How to import pygame in gitpod?

This is a simple SudokuSolver App.

Project on GitHub

It's working perfectly. But when I try to run it in gitpod it's unable to import pygame.

Error:
gitpod /workspace/SudokuVizualizationBacktracking $ /home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.2/bin/python /workspace/SudokuVizualizationBacktracking/GUI.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/workspace/SudokuVizualizationBacktracking/GUI.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

Can you please help me out? Thanks You.

In your .gitpod.yml you have configured the following init task:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Start your workspace by opening https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/Deepak-dash007/SudokuVizualizationBacktracking and run this command in the terminal. You'll get the following output:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Here you can see that sdl-config is missing. Google found this Stack Overflow answer that lists dependencies needed for pygame: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60990677/1364435

Change your image config in your .gitpod.yml to:

image:
  file: .gitpod.Dockerfile

and added a new file .gitpod.Dockerfile that installs the dependencies linked in the other Stack Overflow post:

FROM gitpod/workspace-full-vnc

RUN sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
    python-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev python-numpy subversion libportmidi-dev ffmpeg libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev

Push everything and create a new Gitpod workspace. That's it.
