View source for Pygame/Mac setup instructions

If you're running Mac OS X 10.4 on an Intel or PowerPC Mac, here is one method to install pygame that is relatively simple.

== Prerequisites ==

* Xcode
If you don't have the Xcode development tools installed, insert your Mac OS X install CD and install the Xcode tools from there. Alternatively, you can download the 924MB (!) installation [http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/ directly from Apple].
* X11
Install the X11 package from your Mac OS X install CD. I couldn't find a 10.4-compatible version on the web, so you're on your own if you can't find your installation disc.

== Installing DarwinPorts ==

DarwinPorts is a package management system that makes it easy to install a bunch of open source software. You can download it [http://darwinports.com/ here]. Double-click the installer and follow the instructions on-screen.

== Installing pygame ==

Once you have DarwinPorts installed, open a Terminal window. Make sure you have the latest version by running the following command:

 sudo port selfupdate

Then, install pygame and its dependencies:

 sudo port install py-game
