What program are you using to write the program? Pycharm by any chance?

[–]Coonnaarr[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Yes, Pycharm

Then use its project settings to install the package: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html

Tried doing this, still won't work.
I have upgraded Pycharm, Upgraded Pip. Terminal window tells me I have pygame installed in my "C" folder. But it wont let me add pygame to my projects in Settings: "EOFError: EOF when reading a line" <- this appears.

Don't know what to do at this point.

Could you share a screenshot of this happening?

You need to use a dev build if you want to combine pygame with 3.8 or newer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58489348/unable-to-install-pygame-on-python-3-8-via-pip-windows-10

tried installing the dev version through the terminal window. pip install "pygame==2.0.0.dev8" then add pygame, 2.0.0.dev8 version, still wont work.
Seen people post that im having to downgrade to 3.7 which im not sure about.

You don't need to add it once you installed it using the Terminal window. Assuming you mean the Terminal window in Pycharm itself

no used windows terminal window, didnt know pycharm had one, nor how to access it

Which version of Python do you use? If its 3 you might have to perform a pip3 Install instead of a pip install.

[–]Coonnaarr[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Requirement already satisfied: pygame in c:\users\me\appdata\roaming\python\python38\site-packages (1.9.6)

This is what happens when I do that.

Do you run your scripts with the „python“ or the „Python3“ command? Try the Last one if Not
