Re: [pygame] Quit pygame

[Dan Ross <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add "while running:" before the "for" loop. Then when you close the
window, it will quit.

If you want to use standard keys to quit, you have to watch for those in
the event loop as well.

I would check out some of the games on the pygame.org website for
examples. That helped me quite a bit.
