    # to "clear" the previous frame before drawing new things.

    # Update the display
    pygame.display.flip() # Or pygame.display.update()
    # Supplementary Explanation: pygame.display.flip()
    # This command makes everything you've drawn on the 'screen' surface actually visible on your monitor.
    # Think of it as showing the completed drawing to the player.
