I recently downloaded pygame on my Mac, but for some reason, the window does not pop up with the screen or anything. I don’t get an error message, it just runs but doesn’t actually pop up a display.
import pygame, sys from pygame.locals import* pygame.init() SCREENWIDTH = 800 SCREENHEIGHT = 800 RED = (255,0,0) screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREENWIDTH, SCREENHEIGHT)) pygame.draw.rect(screen, RED, (400, 400, 20, 20),0) screen.fill(RED) pygame.display.update()

Your code is currently starting, drawing a red rectangle in a window, and then ending immediatly. You should probably wait for the user to quit before closing the window. Try the following:
import pygame, sys from pygame.locals import* pygame.init() SCREENWIDTH = 800 SCREENHEIGHT = 800 RED = (255,0,0) screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREENWIDTH, SCREENHEIGHT)) pygame.draw.rect(screen, RED, (400, 400, 20, 20),0) screen.fill(RED) pygame.display.update() # waint until user quits running = True while running: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False pygame.quit()
The loop in the end will ensure that the window remains open until the user closes it.
