#🔒 pygamee open screen not working
iron vortex
it said pygame.init() is wrong idk why
final harbor
if Python is outputting an error message when you try to run your program it would be useful if you also posted that so we can help to diagnose your problem
final harbor
alright
iron vortex
final harbor
ah you are getting an error
iron vortex
how i fix
fluid sorrel
also i think the pygame init call has to come last, but i'm not really sure
final harbor
when you write Python code, you have to have consistent whitespace so Python knows what scope the code belongs to
I think there's a command which explains this
!indentation
ah, well
final harbor
Okay so indentation refers to the whitespace (which basically just means spaces/tabs/or any other character which represents a 'space') that you put before each line. In your code you have a space before pygame.init() so the Python interpreter sees pygame.init() (note the leading space). In some languages indentation is not important but in Python you have to be careful how you indent because the interpreter uses it to determine how statements are grouped together. I can illustrate what 'grouped together' means by this example ```py
my_variable = 'hello'
another_variable = input('type a word: ') # prompt the user to input a word
if my_variable == another_variable:
# only the code we have 'indented' will be ran if the above statement is true
print('you said hello!'
else:
print('you said something else')
...
final harbor
To fix your problem, you will have to remove the leading spaces on lines 3 and 5 (your linter has highlighted them in red for you)

i remember pygame
iron vortex
ama share screen
iron vortex
oh ok
teal swan
u rather do unity or smthn
final harbor
ama share screen
alright, I won't be able to talk to you cause it is pretty late where I am
iron vortex
naw id code
teal swan
4?
iron vortex
im talking to cat
final harbor
if you could send a screenshot that would probably be fine too
teal swan
i remember i memorised the default beginning for starting a basic window
iron vortex
no it hapen in the blink of a eye
final harbor
I think you have to get voice verified to be able to stream
iron vortex
as soon as i open it it closes
teal swan
no it hapen in the blink of a eye
while loop it i think
final harbor
no it hapen in the blink of a eye
since you're running it in VSCode, there should be an error message printed in the 'Terminal' tab on the bottom of your screen like in your previous message #1312922112104730684 message
iron vortex
oh ill try
it said screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREEN_WIDTH,SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600))
final harbor
when you're debugging, you have to look at the error message that the programming language is reporting to you, not just the offended line
teal swan
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
pygame.display.set_caption("Basic Window")
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
pygame.quit()
try
iron vortex
it said
import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame
dude this just wont work
idk why
teal swan
well u didnt install it then
iron vortex
wdy mean
iron vortex
where do i put that in
iron vortex
A new release of pip is available: 24.0 -> 24.3.1
[notice] To update, run:
teal swan
🫡
iron vortex
w
teal swan
well ill tell u pygame does get very confusing pnce u get deep into the stuff
like those big games
iron vortex
mm where can i learn pygame code
teal swan
yt?

if you're unfamiliar with some of the basics of how Python works then it may be worth reading some of the sections of the 'Automate the Boring Stuff' book (which you can read online for free) before attempting to continue with pygame. Specifically relating to your issue is this section on Control Flow and indentation (the book says 'Blocks')
it will be easier for you to write code with pygame if you understand the basics first

There are some other resources here as well

iron vortex
oh ill try
final harbor
definitely! It's also something that Python is used a lot for
iron vortex
ummmmmmm yea no idk what this is
teal swan
ummmmmmm yea no idk what this is
like im pretty sure it brushes on data analysis but it goes into thingw like models and stuff i think I don’t know much but ill try learn at some point
theres so much
iron vortex
i watch tutorials
quaint oriole
I usually recommend Clear Code on youtube, there are a few others too, Tech with Tim, Programming with Nick, DaFluffyPotato, but recommend being decent at python too, pygame is not really a python beginner thing
