[Python] VS code openai issues

I have been following this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mut_u40Sqz4) on learning to make AIs using OpenAI gym and stable baselines-3. The issue is the env.render is not working, There is no screen appearing at all however there is no error and the AI does still work. I understand that the problem is I am using VS code and just plain .py files over .ipynd files however I would like to continue using VS code in a way I am familiar with.

import os
import gym
from stable_baselines3 import PPO
from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import DummyVecEnv
from stable_baselines3.common.evaluation import evaluate_policy

environment_name = 'CartPole-v0'
env = gym.make(environment_name)

episodes = 5
for episode in range(1, episodes+1):
state = env.reset()
done = False
score = 0

while not done:
env.render()
action = env.action_space.sample()
n_state, reward, done, confusing_thing, info = env.step(action)
score+=reward
print('Episode:{} Score:{}'.format(episode, score))
env.close()


Please help, I do understand that there is no point in using VS code over jupyter notebooks but I rather it and am also curious about how to fix the issue.
