This is definitely a pygame question. So let's grab the docos for that
set_mode function.

https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html#pygame.display.set_mode

You're passing two parameters in each of your examples. The first is a
tuple of (w,h) for the dimensions; the second is a constant for the
mode you want. The name of the second argument is "flags", according
to the documentation. That usually means that you can provide
multiple. The exact mechanism for combining flags is given in the last
paragraph of the docs. I'll let you take the credit for figuring out
the details yourself :)
