Pygame window can not be closed on a Mac problem

I have made a python program that uses Pygame. For some reason, I can't close the window when pressing the red cross. I tried using Command+Q but it doesn't work as well. I have to quit idle (my python interpreter) to close the window. Is there any other way to make the window close by pressing the red 'x' at the top right-hand corner?
My code:
import pygame
import sys
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,800))
while 1:
pygame.display.update()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

A pygame window can be closed properly if you use a different python interpreter. Try using pycharm, you can close pygame windows using pycharm.

You should just force quit the window or run another program to close the window. When you run a different program, the window should close.

Try this:
import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,800))
while True:
pygame.display.update()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

Pygame unresponsive display
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I Was try to build a game and I was build the interfaces normally, but sundely pygame screen crashed and the pygame screen window becomes unresponsive always I run the a simple program.
import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_caption("Yathezz")
tela = pygame.display.set_mode((600,600))
preto = (0,0,0)
def set_telaPartida(tela,nome__jogador,pontos_totais, situacao):
tela.fill(preto)
#if(situacao == 1):
# set_telaLancaDados(tela,nome__jogador,pontos_totais)
# elif(situacao ==2):
# a = 1
# seta tela perguntando o relançamento
#elif(situacao == 3):
# b= 2
#set_telaRelancaDados
while True:
set_telaPartida(tela,"Lucas",100,1)
#set_telaInst2(tela)
pygame.display.update()
I have done some tests and I suspect that the problem are in this line
pygame.display.update()
But I don't have Idea what's happening. Could someone Help me???

You have to handle the events, by either pygame.event.pump() or pygame.event.get(), to keep the window responding. For instance:
run = Ture
while run:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
set_telaPartida(tela,"Lucas",100,1)
#set_telaInst2(tela)
pygame.display.update()
See the documentation of pygame.event.pump():
For each frame of your game, you will need to make some sort of call to the event queue. This ensures your program can internally interact with the rest of the operating system. If you are not using other event functions in your game, you should call pygame.event.pump() to allow pygame to handle internal actions.
pygame.event.get() calls pygame.event.pump(). The pygame.QUIT occurs when the close button is pressed.

Getting position of user click in pygame

I have a pygame window embedded in a a frame in tkinter. In another frame I have a button which calls the following function when clicked:
def setStart():
global start
# set start position
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
start = event.pos
print("start",start)
break
I am intending for the program to print the position of the place where the user clicked on the pygame surface after the button is clicked. However on the first click of the button and the following click of the pygame surface there is no output. It is on the second click of the button before the corresponding second click on the pygame surface that python prints out an output like :
('start', (166, 115))
How can I get it to give me a result right after the click on the pygame surface? I had the same problem when I had two seperate tkinter and pygame windows so the embedding of pygame into tkinter is unlikely to be the cause of the problem.
EDIT: after further testing it appears that if the button is pressed and then the pygame surface is clicked on multiple times, upon a second click of the button the coordinates of all of these clicks are printed out as a batch.

In the most basic form here's how you do it in pygame:
import pygame
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((100, 100))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
while True:
clock.tick(60)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP: # or MOUSEBUTTONDOWN depending on what you want.
print(event.pos)
elif event.type == pygame.QUIT:
quit()
pygame.display.update()
More information on how to handle pygame events can be found in the docs.
And here's how you do it in tkinter:
try:
import tkinter as tk # Python 3
except ImportError:
import Tkinter as tk # Python 2
root = tk.Tk()
def print_pos(event):
print(event.x, event.y)
root.bind("<Button-1>", print_pos)
root.mainloop()
More information on tkinter events can be found in effbots documentation.
I would suggest not putting break in an event loop in pygame. Doing so makes all other events go un-handled, meaning that it's possible for the program to not respond to certain events.
Your "EDIT: [...]" is unfortunately wrong, given the code you've given us. I had no problem with the code; it printed the position of where I released the mouse button and always printed just one position. So there have to be a logical error somewhere else in your code.

First I have to say that I don't know anything about pygame. However, if you are already using Tkinter, I could help you maybe: I would define a new function (let's call it mouse_click). In the button-click-function I would bind the new function to the game's surface. In the new function I print out the current mouse position:
def button_click(self):
game_surface.bind("<Button-1>", self.mouse_click)
def mouse_click(self, event):
print "X:", event.x
print "Y:", event.y
I hope this is helpful. Please notice that you should modify this code to make it work in your program (using the correct widget names and so on).
By the way, "Button-1" is the event identifier of the left mouse button.

