any help would be apreciated.

Your loop starting on line 129 is only one line long (130)

You should probably also indent lines 131 to 147 to the same level as 130 to make them part of the loop.

Your loop starting on line 129 is only one line long (130)

AKA, infinite loop:

while 1:
        clock.tick(60)

Thanks murtan, that got it working fully.
