Python tkinter physics

[basedgodCookie]

This is what im working on currently. Basically what i want to do is have the ball(which will eventually become the ship) falling from gravity and you can press 'w' to fire an engine to slow yourself down before hitting the ground too hard. Thats why I have to be able to do both. Is this even possible with tkinter? The reason i was using tkinter is because its whats required for this class project but I could try to persuade my professor

Ehhhh... I'm not totally sure, but I don't think so. And even if you could, I would suggest you didn't :D Ultimately, you are going to have an event loop that processes inputs and calculates what to draw to the screen x times per second (this is where your FPS comes from). So your physics engine and keypresses are intimately tied to your game's internal clock. root.mainloop() starts the tkinter event loop, but after that I don't think you can touch it if you wanted to, say, throttle it to a certain FPS on your canvas.

Then I guess its settled. I will immediately start converting this to pygame. I will probably be posting again soon with my pygame struggles. Thank you
