Pygame: get rid of the window code

Here is an example of how to create a window with pygame outside of the main module.

I use this folder design:

Then I import the file with the window code in the main.py file

import pygame as pg
from func.window import *


Window((400, 400))

In the func folder I will put the window.py module with this script

import pygame as pg


class Window:
    def __init__(self, windowsize):
        self.windowsize = windowsize
        self.start()

    def start(self):
        screen = pg.display.set_mode(self.windowsize)
        timer = pg.time.Clock()
        def quit(e):
            "Check if you press x button or escape key"
            quit = e.type == pg.QUIT
            escape = e.type == pg.KEYDOWN and e.key == pg.K_ESCAPE
            game = 0 if quit or escape else 1
            return game
        game = 1
        while game:
            for e in pg.event.get():
                game = quit(e)
            screen.fill((0, 0, 0))
            pg.display.update()
            timer.tick(60)
        pg.quit()

Notice I made a function to handle the quit button and the escape key to close the window. In a future post I will post other code to make a modular approach to a pygame game like a platformer or some other 2d game.
