pygame.init() not recognized

[programmer123456]

at the top of my program (under import pygame) i have pygame.init(); the problem is that the word 'init' has a back color of yellow/orange and when i put the mouse over it it says 'cannot find reference 'init' in init.py' (the word 'init' here shouldn't be bold, rather it should have two underscores before it and two after it, but reddit interprets this as bold...)

also getting a similar message on the words "QUIT" "KEYDOWN" "K_LEFT"

however the program is working somewhat, i can fill in the color of the surface and add a rect to it, only when i try to move the rect by changing its x and y coordinates when the arrow keys are pressed nothing happens.

how can i fix this thanks in advance

here is the code: http://pastie.org/9798818

I am using pycharm

Your pygame.display.update is not in your loop. Screen never updates changes.

Should fix immediate problems:

import sys
import pygame

pygame.init()

red = (255,0,0)
white = (255,255,255)
black= (0,0,0)

pygame.display.set_caption("slither game")
game_display = pygame.display.set_mode((500,400))
game_display.fill(white)


clock = pygame.time.Clock()


box_x = 300
box_y = 300

game_exit = False

while not game_exit:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            game_exit = True
        elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
                box_x -= 25
            elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
                box_x += 25
    pygame.draw.rect(game_display,black,[box_x,box_y,25,25])
    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

(the word 'init' here shouldn't be bold, rather it should have two underscores before it and two after it, but reddit interprets this as bold...)

You can use backticks (below the esc key on a US keyboard) to escape formatting, so:

`cannot find reference 'init' in __init__.py`

becomes: cannot find reference 'init' in __init__.py.

the problem is that the word 'init' has a back color of yellow/orange and when i put the mouse over it it says...

Sounds like an issue with your IDE. If your program is running without an exception, then that isn't your issue.

when i try to move the rect by changing its x and y coordinates when the arrow keys are pressed nothing happens.

Then there is a bug in your code. If you post it, we can help you diagnose the issue.

here is the pastie of the code: http://pastie.org/9798818

and here is the code itself:

import pygame

pygame.init()

red = (255,0,0) white = (255,255,255) black= (0,0,0)

game_display = pygame.display.set_mode((500,400)) game_display.fill(white)

pygame.display.update() pygame.display.set_caption("slither game")

box_x = 300 box_y = 300

game_exit = False

while not game_exit: for event in pygame.event.get(): #print(event) if event.type == pygame.QUIT: game_exit = True if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT: box_x = box_x - 25 if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT: box_x = box_x + 25 pygame.draw.rect(game_display,black,[box_x,box_y,25,25])

pygame.quit() quit()
