Pygame Multiple Windows

I know Pygame works because I can make calls to the Pygame modules. My problem is, when I try to open a window through Pygame using. Screen = pygame.display.setmode((468, 60)) it opens a window, but then lags, and finally crashes and I have to use the oh-so-lovable Crtl-Alt-Del to kill it. I'm new to programming, python and pygame. This is some code I wrote to draw random colored rectangles on an 800 x 600 canvas. It does what I expected it to do but becomes unresponsive if I click anywhere on the window. I am on a 64 bit windows 7 system running 32 bit python 2.7 with the appropriate pygame 1.9.1.

pygame module to control the display window and screen

pygame.display.init	—	initialize the display module
pygame.display.quit	—	uninitialize the display module
pygame.display.get_init	—	true if the display module is initialized
pygame.display.set_mode	—	initialize a window or screen for display
pygame.display.get_surface	—	get a reference to the currently set display surface
pygame.display.flip	—	update the full display Surface to the screen
pygame.display.update	—	update portions of the screen for software displays
pygame.display.get_driver	—	get the name of the pygame display backend
pygame.display.Info	—	Create a video display information object
pygame.display.get_wm_info	—	Get information about the current windowing system
pygame.display.list_modes	—	get list of available fullscreen modes
pygame.display.mode_ok	—	pick the best color depth for a display mode
pygame.display.gl_get_attribute	—	get the value for an opengl flag for the current display
pygame.display.gl_set_attribute	—	request an opengl display attribute for the display mode
pygame.display.get_active	—	true when the display is active on the display
pygame.display.iconify	—	iconify the display surface
pygame.display.toggle_fullscreen	—	switch between fullscreen and windowed displays
pygame.display.set_gamma	—	change the hardware gamma ramps
pygame.display.set_gamma_ramp	—	change the hardware gamma ramps with a custom lookup
pygame.display.set_icon	—	change the system image for the display window
pygame.display.set_caption	—	set the current window caption
pygame.display.get_caption	—	get the current window caption
pygame.display.set_palette	—	set the display color palette for indexed displays

This module offers control over the pygame display. Pygame has a single displaySurface that is either contained in a window or runs full screen. Once youcreate the display you treat it as a regular Surface. Changes are notimmediately visible onscreen, you must choose one of the two flipping functionsto update the actual display.

Pygame can currently only handle one single window at a time. Creating a second window by calling pygame.display.setmode ((x,y)) a second time will close the first window. Changing the depths argument is almost never required - pygame will select the best one by itself.

The origin of the display, where x = 0, and y = 0 is the top left of thescreen. Both axis increase positively towards the botom right of the screen.

The pygame display can actually be initialized in one of several modes. Bydefault the display is a basic software driven framebuffer. You can requestspecial modules like hardware acceleration and OpenGL support. These arecontrolled by flags passed to pygame.display.set_mode().

Pygame can only have a single display active at any time. Creating a new onewith pygame.display.set_mode() will close the previous display. If precisecontrol is needed over the pixel format or display resolutions, use thefunctions pygame.display.mode_ok(), pygame.display.list_modes(), andpygame.display.Info() to query information about the display.

Once the display Surface is created, the functions from this module effect thesingle existing display. The Surface becomes invalid if the module isuninitialized. If a new display mode is set, the existing Surface willautomatically switch to operate on the new display.

Then the display mode is set, several events are placed on the pygame eventqueue. pygame.QUIT is sent when the user has requested the program toshutdown. The window will receive pygame.ACTIVEEVENT events as the displaygains and loses input focus. If the display is set with thepygame.RESIZABLE flag, pygame.VIDEORESIZE events will be sent when theuser adjusts the window dimensions. Hardware displays that draw direct to thescreen will get pygame.VIDEOEXPOSE events when portions of the window mustbe redrawn.

pygame.display.init()¶

init() -> None

Initializes the pygame display module. The display module cannot do anythinguntil it is initialized. This is usually handled for you automatically whenyou call the higher level pygame.init().

Pygame will select from one of several internal display backends when it isinitialized. The display mode will be chosen depending on the platform andpermissions of current user. Before the display module is initialized theenvironment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be set to control which backendis used. The systems with multiple choices are listed here.

On some platforms it is possible to embed the pygame display into an alreadyexisting window. To do this, the environment variable SDL_WINDOWID mustbe set to a string containing the window id or handle. The environmentvariable is checked when the pygame display is initialized. Be aware thatthere can be many strange side effects when running in an embedded display.

It is harmless to call this more than once, repeated calls have no effect.

pygame.display.quit()¶

quit() -> None

This will shut down the entire display module. This means any activedisplays will be closed. This will also be handled automatically when theprogram exits.

It is harmless to call this more than once, repeated calls have no effect.

pygame.display.get_init()¶

get_init() -> bool

Returns True if the module is currently initialized.

pygame.display.set_mode()¶

set_mode(resolution=(0,0), flags=0, depth=0) -> Surface

This function will create a display Surface. The arguments passed in arerequests for a display type. The actual created display will be the bestpossible match supported by the system.

The resolution argument is a pair of numbers representing the width andheight. The flags argument is a collection of additional options. The depthargument represents the number of bits to use for color.

The Surface that gets returned can be drawn to like a regular Surface butchanges will eventually be seen on the monitor.

If no resolution is passed or is set to (0, 0) and pygame uses SDLversion 1.2.10 or above, the created Surface will have the same size as thecurrent screen resolution. If only the width or height are set to 0, theSurface will have the same width or height as the screen resolution. Using aSDL version prior to 1.2.10 will raise an exception.

It is usually best to not pass the depth argument. It will default to thebest and fastest color depth for the system. If your game requires aspecific color format you can control the depth with this argument. Pygamewill emulate an unavailable color depth which can be slow.
