Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

code: ```import pygame
from pygame.time import Clock

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 1080, 1920
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

Create a circle surface

outer_ring_surface = pygame.Surface((30, 30), pygame.SRCALPHA)
pygame.draw.circle(outer_ring_surface, (255, 0, 0), (15, 15), 15)

clock = Clock()
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get(): # Use pygame.event.get() instead of pygame.event.QUIT
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False

# Fill the screen with black before drawing the circle
screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

# Blit the circle surface onto the screen
screen.blit(outer_ring_surface, (500, 200))

pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(30)```

Output appears onclick of run

Did you initialize pygame?

[azure axle]

yes

like install?

or what

[gilded mango]

I think pygame has an actual function called .init()

[azure axle]

Requirement already satisfied: pygame in c:\python311\lib\site-packages (2.6.0)

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.0 -> 24.1.2
[notice] To update, run: python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip```

[azure axle]

so?

[gilded mango]

Disregard flip() should’ve worked. Don’t think you need to call pygame.init().

I’m viewing your code on a phone so just, bare with me.

[azure axle]

all good

take your time

thx for your help

[gilded mango]

Try putting a print statement within the while-loop to make sure it’s actually reaching it.

Let me get on my PC quickly, and I’ll try running it

[azure axle]

thx

[gilded mango]

Try this in the meantime, and lmk.

[azure axle]

the loop is working

[gilded mango]

One second.

I don’t have Python 3.11 on hand right now, so it may not function on my end and vice versa since I’m using 3.12 but let me try tinkering first,

[azure axle]

you do you

[gilded mango]

Think I might've found it, one second.

[azure axle]

found it?

[gilded mango]

Not yet, gonna look into it more.

[azure axle]

alright

[gilded mango]

I dont know whats going on, Ill check on it if no one else assists; but I really cannot see the issue.

[azure axle]

you're good

Your circle is being drawn out of the screen, you screen size is 1080 X 1920 and the circle is at 500, 200, ie: not far enough down that super tall window to see in your screen

Put the circle at 500, 900 and you will see it

And you probably want to change the size of the window, it's too tall
