Tkinter Python Resources

Question

I'm looking to design a (very) basic GUI for a battleship game.

As suggested in another question, I was going to use Tk's check buttons and coordinates and pass the value and so forth.

I'm having a tough time finding a decent start-up tutorial for Tkinter. I've tried Google and went through several results to little to no avail. Though I'm pretty experienced with Python, I've never done any GUI (other than lightly with Xcode). If anyone knows any good resources, I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

tkdocs.com has a tutorial that covers tkinter (as well as using tk with Ruby, Perl and Tcl).

Answer 2

For what you need I suggest you look at the canvas widget

There are several resources: e.g. - http://www.techrepublic.com/article/tkinter-canvas-freeform-guis-in-python/6310698 or http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/canvas.htm

Answer 3

"Programming Python" by Mark Lutz has a chapter on GUI's.

The tkinter page on the Python wiki has links to tutorials as well.
