You have to set a display mode first with pygame.display.set_mode.

Otherwise, pygame.display.get_surface() will return None:

pygame.display.get_surface()
Get a reference to the currently set display surface
get_surface() -> Surface
Return a reference to the currently set display Surface. If no display mode has been set this will return None.

Also, you usually don't need that function, since set_mode already returns the display Surface.

I think your method "fill()" needs a color argument:

fill() fill Surface with a solid color fill(color, rect=None, special_flags=0) -> Rect

the documentation: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html#pygame.Surface.fill

You are right but that error will only occur after the NoneType error was fixed
