Hi @starlightknown, thank you for reaching out.

Does the program run if you run it in the terminal directly? A quick search for pygame.error: No available video device returns a couple of Stack Overflow questions, are they any of the answers that are relevant to your use case?

[starlightknown]

no it doesn't and yes I tried all those solutions from stackoverflow , they didn't work. One solution which was import pygame pygame.init() pygame.display.list_modes() did something but raised another error video not initialized

[kimadeline]

If your program doesn't run in the terminal, then it isn't a problem with the extension itself, but with your program. As such, I will move your question to a discussion.

There appear to be some potential answers on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15933493/pygame-error-no-available-video-device.
