Hi
no just downloaded it did not open it as when i was on site saw all these other
files
* pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.7.msi 3.1MB
* pygame-1.9.1release.win32-py2.4.exe 3MB
* pygame-1.9.1release.win32-py2.5.exe 3MB
* pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.5.msi 3MB
* pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi 3MB
* pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7.msi 6.4MB
* pygame-1.9.1.win32-py3.1.msi 3MB
* pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2.msi 6.4MB
* (optional) Numeric for windows python2.5 (note: Numeric is old, best
to use numpy) http://rene.f0o.com/~rene/stuff/Numeric-24.2.win32-py2.5.exe
* windows 64bit users note: use the 32bit python with this 32bit pygame.
There are some pre release binaries for 64bit windows, and for python 2.7 at
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame
and as i said was advised to use the 2,7 version
so thats when i kinda got confused and then there were other files om anothr
page that said they had no scource code like the file i downloaded
------ so as you have gone through what i must learn and im not looking to make
a smash game more rpg and small to start and get expierence what do you
suggest if you had to start from the beginning
i also got advice to download the latest version but then is it as supported as
version 2.7

Not 100% sure what the problem is...
So you have downloaded the binary, opened it up, and then what?
