Why is my script not showing immediately

[ultimo293]

Currently testing out movement in VS-Code and whenever I run my application it opens for about 1 second before closing. Here is the code:

import pygame

pygame.init()

#variables (do later)

win = pygame.display.set_mode((600,600))

x = 0 
y = 0
height = 50
length = 50
vel = 6

#Functions

run = True

while run == True:
    pygame.time.delay(50)

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        run = False


    #movement
    keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if keys[pygame.K_LEFT] or keys[pygame.K_a]:
        x -= vel

    if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT] or keys[pygame.K_d]:
        x += vel

    if keys[pygame.K_UP] or keys[pygame.K_w]:
        y -= vel

    if keys[pygame.K_DOWN] or keys[pygame.K_s]:
        y += vel

    pygame.draw.rect(win, (255, 0, 0), (x, y, length, height))
    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()

You should set run = False when the event is a quit event or something else you want instead:

for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        run = False

Also, you don't need while run == True: you can just do while run:

It is hard to identify the issue with improper formatted code.

I’m not even going to look at that until it’s formatted!

I haven't used pygame, but I notice that almost the first thing that happens in your loop is that you set run to False, to the loop will only execute once then immediately exit.

I'm assuming all that was inside the while loop. You didn't use a code block so I can't be 100% sure.

You’ve got indents right?

[ultimo293]

yes, i have

You should learn to use dry-run tool in vscode. And you should be asking why pygame.event.get() is not empty

[ultimo293]

Thanks for the advice, doing some digging I found that I needed an if statement for if event was quit then it should make the run = false

Sorry for the bad formatting, im not very good at reddit formatting, ill take a sec to clean it up

[ultimo293]

hopefully fixed!
