After yesterday’s Code Club, my son asked if it would be possible to use Turtle to draw shapes randomly. I explained that it should be simple to define some shapes and then have use Python to randomly draw them in at random areas on the screen, which quickly lead to…

Okay, so adding the GUI window to display/update the numbers was a little easier than I thought it would be: #!/bin/python3 #geektechstuff #Bingo #libraries to import #randint generates a random integer from random import randint #tkinter for GUI windows from tkinter import * #time is here so that sleep can…

In the United Kingdom (UK) there is a game called Bingo which involves a caller randomly choosing a number between 1 and 90, calling out the number and then placing it so that it cannot be called again. Players have cards in front of them with 15 randomly chosen numbers…

Added a scoring system, a newer title screen that accepts a mouse click, but not managed to change the ball physics yet (I want it to get faster the more it hits the paddle). Also adjusted the window size. #!/bin/python3 #geektechstuff #Python Paddle Ball #libraries to import from tkinter import…

Do you remember Alleyway from the Nintendo Gameboy? It was a 2D game where the player moved a paddle on the bottom of the screen whilst a ball bounced around the screen. If the ball hit the paddle it would rebound upwards, if the ball touched the bottom of the…

I think I’ve started to get to grips with GUI windows in Python, so I’m now going to go back and rework my weather forecast so that it uses a GUI. My first attempt takes a longitude and latitude input from the user. Currently it outputs back to the Python…

My previous attempt at creating a GUI window worked but I’ve since learned that when TKinter creates a window it uses a class structure that creates a super (root) window. Frames can then be created within this window to hold applications (buttons, labels etc). I’ve updated my (basic) program so…
