Why do I keep getting "Python quits unexpectedly" and errors when trying to run Pygame?

Question

I tried to run these lines using Pycharm but I always get this error: import pygame pygame.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500)) I manage to import and initialize Pygame just fine but I cannot run any code after that. A window also pops up saying that my Python quits unexpectedly.

What are the Python, pygame and OS versions? Where did you get pygame from? — NoDataDumpNoContribution, Dec 30 '20 at 09:28

For some reason, full screen mode doesn't work on Mac OS. To work around the problem, turn off full screen mode.
