Why text display for 2 seconds in pygame

Question

Text wchich I display is displaying for only around 2 sec. I want that it will display while I click to other area

elif msg[0:7] == 'YOU WIN' and Message_id == '200':
    print('You Win')
    textSurface = font.render('You Win', True, (0, 0, 0))
    largeText = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 115)
    TextSurf = pygame.font.render('You Win', True, (0, 0, 0))
    TextRect = textSurface.get_rect()
    TextRect.center = ((600 / 2), (700 // 2))
    surface.blit(TextSurf, TextRect)
    grid.draw(surface)
    pygame.display.flip()
    break

Do you mean like a simple pop-up message that disappears after 2 seconds? Can you explain a bit more how the "click" in another area works with it? — Kingsley, Jun 19 '20 at 02:44
Yes, like a pop-up but the background of the text is transparent. This is tic tac toe game. If I click in choosen area on the board display X or O. If I click of the bootom of window the player start the game — Kamil Stępniewski, Jun 19 '20 at 06:51

If you want something to be drawn permanently, you need to draw it in the application loop. The typical PyGame application loop has to:

handle the events by either pygame.event.pump() or pygame.event.get().
update the game states and positions of objects dependent on the input events and time (respectively frames)
clear the entire display or draw the background
draw the entire scene (blit all the objects)
update the display by either pygame.display.update() or pygame.display.flip()

Create the text surface at initialization:

winTextSurf = font.render('You Win', True, (0, 0, 0))
winTextRect = winTextSurf.get_rect(topleft = (600 // 2, 700 // 2)

Add a variable that indicates the text needs to be drawn:

drawWinText = Fasle

Set the variable if the text needs to be drawn:

elif msg[0:7] == 'YOU WIN' and Message_id == '200':
    drawWinText = True
    break

When you no longer want the text to be drawn, you need to reset the value.

drawWinText = False

Draw the text in the main application loop depending on the status of drawWinText:

while run:

    # [...]

    if drawWinText:
        surface.blit(winTextSurf, winTextRect)

    pygame.display.flip()

See the answers to question Python - Pygame - rendering translucent text for how to draw transparent text.
