How do I structure a game loop in Pygame?

To structure a game loop in Pygame, you typically follow these steps: initialize Pygame, create a game window, and then enter a loop that handles events, updates game state, and renders graphics.

What should I include in the event handling part?

In the event handling part, you should check for events like quitting the game, key presses, and mouse movements. Use pygame.event.get() to retrieve the events.

How do I update the game state?

To update the game state, you modify the positions of game objects, check for collisions, and update scores based on the game's logic.

Can you give me a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic structure:

import pygame

pygame.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))

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

    # Update game state here

    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))  # Clear screen
    # Draw game objects here

    pygame.display.flip()  # Update the display

pygame.quit()
