Why does the pygame window not close properly?
pygame, python
Solution
A quote from an article that sports code very similar to yours:
The window now persists whilst 'running' is equal to True, which it will be until you close the window (by clicking the X). Note that if you use an IDE for Python programming, then it may interfere with Pygame. This isn’t normally a major problem but it can stop the Pygame window from closing properly. If so, adding pygame.quit() should solve the problem.
Problem
When I go to close the program window, the program freezes, then I am forced to force quit the program. Why doesn't the program close when the X / Close button is clicked on. I am also using python 2.7 if that matters. ``` import pygame import os, sys from itertools import * from oryxsprites import * from oryxbackground import * running = True while running: backgroundmain() pygame.display.set_caption('OryxGame') #pygame.display.set_icon(biggrasstile) for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False ```
