I have been given an exemplar work of what I am suppose do by examination board, but it’s in VB and I am using Python 3.3.4 version. I do not know where to start from as I have never created a program like this before. I am trying to create something like this in Python and was wondering would it be possible. > < Here the OP had inserted an image of a GUI version of the game with 49 numbered buttons in a 7x7 display along with other buttons to perform game functions.> > > > My students need to create something like the above, but I am not sure where to start from and any help or start will be much appreciated. If you are used to VB and you have not coded in Python before then you will have some catch up to do! Python can do GUIs, but the standard library does not come with drag-and-drop GUI building capabilities. tkinter is the GUI library that comes with Python. There are third party libraries out there that lots of people use as well. But if you use tkinter, then you will have to code the GUI elements by hand. https://docs.python.org/3.3/ are the Python docs for version 3.3 (More specifically 3.3.6). There is a tutorial on the language there as well as a standard library reference that has the docs on tkinter. So your project is quite doable once you learn what you need to learn! If you are comfortable programming in VB, then I would think that the Python tutorial can get you quickly up to speed on using Python. But if you have never hand-coded GUIs before, you may struggle with tkinter, but the good news is there is a lot of tkinter documentation out on the Web. boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
