[pygame] Re: pygame frontend

    Hi Michael,
        
        Thanks so much for the response, yes I am using 1.9.1.  This is
        mostly due to still using Python 2.x.  I will look into
        upgrading and porting to Python 3.x and trying out these
        suggestions.

I get the feeling you are using an older version of pygame (1.9.1 or 1.9.6 perhaps). The debug print has been fixed for quite some time. Also, pygame2.0 uses SDL2 and handles fullscreen better. It supports a scaled fullscreen desktop mode that actually changes the desktop resolution. Just use the pygame.SCALED flag to pygame.display.setmode()

To upgrade you can try one of these commands:

pip3 install pygame -U

pip install pygame -U

I think if I were creating a front end like this I would destroy the window before executing a game, and then recreating it afterwards.

The official pygame Discord has recently shut down. Perhaps you might want to visit the github or an unofficial pygame discord.
