Is it possible to run a game from pygame using WSL and jupyter lab? – Debian

I’m trying to run a Mario Kart clone from a github repository on WSL (Debian), but my WSL doesn’t include X11. So, I would like to know if it’s possible to launch it from Jupyter lab. When I try to launch it, I get an error:

    Your immediate issue is a sound issue. This should be fixed by

    export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=’dsp’

    Or whatever is necessary to set an environment variable in Jupyter Lab.

    Beyond that, I don’t know if the graphics will work.

    Install XLaunch and run it with all default settings except check "Disable access control"

    Next add

    import os
os.environ["SDL_VIDEODRIVER"]="x11"

    To the top of your python file. This is working for me in WSL 2
