pygame gameloop setup code example

Example 1: how to setup pygame

# To install pygame, type 'pip install pygame' in the 
# windows powershell or the os terminal

# To create a blank screen as a setup for a game, use:
import pygame
import sys

pygame.init()

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

FPS = 30 # How many times the screen will update per second

screen_width = 600 # How wide the window will be
screen_height = 600 # how high the window will be

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((screen_width, screen_height)) # creates the screen

while True:
    clock.tick(FPS) # updates the screen, the amount of times it does so depends on the FPS
    for event in pygame.event.get(): # Allows you to add various events
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT: # Allows the user to exit using the X button
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

Example 2: pygame setup

import pygame
pygame.init()

win = pygame.display.set_mode((500,500))
pygame.display.set_caption("First Game")

x = 50
y = 50
width = 40
height = 60
vel = 5

run = True

while run:
    pygame.time.delay(100) # This will delay the game the given amount of milliseconds. In our casee 0.1 seconds will be the delay

    for event in pygame.event.get():  # This will loop through a list of any keyboard or mouse events.
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT: # Checks if the red button in the corner of the window is clicked
            run = False  # Ends the game loop

pygame.quit()  # If we exit the loop this will execute and close our game
