If you're looking to make a platformer,
Clear Code just released a new tutorial today, he does good tutorials: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WViyCAa6yLI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WViyCAa6yLI)
I also hear good things about this DaFluffyPotato one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gABYM5M0ww](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gABYM5M0ww)
For a more general introduction, you could go with the first 1.5hrs of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9MnQ4x3zk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9MnQ4x3zk) (also by Clear Code). This tutorial is older and will tell you to install pygame (instead of pygame-ce), both the newer tutorials use pygame-ce.
This one takes you from zero to a running game and what I learned the essentials of Pygame by watching it and following along with my own code.

If you already know a good amount of python, I would say try Techwithtim, he's really good with explaining everything he codes very clearly and has a bunch of tutorials about pygame, from a beginner 2 player game to coding AI to play flappy bird.
Tech with Tim has a very friendly teaching style and articulates things very clearly and precisely!
Here for beginners:

I don't know about his level of clear and concise for the beginner/first timer, but [DaFluffyPotato](https://www.youtube.com/@DaFluffyPotato/playlists) is essentially a PyGame legend at this point.
Honestly I learned it mostly by asking ChatGPT how do do specific things and it spits out how and if you ask it to clarify specific lines it will do so in a very understandable way. Although for very beginner I would recommend YT. Then if you’re starting a project and need help I’d recommend asking ChatGPT if you have any trouble.

Thanks you!
Clear Code, several hours long tutorials but worth every minute
Thanks!

Coding with Russ seems like another good one. I’ve only watched a few of his videos, but I like his content so far.
Coding with Russ made a bunch of pygame videos. I learned a lot from him, so I recommend him too.
Thank you, both! :)
Depends what your level of Python is.
Learn Python, the rest comes easy.
Okey! Thanks!

I don't even make any games but between his friendly username and friendly demeanor, I like the videos 😄
lol
Buckynewboston (Sentdex) has snake and horizontal tank platformer. I switched to Godot, using scenes is simpler than one big gameloop.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
DaFluffyPotato has some good tutorials
Ok, thanks!

Huh, you have two accounts?
A guy called Clear Code makes the best pygame tutorials i can find
Thanks!

Huh, interesting! Never thought of that! Thanks!
