A common reason for this is a class that manages a resource of some kind, in this case, our screen. This class needs to track where entities are in relation to the screen, and will hold a reference to a pygame variable that lets it draw to the screen. Multiple instances of this class would There are two schools of thought about this pattern: You can use this pattern as we do here, with no extra code. We instead define an instance variable "world" below, and documentation would show users to use that global variable. It would technically be possible for someone to instantiate a "world2 = World()" instance, but doing so would be admonished in documentation and not supported. You could optionally denote this by naming the class _World. Others prefer to have code-level enforcement of this policy. There's a nearly infinite number of ways to do this, including simply keeping a global "_instance_created" variable that gets set to a non-None value after first creation, and then raises an exception on invalid use, or with a bit of cleverness returns the single-instance no matter how hard the user tries to create a new one.
