Why does my game only run in Visual Studio Code?
Asked by

I'm working on a platformer game using Pygame, and it runs perfectly fine in Visual Studio Code. However, when I try to run it directly from the file, I encounter an error. Here's the code snippet I'm using for reference.

It's possible you aren’t running the same Python version outside of VScode. Make sure to check which Python version you’re using when running it directly.

What error do you get when you try running it directly? It might help to figure out the issue better.

Visual Studio Code might run your scripts in a different working directory than where they are located. You should try changing the settings or running your game from its own directory for better results.

You might be using different Python interpreters. One could have the modules like Pygame installed, while the other is just the default Python without those modules. That's a common issue.
