Does anyone know how to code a splash screen in python with pygame imported?

Question

I am currently working on a project in python and I am struggling to find any code that will create a splash screen. I am a complete beginner in coding a game but I decided to challenge myself and create something complex. If you are able to help me, thank you in advance.

I asked ChatGPT to generate a demo code for this task.

import pygame
import sys

# Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()

# Splash screen settings
splash_width, splash_height = 600, 400
splash_screen = pygame.display.set_mode((splash_width, splash_height))
pygame.display.set_caption("Splash Screen")

# Main game settings
game_width, game_height = 800, 600
game_screen = None # The main game screen will be initialized later

# Colors
BLACK = (0, 0, 0)
WHITE = (255, 255, 255)

# Load splash screen image
splash_image = pygame.Surface((splash_width, splash_height))
splash_image.fill((0, 100, 200)) # Just a placeholder color
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 74)
text = font.render("Splash Screen", True, WHITE)
splash_image.blit(text, (150, 160))

# Display the splash screen
def show_splash_screen():
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
splash_duration = 3000 # milliseconds (3 seconds)
start_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()

while pygame.time.get_ticks() - start_time < splash_duration:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

splash_screen.fill(BLACK)
splash_screen.blit(splash_image, (0, 0))
pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

# Main game loop
def main_game():
global game_screen
game_screen = pygame.display.set_mode((game_width, game_height))
pygame.display.set_caption("Main Game")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
running = True

while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False

game_screen.fill((50, 50, 150)) # Placeholder for game screen
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 50)
text = font.render("Main Game Screen", True, WHITE)
game_screen.blit(text, (250, 280))

pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

# Run the program
if __name__ == "__main__":
show_splash_screen()
main_game()
