Running from script does not work

[Mambouna]

The documentations states that pgzero can be used with for example IDLE by using import pgzrun and pgzrun.go() at the start and end of the script. This doesn't seem to work however, as creating an actor results in the following error being thrown when trying to run it:

pygame.error: No video mode has been set

A minimal example for reproduction would be:

import pgzrun

apple = Actor("apple")

def draw():
    screen.clear()
    apple.draw()

pgzrun.go()

I'll check for reasons and maybe open a PR tomorrow.

Seeing this as well. It appears the import does not fully initialize all the parts needed, unlike using pgzrun from the command line.

Running the following from Thonny:

import pgzrun

WIDTH = 300
HEIGHT = 300

beep = tone.create('E4', 0.5)

def draw():
    screen.fill((128, 0, 0))

def on_mouse_down(pos):
    beep.play()

pgzrun.go()

This works when the file is run from the terminal via pgzrun
