There's sure something strange about your formatting
you want something like this I think:
rect_x = 50
rect_y = 50
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
done = True
On a related note in addition to Steven's 2 suggestions
- paste 1 line at a time
- Write the code in a py file
you could also try it out without Idle
ie start python at your shell (or terminal or cmd.exe or whatever)
And try it there
