I am having trouble getting the example from pygame.org called "Intro" to compile. I am running the latest version of python and pygame version 1.6. here is the code:
import sys, pygame
pygame.init()
size = width, height = 320, 240
speed = [2, 2]
black = 0, 0, 0
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
ball = pygame.image.load("ball.bmp")
ballrect = ball.get_rect()
while 1:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
ballrect = ballrect = ballrect.move(speed)
if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width:
speed[0] = -speed[0]
if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height:
speed[1] = -speed[1]
screen.fill(black)
screen.blit(ball, ballrect)
pygame.display.flip()
Can anyone help? Edit - Added source box - indentation matters[Edited by - Fruny on August 7, 2004 8:43:30 PM]

My workflow might be entirely wrong. What I do is use notepad and save the files as .py, this gives them the proper icon. When I double click on them, they either bring up a dos window in the back and run, or, if it containing errors (I guess thats it) It breifly brings up the same dos window, but only for a moment then It shuts down. Am I not executing this right? I admit, I don't really understand python.

That's one way to do it, though I far prefer using IDLE which comes with python. This is a nicer editor than just plain notepad, it comes with a debugger and also a python console so when you run a program you can actually read the error messages python gives.
