Pygames Not Working

[piraticus]

I downloaded a few pygames, and launched their .py files, and I will see a small black box (command line) show up for half a second, then it will disappear.

 

Any help?

Have you got pygame installed? Also is python in the PATH file.

Yes I have pygame and what is the PATH file?

Just google, how to put python into the path variable. It's hard to explain but it means you can run python in CMD

You can check if Python is in you PATH file by shift+right clicking on an empty part of your directory and then choosing "Open command windows here". 

You will now get that black box with white letters.

Then enter "python" and report what result you get.

This is @piraticus from a different account, I typed in python and got:  'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You can then download python from the official website. The games should state which version it uses. Either 2.7.10 or 3.4.3.

 

Then follow the steps on this page to add it to your PATH.
