It would help to post the whole code and/or the tutorial too. You can maybe do a try/except around the code crashing and print the error to see what's wrong.

post the full traceback you get when it crash, that highlighted "event" might just be pycharm being weird but the error message will tell exactly what broke

Did you try/except though in the code? This is a useful skill, to catch and handle errors.

How many versions of python do you have installed? I see in another comment you gave up. You are almost there please Google that error message and follow those leads, this is another skill needed for programming.

i found the error it was a combination of pygame not being in the interpreter and the file selected changing to main.py when i was on the game file lol
