The activity must create a single PygameCanvas widget:
self._canvas = sugargame.canvas.PygameCanvas(self)
self._canvas = sugargame.canvas.PygameCanvas(self)

self._canvas.grab_focus()
The activity must call the run_pygame method of the PygameCanvas widget, passing the main loop function of the Pygame program.
# Start the game running.
# Start the game running.
self._canvas.run_pygame(self.game.run)
self._canvas.run_pygame(self.game.run)
