trying to run a python game with source code in terminal, unbuntu 18.04
not to get to complicated but I just wanted to run a simple tic tac toe program but couldn't find one that worked so i gravitated towards this after a duckduckgo search for python games, have no idea what i'm doing, any suggestion for a newbie would be great
I do not know what I am doing, can basically do "hello world" or "blastoff" and run it in the terminal. that's it I logged into github and downloaded the zip file of asteroid in the link above. placed it in the directory i wanted to run it in and got an error message trying to run the game in terminal. the file downloaded was a folder called "a-python-game-master" and it downloaded to the desktop
cd Desktop
cd a-python-game-master
python3 Asteroid.pythe error message is belowenter image description here
Traceback (most recent call last): File "Asteroid.py", line 6, in <module> from Vex import Vex File "/home/brian/Desktop/a-python-game-master/Vex.py", line 3, in <module> import Environment File "/home/brian/Desktop/a-python-game-master/Environment.py", line 1, in <module> import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'1 Answer
You've got (2) problems, neither is easily fixable. The module that your games are complaining about - pygame - is available for python2 on Ubuntu 18 in package python-pygame (which won't work with these games). However, it is available for python3 on Ubuntu 19 in package python3-pygame (which I assume works, but doesn't help you).
The source code for pygame is readily available, so if you're up to it, you could build it yourself.
FYI: the script you need to run is MainGame.py, not Asteroids.py (and it's super buggy).
