[Tutor] Help with Pygame

Hi there,

I just recently bought a new computer back in december and installed python
on my computer. However, for some reason, I can't run pygame successfully.

 I am using Pycharm and using my system interpreter of python 3.7, which I
installed using homebrew in the terminal. I've installed the pygame module
and the code runs fine (the message "Hello from the pygame community" pops
up in the console). In addition, a pop-up window called "pygame window"
opens, but nothing in my test code after my for loop works. I've tried
looking for a lot of solutions online and deleted and redownloaded python a
few times and I'm quite new to Pycharm so I'm not sure if this is a pycharm
or python problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Sidenote: is there an easy way I can get back to "square one" with python
without damaging the python that inherently comes with my computer?

Thank you!
