To do a test using @
metulburr pong example
here.
Build in a virtual environment,so all install of Pygame and Pyinstaller is new.
Full run:
# Make environment E:\div_code λ python -m venv pygame_env # Cd in E:\div_code λ cd pygame_env\ # Activate environment E:\div_code\pygame_env λ E:\div_code\pygame_env\Scripts\activate # Install (pygame_env) E:\div_code\pygame_env λ pip install pygame pyinstaller Collecting pygame .....

So it works,for more advance games with a addition data file like image/sound ect... may need to add this in build process.
Pyinstaller has good documentation about this.
Example on how that would look:
pyinstaller --onefile --icon=sound.ico --add-data shoot.png;. pong.py
For more addition can also use
spec file that Pyinstaller create on every run.
