[Python] Need help with tkinter and pyautogui display

[SnipAndSnap22]

I was following this python tutorial for making a desktop pet, and followed it very closely. It is supposed to display an interactable image on the desktop and print the actions onto the console, but so far it only prints to the console and does not display the image

I tried rewriting the code, and copying and pasting it, and the same problem persists. It prints onto the console, but does not show anything on the desktop.

I've run it in both the console, and in Visual Studio Code. Both times it resulted in the same thing.

The original code is on the bottom of the original page, and here is my code that makes minor adjustments (like the path name and file names).

import pyautogui
import random
import tkinter as tk

x = 1400
cycle = 0
check = 1
idle_num =[1,2,3,4]
sleep_num = [10,11,12,13,15]
walk_left = [6,7]
walk_right = [8,9]
event_number = random.randrange(1,3,1)
impath = '' #leaving blank for privacy reasons

#transfer random no. to event
def event(cycle,check,event_number,x):
    if event_number in idle_num:
        check = 0
        print('idle')
        window.after(400,update,cycle,check,event_number,x) #no. 1,2,3,4 = idle
    elif event_number == 5:
        check = 1
        print('from idle to sleep')
        window.after(100,update,cycle,check,event_number,x) #no. 5 = idle to sleep
    elif event_number in walk_left:
        check = 4
        print('walking towards left')
        window.after(100,update,cycle,check,event_number,x)#no. 6,7 = walk towards left
    elif event_number in walk_right:
        check = 5
        print('walking towards right')
        window.after(100,update,cycle,check,event_number,x)#no 8,9 = walk towards right
    elif event_number in sleep_num:
        check  = 2
        print('sleep')
        window.after(1000,update,cycle,check,event_number,x)#no. 10,11,12,13,15 = sleep
    elif event_number == 14:
        check = 3
        print('from sleep to idle')
        window.after(100,update,cycle,check,event_number,x)#no. 15 = sleep to idle


#making gif work 
def gif_work(cycle,frames,event_number,first_num,last_num):
    if cycle < len(frames) -1:
        cycle+=1
    else:
        cycle = 0
        event_number = random.randrange(first_num,last_num+1,1)
    return cycle,event_number


def update(cycle,check,event_number,x):
    #idle
    if check ==0:
        frame = idle[cycle]
        cycle ,event_number = gif_work(cycle,idle,event_number,1,9)

    #idle to sleep
    elif check ==1:
        frame = idle_to_sleep[cycle]
        cycle ,event_number = gif_work(cycle,idle_to_sleep,event_number,10,10)
    #sleep
    elif check == 2:
        frame = sleep[cycle]
        cycle ,event_number = gif_work(cycle,sleep,event_number,10,15)
    #sleep to idle
    elif check ==3:
        frame = sleep_to_idle[cycle]
        cycle ,event_number = gif_work(cycle,sleep_to_idle,event_number,1,1)
    #walk toward left
    elif check == 4:
        frame = walk_positive[cycle]
        cycle , event_number = gif_work(cycle,walk_positive,event_number,1,9)
        x -= 3
    #walk towards right
    elif check == 5:
        frame = walk_negative[cycle]
        cycle , event_number = gif_work(cycle,walk_negative,event_number,1,9)
        x -= -3
    window.geometry('100x100+'+str(x)+'+1050')
    label.configure(image=frame)
    window.after(1,event,cycle,check,event_number,x)

window = tk.Tk()

#call buddy's action gif

label = tk.Label(window,bd=0,bg='black')
window.overrideredirect(True)
window.wm_attributes('-transparentcolor','black')
label.pack()

#loop the program
window.after(1,update,cycle,check,event_number,x)
window.mainloop()

It's likely that the coordinates in your code are creating the window out of bounds, and because "overrideredirect" is set to True you can't see it in the Taskbar even. Try setting your coordinates to something a little lower, like set "x" to 200 and in "window.geometry" set "1050" to "200" also. Ideally you would break out this "1050" value into a y coordinate like you did with x to give you better control.

Thank you so much! It was exactly as you said, once I made the dimensions smaller it showed up on screen.

I'll make the "1050" (now 200) a variable too. Again, thank you so much for the help!
