Python 3.8 does not support pygame yet download python 3.7.x and everything will be installed normally. Reference to python 3.7.5 -- https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-375/ - latest release version 3.7
Judging by
command: 'c:\users\mapk0\appdata\local\programs\python\python38
This is python 3.8. (Next time, please specify the versions of all components)
A similar question about python 3.8 and pygame was asked recently on stackoverflow.
Here is a short retelling of the answer, which I find useful, in case you don't understand English:
pip actually, he's not friends with pygame.
But it can be compiled using the instructions from here: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileWindows (eng.)
When however, to install with version 3.8, you need to use pygame 2.0.0 and the instructions under the SDL2 header.
If you manage to install pygame using these instructions, it is advisable to vote for the 2nd answer in the original question. Or leave a comment here and I'll vote for it.
To install pygame, you need python 3.7, which you can download from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.9/python-3.7.9-amd64.exe
