Pygame returning black screen even though other parts of the same script are working
Im following a tutorial on Youtube which results in displaying a red blob/dot on a white background. I am only getting a black screen instead of the expected result.
I've tried to find any errors in the code but cant find any. When i run the code i am presented with a window with a black background and nothing on it. The only part of the code that is working is the exit button. I would think that if that part of the script is working, all of it would be working but i guess i still messed up. Help would be much appreciated.
This is my code:
import pygame
import random
width = 800
height = 600
white = (255,255,255)
red = (255,0,0)
blue = (0,0,255)
game_display = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.set_caption("2D Blob world")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
class blob:
def __init__(self, color):
self.x = random.randrange(0,width)
self.y = random.randrange(0,height)
self.size = random.randrange(5,10)
self.color = color
def move(self):
self.x += random.randrange(-5,5)
self.y += random.randrange(-5,5)
if self.x >width:
self.x = width
elif self.x <0:
self.x = 0
if self.y >height:
self.y = height
elif self.y <0:
self.y = 0
def draw_environment(blob):
game_display.fill((white))
pygame.draw.circle(game_display, blob.color,(blob.x, blob.y), blob.size)
pygame.display.update()
def main():
red_blob = blob(red)
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
quit()
draw_environment(red_blob)
clock.tick(60)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
draw_environment(red_blob)
What it should get as a result is a red dot on a white background.

The problem with the above code is inside the main method's definition. You are creating a blob object and then going inside an infinite loop, instead of drawing the environment first.
To fix it you need to move draw_environment(red_blob) from line 48 to after line 41, so that your main method looks like this:
def main():
red_blob = blob(red)
draw_environment(red_blob)
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
quit()
clock.tick(60)
You may also want to move the clock.tick(60) method to somewhere above also as you need it to be.
