I am trying to make a full GUI, for A game borderlands 2, however it only detects my key presses when the tkinter box is selected (in focus). In a game this is not happening, so I need a way for tkinter to detect my key presses while not selected.
This is the code so far. It is not finished, ignore the "Auto Exec" and "Auto Exit" the problem is "Auto Reload". Clicking once will turn it ON and again will turn it OFF. Just choose any number (1-4) for the weapon slot, does not affect the error.

You can't use tkinter for that. It can only detect keyboard events when it has the keyboard focus. You will have to use some platform-specific library to do what you want.

I want to start a timer when the user clicks a button for the first time in my number click game. I tried to use the after method for this, but when I click a button, the timer stays at 0. The rest of the code works fine without any error messages.
Here's the code:
import tkinter as tk
from random import randint
# create window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title('Clicker')
# create list for random numbers
new_list = []
# define time count:
def time_event():
global current_time, after_id
if clock_started:
current_time += 1
clock["text"] = str(current_time)
after_id = clock.after(1000, time_event)
# define click event
def click_event(event):
global clock_started
new_button = event.widget
clicked_val = int(new_button["text"])
clock_started = True
if not clock_started:
clock_started = True
clock.after(1000, time_event)
if clicked_val == new_list[0]:
del new_list[0]
new_button["state"] = tk.DISABLED
if len(new_list) == 0:
clock.started = False
clock.after_cancel(after_id)
# create buttons
for i in range(25):
new_num = randint(1, 999)
while i in new_list:
new_num = randint(1, 999)
new_list.append(new_num)
new_list.sort()
new_button = tk.Button(window, text=new_num)
new_button.grid(column=i // 5, row=i % 5)
new_button.bind("<Button-1>", click_event)
# create clock
current_time = 0
clock = tk.Label(window, text=str(current_time))
clock.grid(column=2, row=6)
clock_started = False
# run game
window.mainloop()
In your code, clock_started has been initialized to True which implies that this condition if not clock_started: will not be satisfied to begin with and hence the timer doesn't work without giving an error. Your final click_event(event) should look like this:
def click_event(event):
global clock_started
new_button = event.widget
clicked_val = int(new_button["text"])
clock_started = False
if not clock_started:
clock_started = True
clock.after(1000, time_event)
if clicked_val == new_list[0]:
del new_list[0]
new_button["state"] = tk.DISABLED
if len(new_list) == 0:
clock.started = False
clock.after_cancel(after_id)

Hi guys ! I'm asking you for help because the sleep(1) line in fctStartGame is executed before the fctGameMenu() and i don't understand why. Because of it my countdown doesn't work.
I have written a first attempt at a tkinter countdown app and I'm struggling with the stop and reset buttons as well as parts of the interface design.
My stop button does nothing at all whereas my reset button resets the values, but then continues the countdown immediately. I suspect it's because I have set self.running to True in the init method and that my app loops through those lines again and again. How do I prevent that from happening?
The other issue is that my width argument in all of my entry fields gets seemingly ignored. How can I assign the same width to all three fields?
Thanks for your help.

For the timer, use the after method instead of sleep.
The entry widths are being used, but the place method puts one entry on top of another.
Also - Call the start method from the button click to reset the running flag.

from tkinter import messagebox

super(Application,self).__init__(master)
self.place()

The issue is that in the recursion process, the code is backtracking on previous squares. When checking a new square, be sure it has not already be checked.
In the num function, add a line of code to skip squares that have already been disabled:
def num(x, y):
if buttonlist[x]["state"] == "disabled": return # add this line
a = rowlist[x]
b = columnlist[x]
I am new to python, and self taught. I am trying to make a simplifed minesweeper game called "Mines". This game has a 5 by 5 grid of buttons, with a random number of mines. Everything is working fine, except for one issue. After you click a safe space, the button should be disabled so you cannot gain any more points. With my code, I have no idea how to do this.
I did already try to call a method to disable the button, as well as using the DISABLED command. Neither worked. I want the "white" buttons to be disabled after click, as those are the safe spaces. In a perfect world, I will call the disable() method when the button is clicked and use that method to disable that button.

I want the button to be disabled after being clicked, however currently the player can click the button as many times as he or she wants.
You can fix it by changing creation of white Buttonss as indicated below in ALL CAPS. This gives the lambda function a default value for btn which changes each iteration of loop (otherwise the function would always refer to the last one created in the for loop).
