python - Why is my pygame window not opening after I close another window and producing an unexpected error?

I am using this library from github https://github.com/StevePaget/Pygame_Functions/wiki ( i only used methods from this library from lines 18-63 )

I am trying to load the pygame window for my actual game after ( lines 66+) after the menu() function has finished

The problem is that I am getting these errors for no apparent reason, I am most concerned with the video initialisation error as it seems irrelevant to my program, the other errors I just do not understand as my program should logically work, as far as I understand.

Answer 1

You get the error video system not initialized because you called pygame.quit() beforehand (it's called by the end() function).

It even says so in the wiki of the library you use:

end()

Note: Any graphical commands which appear after the window has closed will raise an error.

There's usually no reason to call pygame.quit() at all, so I suggest to just remove it.

If you really want to close a window and open a new one, you can initialze the pygame module again (pygame.init()) and create a new window (pygame.display.set_mode(...)). But usually you're better of to restructure your code.
