[PyGame] Unable to install pygame

[never_too_old]

I have been unable to install pygame and have attempted every fix I can find online without success. I have include error message. Has anyone else encountered this issue.

I think pygame works with python versions 3.13 and earlier. What version of python are you using? You might need to create a virtual environment for 3.13 and use that for running pygame.

I have pygame installed on python 3.9.5.
I did it with PCCharm.
you may want to try this
pip install pygame ce
Good luck, if you find out how to do it with the command prompt
for python 3.9.5 let me know.
