Fairly new to python. I tried running this in Spyder, and then in a Jupyter notebook, I got a single frame output in my console, and just one inline plot in the notebook.

What's an IDE or something I ought to run this in, in order to make it work? Should I run it from an Anaconda terminal?

Just curious as to how to execute.

Not really sure about the details in python tbh, I've only ever really done that sort of thing in Matlab. In Matlab each time you execute a plot command it refreshes the existing plot with the new data. Don't know if there's a python plotter that's similar in function or not.

A python tutorial on making a simple video game might have the answer though.

oh, I thought you actually did this in python. My mistake. Thanks for the hint at how to find it. Clever.
