Python Pygame Newbie Code Help

[johtnkucz]

Hi, I execute the following code and just get a blank (black) window. The window caption shows but I have not yet gotten the images to load. Please help. (I tried using other images than the ones utilized too). the .py and the images are in the same directory.

background_image_filename='checkmark.jpg'
mouse_image_filename='digestive_bw.png'
import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import*
from sys import exit

pygame.init()

screen=pygame.display.set_mode((800,800),0,32)
#pygame.display.set_caption("Hello, Howdy, Mate, and Hi there Aus world!")

background=pygame.image.load(background_image_filename).convert()
mouse_cursor=pygame.image.load(mouse_image_filename).convert_alpha()

while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

screen.blit(background,(0,0))

x,y=pygame.mouse.get_pos()
x-=mouse_cursor.get_width() /2
y=-mouse_cursor.get_height() /2
screen.blit(mouse_cursor,(x,y))

pygame.display.update()
