This blog will tell you how you can install PyGame on a Mac OS
Now PyGame is a cross-platform set of modules in the Python programming language. These modules are designed for writing video games. Thus PyGame includes computer graphics and sound libraries that have been created to be used with the Python programming language.
Now that we have installed Python on the Mac, we can go on to install PyGame.
Installation of PyGame on Mac:
- Start by opening the Spotlight search bar on your Mac. You can do this by taking your cursor to the top right corner of your desktop and clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
- Once you have opened the Spotlight search bar, type terminal in the bar to open the terminal.
- Now type
pip3. - If you see a bunch of general options on the screen, it means that pip is already installed on your MacBook.
- Now type
pip3 install pygameas shown in this (below) image.
Pygame isn’t updated for python 3.11, but you can still install a pre-version with pip install pygame --pre
The installation will start at this point and you need to wait till the PyGame installation is done. You’ll know it’s done when you see a message (as shown below) saying successfully installed pygame.
To test if PyGame has been installed on your Mac, open IDLE by typing IDLE in your Spotlight search bar.
Then type import pygame as shown in the image.
If you do not see any error, it means that PyGame has been successfully installed on your Mac.
