Pygame error: display surface quit: Why?

Question

Can anyone tell me why my app quits with:

pygame error: display Surface quit.

Answer 1

I had this problem too, but got it from another origin.

I had a class defined like this:

class PauseMenu(pygame.Surface)

i got the error when forgetting to initialize the pygame.Surface and trying to blit it, making pygame.screen crash and gave me this error.

so i just added this obviously

pygame.Surface.__init__(self, (width, height))
