Issue: Pygame Installation Fails on Python 3.14 (and Potentially Other Recent Versions) #1

Description

@Cyrush25

I tried running this Space Invaders game on Python 3.14, but encountered a ModuleNotFoundError for pygame. The issue is that official pygame wheels aren't available for Python 3.14 yet (released October 2024), causing pip installation to fail during the build process (it tries to compile from source but lacks MSYS2/pacman on Windows).

Workaround Used: I installed pygame using unofficial wheels from Christoph Gohlke's repository (https://github.com/cgohlke/pygame-wheels), which worked perfectly.
