Pygame is a module that makes you create games with python using SDL 2.

First you install it from the comman line interface:

pip install pygame

On the Mac you may have to do

pip3 install pygame

A blank window

Design an empty window. On the screen surface everything will happen.

First import pygame

• then initialize it (pygame.init())
• create the screen main surface
• the clock is for the frame rate
• the infinite loop (it stops with the pygame.QUIT event)
• fills with a color every frame
• update screen
• put the frame rate to 60 udates per second

import pygame
import sys


pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((500,500)) # this is the main surface where sprites are shown every frame
clock = pygame.time.Clock() # this is needed to limit frame rate (to 60 in the last line)
# This loop goes on forever till you quit with the x button of the window
while True:
	for event in pygame.event.get():
		if event.type == pygame. QUIT: # this makes the window quit clicking the x button
			pygame.quit()
			sys.exit()
	screen.fill((200,30,30)) # fills the screen with this color every frame
	pygame.display.update()
	clock.tick(60)
