pycharm not displaying my images and chessboard

Question

I've been following a youtube tutorial on how to create a chessboard but it doesn't display my board or my pieces

I have two separate python files one called ChessMain which handles user input and outputs the current game state and ChessEngine which stores the information about the current state of the chess game. ChessMain code:

import pygame as p
from Chess import ChessEngine


width = height = 400  #512 alt
dimension = 8  #8x8
sq_size = height // dimension
max_fps = 15
images = {}


def load_images():
    pieces = ["wp", "wR", "wN", "wB", "wQ", "wK", "bp", "bR", "bN", "bB", "bQ", "bK"]
    for piece in pieces:
        images[piece] = p.transform.scale(p.image.load("images/" + piece + ".png"), (sq_size, sq_size))
        print("images/" + piece + ".png")

def main():
    p.init()
    screen = p.display.set_mode((width, height))
    clock = p.time.Clock()
    screen.fill(p.Color(255,255,255))
    gs = ChessEngine.GameState()
    load_images()
    running = True
    while running:
        for i in p.event.get():
            if i.type == p.QUIT:
                running = False
        drawgamestate(screen, gs)
        clock.tick(max_fps)
        p.display.flip()


def drawgamestate(screen, gs):
    drawboard(screen)
    drawpieces(screen, gs.board)


def drawboard(screen):
    colours = [p.Color(255,255,255), p.Color(128,128,128)]
    for i in range(dimension):
        for e in range(dimension):
            colour = colours[(i+e) % 2]
            p.draw.rect(screen, colour, p.Rect(e * sq_size, i * sq_size, sq_size, sq_size))


def drawpieces(screen, board):
    for i in range(dimension):
        for e in range(dimension):
            piece = board[i][e]
            if piece != "--":
                screen.blit(images[piece], p.Rect(i * sq_size, e * sq_size, sq_size, sq_size))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

ChessEngine:

class GameState:
    def __init__(self):
        self.board = [
            #first character is colour second is type
                ["bR", "bN", "bB", "bQ", "bK", "bB", "bN", "bR"],
                ["bp", "bp", "bp", "bp", "bp", "bp", "bp", "bp"],
                ["--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--"],
                ["--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--"],
                ["--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--"],
                ["--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--", "--"],
                ["wp", "wp", "wp", "wp", "wp", "wp", "wp", "wp"],
                ["wR", "wN", "wB", "wQ", "wK", "wB", "wN", "wR"]]
        self.whiteToMove = True
        self.moveLog = []

when I run the code it doesn't display anything, neither the board nor the pieces — bigvideostudios, Jul 13 '22 at 12:09
So what is the error message? There is no problem with the code. The problem is probably with your system. — Rabbid76, Jul 13 '22 at 12:28
there is no error message, do you know how i could fix the system then? — bigvideostudios, Jul 13 '22 at 12:59
See [How to use a dictionary of images with sprite?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66467383/how-to-use-a-dictionary-of-images-with-sprite/66514748#66514748) — Rabbid76, Jul 14 '22 at 20:28
@bigvideostudios In order to help you further, we need more information about your system. On which operating system are you running this code? Which version of python and pygame are you using? — The_spider, Jul 15 '22 at 10:17
I recreated the folder with the images and the problem fixed — bigvideostudios, Jul 19 '22 at 17:01
