cx_Freeze exe file opens and then closes

Question

My code converter code is down here:

import os
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Python35-32\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Python35-32\\tcl\\tk8.6"

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
if __name__.endswith('__main__'):
    setup(name = "Dodge The Blocks",
        version = "2.0",
        description = 'A fun little game for when your bored',
        executables = [Executable(r"C:\Users\Harshal\Desktop\GameWIP.py")]
        )

I also wanted to ask that what does this mean:
```
if __name__.endswith('__main__'):
```

Please take the time to read https://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/distutils.html#distutils-commands for how to create and use a cx_Freeze setup script. Once you have improved your script accordingly, if it still does not work please add the improved script and the full error message to your question. And if you want to use the TCL/TK libraries with cx_Freeze 5.1.1, please refer to [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56495955/8516269). — jpeg, Aug 06 '19 at 07:27

Regarding the first part of your question: see this answer for a working setup script to freeze an application relying on tkinter using cx_Freeze 5.1.1 (and also see my comment to your question)
Regarding the second part of your question
what does this mean:
```
if __name__.endswith('__main__'):
```
See What does if __name__ == "__main__": do?

You probably got the modified version you are using from this issue or a similar one. In any case, this line and its modification might be relevant for the main application, but is not necessary in the setup script and should be removed from there.
