I am on Ubuntu 20.04LTS, and I try to install pygame (for python) for a school project. But when I try this:
sudo pip3 install pygame
I received an error:

Can you help me, please?
Try installing it with
sudo apt install python3-pygame
instead. The error you are getting is because you are missing the Pygame dependencies, which apt should install for you.
As a general rule, it's a good idea to install Python packages through the package manager, and use pip only if they're unavailable unavailable.
Try install like this:
python3 -m pip install pygame==1.9.5rc2
I was having same problem and it worked very well.
