so im working on a school project and i wanted to finish it in like the next 3 days (its a pong game) and im starting to get better at it but there is one problem. . . idk what to use for like coding. If i wanna use Thonny I'd have to do it over some github link and i cant download ''pygames'' on it cause its not shown as a real app on my pc only as a folder and i have been trying so much the past 30 minutes that my brain is exploding. i dont wanna start with Python itself. . . its so scary like there is nothing on it just void and lines to type in. . .

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

strange gate May 21, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

#

#

unique atlas May 21, 2026, 5:13 PM

#

strange gate i understand alot of nothing

Look up that error
One of the things you have to understand of programming: Errors tell you where it's wrong.

strange gate May 21, 2026, 5:14 PM

Yes.

strange gate May 21, 2026, 5:14 PM

#

unique atlas May 21, 2026, 5:15 PM

Unless it's your own code error, in that case, read the error and it'll tell you where it failed.

pygame is just a package you used
