Setting up programing environment
Journey
OK. To start journey with PyGame we will need Python installed. See http://python.org for Python 2.5 because 2.6 or 3.0 may not work :(
I will not show you how to install Python (because it is so simple as "Next -> Next -> Next …").
Installing PyGame
To get PyGame visit http://pygame.org and get the latest PyGame. In Part Two we will discuss optional PyGame modules that requires some additional libraries but don't worry. I will show you how to install them when I will be talking about them.
Linux
Just look at your repos python and pygame are there and waits for you ;)
Now check if PyGame is working
Open python interactive shell and write:
import pygame print pygame.version
output(may be different number):
1.8.1
Version 1.8.1 is latest when I'm writing this words.
