Quitting the game when the window is closed in PyGame

While pygame (python still running) is processing, pygame.quit() closes pygame. It is a function, and QUIT checks if pygame is running. The Size specifies the window's Size depending on your system's resolution; it could be a new number. 

# specify the Size 

SIZE = [400, 400] 

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(SIZE) 

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(SIZE) makes a window with the specified dimensions (400,400). We can also set this as the new window size here. 

An event is an action processed based on the user's action to get the desired result. If a user clicks a button, it is known as a click event. Now, these events are performed by the user and are inserted into a queue known as an event queue. It follows the First In First Out rule, i.e. element inserted first will come out first. Pygame will register all events from the user by pygame.event.get() into an event queue.  

Here is an example of how to quit the game when the window is closed in Pygame: 

Preview of the output that you will get on running this code from your IDE.

Code

In this solution, we used pygame library.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

1. Download and Install the PyCharm Community Edition on your computer.
2. Open the terminal and install the required libraries with the following commands.
3. Install pygame - pip install pygame.
4. Create a new Python file on your IDE.
5. Copy the snippet using the 'copy' button and paste it into your Python file.
6. Run the current file to generate the output.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, and version information in the following sections.

I found this code snippet by searching for ' pygame window freezes on quit ' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

1. The solution is created in PyCharm 2022.3.
2. The solution is tested on Python 3.11.1
3. pygame version- 2.3.0

Using this solution, we are able to freeze the pygame window on quit with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to freeze the pygame window on quit.

Dependent Libraries

If you do not have the pygame library that is required to run this code, you can install them by clicking on the above link.

You can search for any dependent library on kandi like pygame.
