Hello Denis,
I use Kubuntu and know that this is doable.
A quick question: are you trying to use Pygame from Python 3 or Python 2? Because the âpython-pygameâ package that Lucas mentioned will only work under Python 2.x.
If you need to use Pygame under Python 3, youâll need to install a new repository, like this one:
https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/ubuntu/pygame
Then youâll be able to apt-get install python3-pygame.
As a side note, you may already be aware that thereâs a Perlin Noise Generator contribution for Pygame here:
http://www.pygame.org/project-Perlin+Noise+Generator-1044-.html
Good luck! ~ Michael
