else:    
              print("Wrong!")
              lives = lives - 1
              time.sleep(1)
          playing = 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, my problem is that the program is hitting the if statement and is going straight to the else (as you would expect), however, I want the program to wait on the first part of the if statement for a second, then go to the else.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
