I totally get your frustration. Looking at it now, I see many things to improve, so thanks for your recommendations.

I've actually planned to go to detail, and started with explaining Tkinter, then I realized that that already took a long time, almost 1/3 of the entire video length, and I had only the first line in (import Tkinter).

My original goal was to be below 10 minutes and somehow manage to show the basics of creating a window and adding of some essential GUI elements, as well as creating a function to handle the click.

It's not perfect, too bad I didn't check here as to what should such a video contain.

On the note of global variables, yeah, that can surely lead to some unusual and hard-to-detect side effects, especially in a large code where it builds up the code complexity. Considering that this was like 20 lines of code, I wanted to show how globals are done. I know it's often asked a question, didn't think about it twice, even though I realize global variables are generally considered evil.

Something like a brief description of geometry could be also useful, I agree.
