pygame square following mouse cursor
When I run a pygame program, a white square (about 15px by 15px) follows my cursor around the window. This happens on the most basic pygame program and a few others, too.
My most basic pygame program:
import pygame, sys
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((500,500))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
pygame.display.update()
# --- Limit to 60 frames per second
clock.tick(30)
Why is this happening? Is it my code, my system, or Pygame?
I am running python 3.7, pygame 1.9.4, and macOS 10.13.6.
EDIT:
After running the same program on Crouton (linux) there is no square.

hmm so im on windows but you could try callingpygame.display.flip()instead ofpygame.display.update()also if you plan on doing animation you should addDISPLAYSURF.fill(color)after you call the update/flip
