The Pygame web site does have a beginner's "Chimpanzee" tutorial on
pygame.org,

    http://pygame.seul.org/docs/tut/ChimpLineByLine.html

as well as a "newbies" guide:

    http://pygame.org/docs/tut/newbieguide.html


But from looking at both docs, it appears that both assume some experience
with Python.  If you're unfamiliar with Python itself, it might be a good
approach to try learning Python first before using it to write graphical
games.  Another good link for Python introductions is here:

    http://python.org/doc/Newbies.html



Please feel free to ask questions about pygame here; I'm sure there are a
lot of people who are interested in playing around with games.  Good luck!
