import pygame
from pgcenteredbutton import Button, BadButton 

if __name__ == "__main__":
    
    pygame.init()
    clock = pygame.time.Clock()

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 1000))
    button_color = (200, 200, 200)
    button_center = (350, 500)
    button_dim = (300, 100)
    
    good_button = Button(screen = screen, text = 'GOOD', color = button_color, center = button_center, dim = button_dim)
