trying to get .fill to work not sure wha i seemed to miss

Question

As stated in the title I can't seem to get .fill to work.


test_surface = pygame.Surface((100,200))
test_surface.fill((255,255,255))

pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

run = True

while run:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                 run = False

I tried moving the test surface inputs into the loop right before the "for event in pygame.event.get()" and it didn't work. still stuck with a black screen. I also tried using the actual color instead of the value ex "Red" but that still didn't work.

I also tried changing the bottom half of the code to try and get it to work.

 
while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:  
            pygame.quit()    
            exit()

It still didn't work and was stuck with a black screen. I also tried to move the test surface inputs right under the " while true: " as I thought if they were in the loop it would change something but it didn't. Any help is greatly apricated.

You're calling `.fill()` on a `Surface`, which is an entirely different thing than your actual display screen. You'd need to blit that `Surface` to the screen for anything to be visible. — jasonharper, Dec 01 '22 at 16:42
You have to `blit` the surface (`test_surface`) onto the screen. — Rabbid76, Dec 01 '22 at 16:42