Python Pygame mouse position not updating

I am trying to implement a game using mouse position to see if the user clicks a button. Somehow the mouse position does not update for a couple seconds, and changes to a new position for another couple seconds, and repeat. I moved and pressed the mouse at different location in the screen, but the mouse position did not change at all. (Working on python3.5.1 and pygame 1.9.2, using IDE PyCharm)Any idea?
Here is my code:
done = False
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
done = True
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
if click[0]==1:
print(mouse)
pygame.display.update()

The call
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
doesn't update the position unless the event MouseMotion is executed.
If you are executing the program in a window on a MAC, the mouse must be pressed, held, and moved (if you were to press, hold, then move the mouse, pygame.mouse.get_pos() would return the current mouse position).

There is two ways of handling input events in pygame :
State Checking
Event Handling
For better understanding of how it works :
http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/newbieguide.html#managing-the-event-subsystem
You use both in your code, state checking :
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
Event handling :
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
done = True
If you still want to use state checking to get the mouse position you can add:
clock=pygame.time.Clock()
clock.tick(60) # 60 frames per second
So the update of the position should be better.

If the button has a rect then you can use the rect.collidepoint() method with event checking like this:
mouse_pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and button.rect.collidepoint(mouse_pos):

This drove me crazy for hours. I had a similar problem.
Using pygame in:
Mac OSX 10.13 (High Sierra)
pygame 1.9.3
python 3.6
in a virtualenv
In this setup (specifically in the virtualenv), window focus is not properly tracked. Click and dragging will generate a MOUSEMOTION event, but simply moving the mouse around will not. If the MOUSEMOTION event is not generated, calling:
pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
will continue report the same value until another MOUSEMOTION event occurs.
Installing pygame outside of the virtualenv, all works as expected. Not really the answer I was hoping for, but at least it explains the behavior I was seeing.

Your
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
only get the states at the time of the call. As per the documentation http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/mouse.html:
to get all of the mouse events it is better to use either
pygame.event.wait() or pygame.event.get() and check all of those events
That is you are missing the clicks because your program isn't storing them to process. You only see it when you get lucky and the program calls the function when the button is actually down.

This shows a basic pygame mouse getting program. Simply click anywhere in the window and the mouse coordinate are printed:
import pygame as py
py.init()
white = (255,255,255)
window = (400,400)
screen = py.display.set_mode(window)
clock = py.time.Clock()
done = False
while not done:
for event in py.event.get():
if event.type == py.QUIT:
done = True
elif event.type == py.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
print py.mouse.get_pos()
screen.fill(white)
py.display.flip()
clock.tick(30)
py.quit()
hope this helps :)

Why does pygame freeze at pygame.event.get() when you move/drag the window? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Pygame window not responding after a few seconds
(3 answers)
Pygame unresponsive display
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
Basically I have a loop (tick, set_caption, screen_fill, event.get(), send_frame_event, flip, repeat)
When I drag the window around on windows 7, the loop stops looping, I ended up stuck in pygame.event.get(), I have tried to define certain events only for get e.g. get([pygame.QUIT]) to no avail.
Simply calling pygame.event.clear() has the same freeze effect when dragging/moving the window.
Is there a workaround?
Not full code, but should be enough:
def start(self):
self.running = True
Clock = pygame.time.Clock()
while self.running:
self.p += 25
tickFPS = Clock.tick(self.fps)
pygame.display.set_caption("Press Esc to quit. FPS: %.2f" % (Clock.get_fps()))
self.screen.fill([self.p&0xFF,(255-self.p)&0xFF,255])
self.handleEvents()
self.raiseEvent("updateFrame")
pygame.display.flip()
def handleEvents(self):
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
self.running = False
elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
self.running = False
full code at: http://pastie.org/private/wm5vqq3f7xe0xlffy1fq

Try placing a call to pygame.event.pump() inside your mainloop (or handleEvents function)

No idea if this will help or not:
I realize the problem is with moving the window window, not with re-sizing the window.
Perhaps there is some similarity between moving and re-sizing?
I found this in the documentation on re-sizing:
Then the display mode is set, several events are placed on the pygame event queue. pygame.QUIT is sent when the user has requested the program to shutdown. The window will receive pygame.ACTIVEEVENT events as the display gains and loses input focus. If the display is set with the pygame.RESIZABLE flag, pygame.VIDEORESIZE events will be sent when the user adjusts the window dimensions. Hardware displays that draw direct to the screen will get pygame.VIDEOEXPOSE events when portions of the window must be redrawn.
and:
Note that when the user resizes the game window, pygame does not automatically update its internal screen surface. You must call set_mode() every time VIDEORESIZE is sent. This really should be more clear in the documentation.
Perhaps when moving the game window, something similar happens?
