Blank Pygame screen error

by: timafefi, 7 years ago


Hi! This is a question to sentdex (I'm new to this website, but i think it's his) and to everyone  else who've watched the introdoction video to game development using pygame that was posted in 2014. I have done everything that the author did in his video, but I keep getting a blank transparent screen (i can see the python shell through it). Every time I try to close it the program sends me a notification that pygame is not replying, so i have to force close it. At the first glance there seems to be no one in the commetns below the video with a same problem and I don't think the aouthor still reads them three years after the video came out. Could anyone explain to me what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks.

P.S. There is no point to attach my script, because it's identical to the original one.

First, all comments made, regardless on what video, I do get. In youtube, the comments are sorted in order of the time they were posted, it doesn't matter how old or what video.

The 2014 series is just older and outdated, so it doesn't get followed as often.

Generally, if your screen isn't updating, you're not asking it to.

Maybe something really changed with the code, but, historically, any time someone says their code is "identical" to what was in the video, it's not :P.
