title: Closing Pygame Window
body: <p>I just spent a fair amount of time finding a 64-bit installation of pygame to use with python 3.3, (<a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame%20/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>) and now am trying to make a window. However, although the window opens up fine it does not close when it hit the x button. In fact, I have to close IDLE to close the window. I am running a 64 bit version of Win 7. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pygame
  import time
  (width, height) = (300, 200)
  screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
  pygame.display.flip()
  pygame.display.set_caption("Hello World")
  running = True
  while running:
      for event in pygame.event.get():
          if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
              running = False
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I append</p>
  
  <pre><code>time.sleep(5)
  pygame.quit()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It still doesn't close. My only guess would be that pygame.quit might go inside one of the loops, but even if that were resolved I would greatly prefer being able to close the window when I want to. </p>
