#character
    pygame.draw.circle(win, (11,3,252), (x, y), 14)
    pygame.time.delay(0)

    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()

I have tried increasing the time delay, but it still flickers. Please help me fix it so it will be a constant image and so my circle character is visible on the image. The problem arose once I put the image in, but then it would flicker a lot. Now it flickers not as much, but it still flickers very often. If I try to take out the first pygame.display.update() the background image doesn't even load (with a pygame.display.update() at the end of the code).

  • Welcome to Stack Overflow. Do any of the [previous questions](https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bpygame%5D+flicker) about flickering in Pygame cover your issue? Did you try to [use a search engine](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pygame+flicker) to investigate possible causes, [as expected](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/261592/)? Are you familiar with `pygame.display.flip`, for example from [following a tutorial](https://www.pygame.org/wiki/tutorials)? – Karl Knechtel Apr 13 '22 at 19:28
