The pygame web site says this:

"Pygame still does not run on Python 3.11"

Also from the same page:

"Make sure you install python with the "Add python to PATH" option 
selected. This means that python, and pip will work for you from the 
command line."

See https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Pygame%20Installation

So what to do until pygame runs in Python 3.11?  I'd install an earlier 
version of Python.  You can have several versions on your machine at the 
same time.  Remember, you have to install all the required packages with 
each version of Python - they don't use each other's code or libraries.
