Research direction
Start in pyproject.toml, where the pygame dependency is named, and inspect the surrounding packaging configuration. Check how the project installs and runs with pygame-ce across the supported Python versions; done means the dependency resolves to the community edition without breaking the existing project checks.

Description
Not a pgzero user, but after a question came up in pgce discord, I looked up something in the source and noticed that pyproject.toml still depends on the original pygame.
Thing is, pygame is unmaintained by now, no wheels for 3.14 have been generated, last release is from september 2024.
pygame-ce is actively maintained and the supported platforms that have ready-made wheels are growing, so to avoid issues where pip will try to compile pygame as a dependency, I'd recommend to switch over to the community edition.
