The graphic in my project using turtle library doesn't appear on my screen

Question

import turtle

fondo = turtle.Screen()

fondo.setup(width=500, height=500, startx=750, starty=300)

fondo.bgcolor("blue")

There's no TypeError or NameError in my project, so it's rare that this is happening. I'm using Pycharm for this project. Thank you

What "graphic" were you expecting to appear? All this code should do is create a blank blue screen. — jasonharper, Jul 18 '22 at 15:31

it work fine for me I run the script on my phone and it executed with no error. Could you check if you have installed a python compiler, cuz pycharm is just an ide.

You need compiler to run high level programming languages eg python, c++, java but you can run assembly on any device, c programming languages can run on windows also.

It probably does appear, but very quickly closes again. You didn't transfer control to the event handler so the program started and then immediately quit. Add a mainloop() at the end to transfer control:

import turtle

fondo = turtle.Screen()

fondo.setup(width=500, height=500, startx=750, starty=300)

fondo.bgcolor("blue")

# the rest of your code goes here

fondo.mainloop()

This is true for standard Python/turtle, under PyCharm, things might work differently.
