⚙️ Setup

1. Install Python 3.12

Download from https://www.python.org/downloads/
✔ Check "Add Python to PATH" during installation.

2. Install Pygame

3. Place files together

game_window.py and bike_nobg.png must be in the same folder.

🕹️ Controls

Input	Action
Window X button	Closes the window properly

---

🧠 How the Code Works

Function	Purpose
pygame.init()	Starts all pygame modules
set_mode((800, 600))	Creates the 800×600 window
set_caption(...)	Sets the window title bar text
pygame.event.get()	Listens for the close button
pygame.QUIT	Event fired when X is clicked
screen.blit(sprite, (x, y))	Draws the sprite onto the screen
font.render(...)	Converts text string to a drawable surface
pygame.display.flip()	Pushes the drawn frame to the screen
pygame.quit() + sys.exit()	Shuts everything down cleanly

---

🔧 Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
ModuleNotFoundError: pygame	Run pip install pygame
Image not loading	Make sure bike_nobg.png is in the same folder as game_window.py
Wrong Python version	Use Python 3.12, not 3.14
Timeout during pip install	Run pip install pygame --timeout 300
