#107690 — Running PyGame on OS X

I have PyGame installed.

As soon as I run pygame.init() or pygame.display.init(), a PyGame icon
will pop up in the Dock, and then its application will simply stop
responding. Needless to say, I can't actually do anything with it.

What is this application, and what is likely the problem with it?

Thanks,

Daniele

That sounds like it's just the PyGame display window. Likely it's not
responding because you just called init() and didn't actually start
running an event loop to process events on the window. I'd suggest
working through a PyGame tutorial.
