How do I make collision objects in python tkinter?

I'm making a 2D game where I need objects to scroll up the screen while the player avoids the objects. I need the game to end when the player hits the objects.
it should look something like this:
So far I can move the skier(image) left and right:
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
root = Tk()
root.geometry("800x600")
#canvas dimensions
w = 800
h = 1000
x = w/2
y = h/2
#canvas
my_canvas = Canvas(root, width=w, height=h, bg="white")
my_canvas.pack(pady=20)
#import player image
img=Image.open(r"C:/Users/Gebruiker/Pictures/player.png")
resized = img.resize((300,225), Image.ANTIALIAS)
new_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resized)
new_image = my_canvas.create_image(150,100, anchor=NW,image = new_img)
#player movement
def left(event):
x = -20
y = 0
my_canvas.move(new_image,x,y)
def right(event):
x = 20
y = 0
my_canvas.move(new_image,x,y)
root.bind("<Left>", left)
root.bind("<Right>", right)
How do I randomly spawn objects at regular intervals? I think I need some function to scroll the canvas as the objects spawn.
Similar posts usually had 1 object moving in a changing direction. However, I need lots of objects to spawn continuously.
Also, how do I make a collision border to stop the player going off the canvas?

Image in Button tkinter

I am having a problem in making a login image to a button. I have succeeded in making the image with a transparent background, but I can't succeed to make the button with transparent background.
I attached a screenshot that shows what I mean. The upper 'login' is a image (with transparent background), the lower is Login button but there is a white background around it. I want to make a button with transparent background.
self.login_image = Image.open('images/LoginButton.png')
self.login_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.login_image)
self.main_screen_canvas.create_image(700, 300, image=self.login_image)
self.login_button = Button(self.main_screen_canvas, borderwidth=0, image=self.login_image)
self.login_button.place(x=300,y=400)
What should I do?
BackgroundImage
LoginButtonImage

Here's how to do what I was suggesting in the comment which uses the technique shown in another answer of mine to simulate a tkinter Button on a Canvas that has a transparent image placed on it (instead of text).
One issue I ran into was that fact that your 2421 × 1210 pixel background image was larger than my screen. To deal with it I added a fitrect() helper function to determine a new smaller size for it that would fit. I wrote it a long time ago, but have found it handy to have around many times (like now). Note that in the code ll and ur refer to the lower-left and upper-right corners of the rectangles involved.
Here's the resulting code:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import tkinter as tk
class CanvasButton:
""" Create left mouse button clickable canvas image object.
The x, y coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the canvas.
"""
flash_delay = 100 # Milliseconds.
def __init__(self, canvas, x, y, image_source, command, state=tk.NORMAL):
self.canvas = canvas
if isinstance(image_source, str):
self.btn_image = tk.PhotoImage(file=image_source)
else:
self.btn_image = image_source
self.canvas_btn_img_obj = canvas.create_image(x, y, anchor='nw', state=state,
image=self.btn_image)
canvas.tag_bind(self.canvas_btn_img_obj, "<ButtonRelease-1>",
lambda event: (self.flash(), command()))
def flash(self):
self.set_state(tk.HIDDEN)
self.canvas.after(self.flash_delay, self.set_state, tk.NORMAL)
def set_state(self, state):
""" Change canvas button image's state.
Normally, image objects are created in state tk.NORMAL. Use value
tk.DISABLED to make it unresponsive to the mouse, or use tk.HIDDEN to
make it invisible.

