You'll need to elaborate

quartz flame
#

i went to the website installed a pip and got a newer version of python

#

i cant find the pygame thing on the website

#

im sorry for asking so much btw

stoic oriole
#

You can just use your terminal and use pip install pygame

quartz flame
#

the python terminal or cmd prompt?

#

i just used cmd prompt and it said a bunch of errors

#

if u want photo ill send

stoic oriole
#

You should send we much info as possible

quartz flame
#

ok

quartz flame
#

anyone there?

stoic oriole
#

What a strange error

#

I've never seen that before

quartz flame
#

thats weird

stoic oriole
#

@edgy beacon or @fringe bear may know better than me cause I've never used pygame before

quartz flame
#

oh

#

ok

#

thank you though

shut edge
#

What Python version are you using?

quartz flame
#

3.11

#

i think

#

ill check

shut edge
#

python --version

quartz flame
#

3.11.1

shut edge
#

What does pip -V output?

quartz flame
#

let me check

#

thats what it said

shut edge
#

Did you use the -V flag?

quartz flame
#

thats part of it so let me look

shut edge
#

Has to be a capital V

quartz flame
#

oh

#

ok\

shut edge
#

Hmm

#

Ah

#

Try this:
pip install pygame --pre --user

quartz flame
#

ok

shut edge
#

Pygame 2.1.2 doesn't have wheels for Python 3.11

#

So you'll have to use the dev build until Pygame gets support for 3.11

quartz flame
#

ok

#

so should i search for python dev build?

shut edge
#

No?

#

Run the command

#

That install the dev build of Pygame

quartz flame
#

it worked

#

ty

#

where do i see it rq

#

then ill be good

shut edge
#

See what?

quartz flame
#

the dev build

shut edge
#

The python module you just installed?

quartz flame
#

yes

shut edge
#

"See" it in what way?

quartz flame
#

im new so i dont really know alot

shut edge
#

It's installed, you'll have to write code to use it

quartz flame
#

oh k

shut edge
#

There's no GUIs or anything

quartz flame
#

thank you

shut edge
#

There's the docs for Pygame

quartz flame
#

ok

#

i think im good now

#

tysm for the help

shut edge
#

You can test if Pygame works by running this:
python3 -m pygame.examples.aliens

#

But other than that, you'll have to write code yourself to "see it working" outside that example
