Whatever script I run in python (pygame) it always show the following black box:

However if I run the same script on my windows laptop it will show the correct output.

For Reference this is the code I have used to test, however I have tried other code and it is still the same result, it displays correctly on my Windows laptop but not on Mac.

import pygame
pygame.init()

win = pygame.display.set_mode((500,500))

I am using pygame==2.0.0.dev14 (Mac) and Windows just pygame 2.00, and am using python 3.8.6 on Mac and python 3.7 on windows.

I am sure that I have done something very stupid but any help would be greatly appriciated.

Is that all the code? You don't actually update or draw to the window at all? – Kingsley Nov 04 '20 at 21:08
Is there any reason why you're not using pygame2.0.0 on the Mac? – import random Nov 05 '20 at 01:11
@Kingsley This was just what I was using to see if it actually created a black box, I have tried drawing to the window but I still get the same window displaying – Josephbrad1234 Nov 05 '20 at 17:41