# Calculate aspect ratios of rects r1 and r2.
deltax1, deltay1 = (r1_ur_x - r1_ll_x), (r1_ur_y - r1_ll_y)
deltax2, deltay2 = (r2_ur_x - r2_ll_x), (r2_ur_y - r2_ll_y)

border_width, border_height = 20, 20 # Allow room for window's decorations.
# Determine a background image size that will fit on screen with a border.
bgr_ll_x, bgr_ll_y, bgr_ur_x, bgr_ur_y = fitrect(
0, 0, bgrdwidth, bgrdheight,
0, 0, scrnwidth-border_width, scrnheight-border_height)
bgr_width, bgr_height = int(bgr_ur_x-bgr_ll_x), int(bgr_ur_y-bgr_ll_y)

Add lable, textbox and button to tkinter canvas

How to add a label, textbox and button to a program in which an image is display using tkinter canvas. In this program, an image is displayed to user. Lines are drawn over image on mouse click at different position. I want to add a textbox and a button, so that user can enter name for the object drawn using mouse clicks. For example, Enter label: textboxforinputname__Button to enter.
from Tkinter import *
import Image, ImageTk, ImageDraw
import numpy as np
coord=[] # for saving coord of each click position
Dict_Polygon={} # Dictionary for saving polygon
list_of_points=[]
flag=True
label=0
def draw_lines(event):
mouse_xy = (event.x, event.y)
func_Draw_lines(mouse_xy)
def func_Draw_lines(mouse_xy):
center_x, center_y = mouse_xy
if canvas.old_coords:
x1, y1 = canvas.old_coords
canvas.create_line(center_x, center_y, x1, y1)
# add clicked positions to list
if flag==True:
list_of_points.append(mouse_xy)
canvas.old_coords = center_x, center_y
# Main function
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tk()
# Input image
img = Image.open("test.jpg")
# Draw canvas for iput image to pop up image for clicks
filename = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
canvas = Canvas(root,height=img.size[0],width=img.size[0])
canvas.image = filename
canvas.create_image(0,0,anchor='nw',image=filename)
canvas.pack()
canvas.old_coords = None
# bind function to canvas to generate event
canvas.bind("<Button 3>", draw_lines)
root.mainloop()

Copy Tkinter Canvas Items

I need top be able to create a copy of a tkinter canvas item, so that a copy of an image can be dragged off of an original. I have dragging working for the images, but I cannot seem to copy the image item. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
EDIT: Sorry for not including my code at first. I was able to solve the problem thanks to the answer that was given. Here's a trimmed down example of my code that now works:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
def OnBaseButtonPress(event):
#record the item and its location
drag_data["item"] = c.find_closest(event.x, event.y)
i = c.itemcget(drag_data["item"], "image") #finds the image source of the object
refs.append(i) #keep a reference!
c.create_image(c.coords(drag_data["item"]), image=i, tags="base") #creates an identical object at the position
drag_data["x"] = event.x
drag_data["y"] = event.y
def OnBaseButtonRelease(event):
#reset drag info
drag_data["item"] = None
drag_data["x"] = 0
drag_data["y"] = 0
def OnBaseMotion(event):
#calculate how far the item has moved
delta_x = event.x - drag_data["x"]
delta_y = event.y - drag_data["y"]
#move the object that amount
c.move(drag_data["item"], delta_x, delta_y)
#record the new position
drag_data["x"] = event.x
drag_data["y"] = event.y
#set up canvas and image
root = Tk()
c = Canvas(root, width=800, height=600)
c.pack()
test = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("test.png"))
c.create_image(400, 300, image=test, tags="base")
refs=[] #used to keep references to images used in functions
#bind mouse keys
c.tag_bind("base", "<ButtonPress-1>", OnBaseButtonPress)
c.tag_bind("base", "<ButtonRelease-1>", OnBaseButtonRelease)
c.tag_bind("base", "<B1-Motion>", OnBaseMotion)
drag_data={"x": 0, "y": 0, "item": None}
mainloop()

You can get item type canvas.type(item), item configuration canvas.itemconfig(item), and etc.
And then you can recreate an identical object.

How can I convert canvas content to an image?

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
cv = Canvas(root)
cv.create_rectangle(10,10,50,50)
cv.pack()
root.mainloop()
I want to convert canvas content to a bitmap or other image, and then do other operations, such as rotating or scaling the image, or changing its coordinates.
Bitmaps can improve efficiency to show if I am no longer drawing.
What should I do?

