How to import pygame in visual studio code?

I use visual studio code for coding (python) and now I have to write a program with pygame for my project and I can't import pygame in visual studio code (I can import it with the python script, it just can't be imported in visual studio code).

Here is the solution I tried:

From left bottom of your vs code you can find python environment, you can in the image I marked red:

after clicking in the red marked area you can see below option to select:

from the option select your desired one. Suppose first i was try selecting 2nd one but it was not working then i tried with the last one and it worked.

1. Open the terminal of Vscode.
2. Type pip install pygame or pip3 install pygame.
3. Import pygame and enjoy it.

If it works in the console when you type 'python yourscript.py' but not in vs code, you should press ctrl+shift+p and use clic on Python select interpreter to switch to the right env. if it sstill doesn't work then install the package by running 'python -m pip install pygame'

Another possible solution is the you could be using VS code in restricted mode. make sure you're in a trusted browser on the app
