Using cx_Freeze to convert pygame to exe

Question

I don't have any previous experience in using pygame, but by following an online tutorial I managed to create a Flappy Bird game. I want to turn the script into an .exe file to share with my friends. I created a setup.py file like this:

import cx_Freeze
import os

executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("script.py")]

assets = ['res/assets/' + each for each in os.listdir('C:/Users/MehmetSanisoglu/Desktop/Game/res/assets')]
sounds = ['res/sound/' + each for each in os.listdir('C:/Users/MehmetSanisoglu/Desktop/Game/res/sound')]
files = assets + sounds
files.append('res/04B_19.TTF') #Add the font file

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name="Flappy",
    options={"build_exe": {"packages":['pygame','sys','random'],
                           "include_files":files}},
    executables = executables
)

When I run cmd in the directory where script.py and setup.py are in it builds, however, in the created build file I can't find a "Flappy.exe", but there is one "script.exe". When I run script.exe it opens up a command line for a split second in which I could see the following lines:

running build
running build_exe
