Question

The following code causes my game to shut down. I do not know what is the problem with this code.

pygame.font.init()
font=pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
text = font.render("Game Over", 1, (10, 10, 10))
background_image.blit(text, (0,0))
pygame.font.quit()

I want to display this text in the top left corner of the screen. Thanks.

It works for me –
I’d guess your platform is not getting along quite well with the “None” font you are passing – try passing a complete path to a (in disk) font file (a TTF file) as the first parameter to pygame.font.Font –

Also, save your script and run it from the command shell to get hold of proper error messages.

Also, there is no need to call “pygame.font.quit” – just call “pygame.quit” when exiting your program.
