There is a bit of a bug with pygame unfortunately with how it handles not having a graphical display.
This affects use over SSH or other terminal logins.
What you can try is editing the diddyJoy.py script.
Look for the line:
#pygame.display.set_mode((1,1))
and delete the # so it looks like:
pygame.display.set_mode((1,1))
It is a bit confusing, on some installs making this change stops things working correctly.
This is a bug relating to pygame itself sadly.
If that does not work on its own you should be able to run the script in a VNC session.
This will allow access to the graphical system and make pygame happy.
As I mentioned before VNC gets around the problem because it has a graphical output.
SSH has no graphical output so the script needs to disable it manually.
The script should work with the line above either in use (no # at start) or commented out (starting with the # symbol).
Since you had to update the Raspberry Pi software I would try both to see which works with SSH.
