Generally its done this way ...
You had some indentation problems, and filled the screen black after drawing the image. Also, don't put the file loading into the event loop or it will keep loading and loading ...

import pygame # optional pygame.init() # create the screen (or pygame window) screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600)) # fill the screen black (default) screen.fill((0, 0, 0)) # pick an image you have (.bmp .jpg .png .gif) # if the image file is not in the working folder, # use the full pathname # convert() is optional for higher speed image = pygame.image.load('image.jpg').convert() # draw image and position the image ulc at x=10, y=10 screen.blit(image, (10,10)) # nothing gets displayed until one updates the screen pygame.display.flip() # start event loop and wait until # the user clicks on the window corner x while True: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: raise SystemExit
May 'the Google' be with you!
