Python PD - Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - PyGame Install

Install Python 3.5 + PyGame

Very excited that I finally found out how to install Python 3.5 and PyGame!

Here's the web page that showed me how. 
(I followed their instructions below, but added more images.)

​
Here's what I actually did to get Python 3 and PyGame working.
(First, I created a folder on my Desktop called "Python" to save these files.)
   1.  Download Python 3.5 (latest version, mine was Python 3.5.2)

   2.  Download PyGame (latest version, mine was pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl)

EVERYTHING IS NOW DOWNLOADED!!

   3.  Install Python 3.5
            (Wherever you saved it, just double-click to install.)
            (Takes 10+ minutes.)

​
​   4.  Copy the PyGame file to this folder: 
            C:\ Users \ <login> \ AppData \ Local \ Programs \ Python \ Python35-32 \ Scripts
            *Note: <login> needs to be replaced with your login name.

   5. a.  Open a Command Prompt
            (Don't know how?  
            Click the Start button
            Underneath "All Programs" it says "Search programs and files"
            In that area, type "cmd" and press Enter)

   5. b.  Inside the Command Prompt, we need to get to this same folder, so type this:
            cd C:\Users\<login>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts
            and press Enter
            (If you don't want to type this all in,
             you can copy this line into Notepad
             and change <login> to your login name
             then copy it from Notepad
             then right-click in the cmd.exe blue window bar
             then choose Edit -> Paste
​             and don't forget to press Enter.)

   5. c.  When you are in this folder, type:
            pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl
            (You can type "pip install pygame" and press Tab to auto-complete)

   5. d.  After it says it is completed successfully, test your install!  
            Type this:
            cd ..
            python
            import pygame.examples.aliens as game
            game.main()

   5. e.  A space invaders-style game should now load (to prove PyGame is working)
            - Spacebar to fire.  
            - Left/right arrows to move!

---

Congratulations!  You now have Python 3.5 and PyGame installed!

By the way, to exit Python's interpreter ">>>"  do this:
 >>> exit()

To exit the Command Prompt window (cmd.exe),
click the "X" in the top right corner
or you can type:
exit
