Re: [pygame] running downloaded games / auto installer



It's up to the project maintainer/developer to provide packages
for specific operating systems.
Some provide MSI and EXE installers for windows as well as packages
for OSX and the more common Linux-based systems.
Another post in this thread gave great examples of how to use the
source code directly, which is pretty easy too.

If you like installers/packages I suggest you learn how it works
on your OS and help your favourite PyGame project out by providing
those packages. I have relied heavily on other people using various systems
to help me out, in particular since I only have access to Linux
systems. It's very much apreachated by developers! :)
