I think this file runs on python3. How do I upgrade

Hello, this is a project that I can't credit for but it runs on Python 3. I'll bear the fact that most of my scripts may wobble but can you upgrade me to python 3, please?

You're on a very old system image -- you can upgrade to more recent one which supports Python up to 3.9 (see: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage/). Ther error which you're getting, however, is most probably related to the fact, that PythonAnywhere is a headless environment (non-GUI), so there's no screen attached. Hence pygame will not run properly on PA.
