Closing Pygame Window

Question

I just spent a fair amount of time finding a 64-bit installation of pygame to use with python 3.3, (here) and now am trying to make a window. However, although the window op

Answer 1

if you want to make pygame close when window button x is pressed, put the code like this:

from sys import exit
while True:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                pygame.quit()
                exit()

We put exit() after pygame.quit(), because pygame.quit() makes the system exit and exit() closes that window.

Answer 2

Not sure but try this Because you code runs fine on my system after I add pygame.quit() at the end

import pygame
import time
(width, height) = (300, 200)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.display.set_caption("Hello World")
running = True
try:
    while running:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                running = False
    pygame.quit()
except SystemExit:
    pygame.quit()

Its perhaps because as Idle is made on Tkinter and thus Tkinter and Pygame main loop do not have a mutual understanding.
Your code will run very well on command prompt though.
