Python Turtle library methods not working

Question

Trying to create a basic snake game and it won't change the colour of the screen or create a turtle object. I've tried using different ways to input color etc, not working. I'm stumped, seems like things should be pretty straightforward at this level. Here's the code:

#Write your code below this line 👇 input('Player name: ')

import turtle as t

screen=t.Screen()
screen.title('WELCOME')
screen.exitonclick()
screen.bgcolor('black')

turtle_obj= t.Turtle()

Answer 1

If you move the screen.exitonclick() to the last line of the code, everything works as you would expect.

This is because exitonclick() binds turtle's bye() method (which shuts the window) to wait for a click instead of just shutting down. It is effectively ending your program, but just waiting for a mouse click to do it.
