— as and noted, a short runnable snippet is required to diagnose this reliably. Meanwhile, the problem described (black window during runtime, image visible only briefly on close) can be isolated quickly with a few targeted checks and a minimal test script.

Try these checks in order:

  • Run the script from a terminal to see any error messages instead of double-clicking an icon. Silent failures are common when errors are suppressed.
  • Verify the image path and working directory (use a quick file-exists check). A wrong relative path means pygame.image.load will fail or raise.
  • Ensure the main loop processes events and calls pygame.display.flip() / pygame.display.update() each frame. Without an event loop the window can appear black or unresponsive.
  • Confirm the image is blitted before calling flip() and that the blit coordinates are inside the display surface bounds.
  • Avoid long blocking calls (like time.sleep) in the loop and avoid catching exceptions with a bare except: that hides load errors.
  • If using sprite groups, make sure group.draw(screen) is called each frame and the background fill does not overwrite sprites.

A minimal working pattern that isolates the issue:

import pygame, sys
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
img = pygame.image.load('myimage.png').convert_alpha()
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
running = True
while running:
    for e in pygame.event.get():
        if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))
    screen.blit(img, (0, 0))
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(60)
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

If that minimal script shows the image correctly, compare it line-by-line with the original project to find where display updates or event handling differs. When asking for further help, include a short runnable example, the image filename/location, Python and pygame versions, and any console output.

Can't offer any suggestions unless we see the code.

We would need to see the code in order to determine anything about it. Please post your code (in the message directly, using the Code Block '</>' button), or at least post a link to your public repository, if you have one (which is highly recommended, even if it a small personal project). Please do not use pastebin or anything similar, nor should you post a screenshot - we would need to see all of the code, in an editable form.
