How do you actually get PyGame
Please help me, I really want to use my experience in python to create games.

?  If you can, please show me how to use PyGame.

PS: how do you get signatures?
Hi, I haven't used PyGame yet, but quick search gave this nice looking Getting started wiki:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted

Have you tried and encountered problems during installation? If yes, be specific about it and we can surely help out.
And about using PyGame, that's what documentation and tutorials are for. Surely you can find numerous resources, and if you hit (specific) obstacles, you can get great help on this forum :)

And for signature, you have "User CP" link, on top, just under Python forums logo and login welcome message. When in the control panel, navigate to "Change signature" item on the menu.
Or just follow the link: https://python-forum.io/usercp.php?action=editsig
Have you tried pip install?
pygame finally now works with pip. So you can now install it like any other 3rd party library
pip install pygame
If you check out the tutorials section, the game section has basic pygame tutorials

Signatures are restricted until you get 5 posts thanks to spam.

But where do you type in this code? I have never done this before
What Operating System are you using (ie Windows, Linux, Mac)?  What version of Python are you using?