You can either generate a postscript document (to feed into some other tool: ImageMagick, Ghostscript, etc):
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
cv = Canvas(root)
cv.create_rectangle(10,10,50,50)
cv.pack()
root.mainloop()
cv.update()
cv.postscript(file="file_name.ps", colormode='color')
root.mainloop()
or draw the same image in parallel on PIL and on Tkinter's canvas (see: Saving a Tkinter Canvas Drawing (Python)). For example (inspired by the same article):
from Tkinter import *
import Image, ImageDraw
width = 400
height = 300
center = height//2
white = (255, 255, 255)
green = (0,128,0)
root = Tk()
# Tkinter create a canvas to draw on
cv = Canvas(root, width=width, height=height, bg='white')
cv.pack()
# PIL create an empty image and draw object to draw on
# memory only, not visible
image1 = Image.new("RGB", (width, height), white)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image1)
# do the Tkinter canvas drawings (visible)
cv.create_line([0, center, width, center], fill='green')
# do the PIL image/draw (in memory) drawings
draw.line([0, center, width, center], green)
# PIL image can be saved as .png .jpg .gif or .bmp file (among others)
filename = "my_drawing.jpg"
image1.save(filename)
root.mainloop()

I have found a great way of doing this which is really helpful. For it, you need the PIL module. Here is the code:
from PIL import ImageGrab
def getter(widget):
x=root.winfo_rootx()+widget.winfo_x()
y=root.winfo_rooty()+widget.winfo_y()
x1=x+widget.winfo_width()
y1=y+widget.winfo_height()
ImageGrab.grab().crop((x,y,x1,y1)).save("file path here")
What this does is you pass a widget name into the function. The command root.winfo_rootx() and the root.winfo_rooty() get the pixel position of the top left of the overall root window.
Then, the widget.winfo_x() and widget.winfo_y() are added to, basically just get the pixel coordinate of the top left hand pixel of the widget which you want to capture (at pixels (x,y) of your screen).
I then find the (x1,y1) which is the bottom left pixel of the widget. The ImageGrab.grab() makes a printscreen, and I then crop it to only get the bit containing the widget. Although not perfect, and won't make the best possible image, this is a great tool for just getting a image of any widget and saving it.
If you have any questions, post a comment! Hope this helped!

Use Pillow to convert from Postscript to PNG
from PIL import Image
def save_as_png(canvas,fileName):
# save postscipt image
canvas.postscript(file = fileName + '.eps')
# use PIL to convert to PNG
img = Image.open(fileName + '.eps')
img.save(fileName + '.png', 'png')

Maybe you can try to use widget_winfo_id to get the HWND of the canvas.
import win32gui
from PIL import ImageGrab
HWND = canvas.winfo_id() # get the handle of the canvas
rect = win32gui.GetWindowRect(HWND) # get the coordinate of the canvas
im = ImageGrab.grab(rect) # get image of the current location

A better way for #B.Jenkins's answer that doesn't need a reference to the root object:
from PIL import ImageGrab
def save_widget_as_image(widget, file_name):
ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(
widget.winfo_rootx(),
widget.winfo_rooty(),
widget.winfo_rootx() + widget.winfo_width(),
widget.winfo_rooty() + widget.winfo_height()
)).save(file_name)

On my system had serious issues with ghostscript and the ImageGrab in general. Solution draw on PIL Image, save as a file, load file on PhotoImage, which is used to create new TKinter Canvas.
canvas = Canvas(win, width=IMG_W, height=IMG_H)
img = PILImg.new("RGB", (IMG_W, IMG_H), "#000")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
draw.rectangle([x,y,w,h], fill=color, outline=border)
img.save("stock-chart.png")
copyImg = PhotoImage(file="stock-chart.png")
canvas.create_image(IMG_W_2, IMG_H_2, image=copyImg)
