Re: [pygame] image window disappears

Well, the program was done so it quit.

You need an event loop that keeps looping until you hit the quit button.

Greetings,

The following creates a window on my screen, which disappears after
about 1 second:

import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *

# set up pygame
pygame.init()

# set up the window
windowSurface = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 400), 0, 32)
pygame.display.set_caption('Hello world!')



I've tried it with two setups with the same result: python2.7 and python3.4.

Before I put 3.4 on my system, it ran on python2.7 with what I expect
is the correct behavior, i.e., the image persisted until I killed
python. After installing 3.4 and pygame for 3.4, the current problem
emerged.

My OS is Debian Wheezy.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,

Tom Arnall
