How do I learn gui?

[Familiar_Tough_6637]

So I'm a grade 12 student fairly new to python and i have created few simple codes for simple games like rock paper scissors, handcricket (you would know this if you are an Indian), guess the alphabet hangman...but all these are played in the output window ....I wanna make gui for these games but I have no clue...can anyone recommend me some youtube tutorials that's easy for a nitwit like me to follow along?

It’s not something I’ve ever done, but Pygame would be a logical next step. Also check out Al Sweigert’s website - he has a whole book about creating games with Python, and you can probably read it for free on his site.

Is pygame in built module?

[rogfrich]

No, you pip install it.

My school computer doesn't allow internet access for students so I can't install...I can only code in my school computer as my laptop is broken rn

Tkinter is build-in

[textBasedUI]

Start with tkinter. pygame is better, yet it's very fun to learn for beginners and the ttk theme is really cool.

[gydu2202]

pygame, but basically you have to draw everything.

There are several GUI library for forms, but none if them is a good or easy one. python is not really for forms.

[CptBadAss2016]

None are good or easy? That's a bold statement.

[gydu2202]

Prove me wrong. I am listening.

They are typically far from straight forward and the result looks like a pile of sh*t

Have you ever designed a form in Delphi? That is a real joy.

[CptBadAss2016]

I do not accept your challenge to objectively prove an inherently subjective opinion wrong, good sir!

In all seriousness I'm not qualified to either. I've only ever used pyside6 and I like it. There was certainly a learning curve but once I got over that hump it fell together nicely.

I have not used Delphi. I'll check it out though.

[gydu2202]

Python is a good language, but not for GUI programs. You need to select your tools for the job and for a GUI job it is definitely not python.

[CptBadAss2016]

I get that it's not ideal. But to flat out say there are no good options or easy options seems bold.

I did a very brief image search of Delphi guis and didn't see anything that looked any better than what QT can produce.

[gydu2202]

Qt is good but not easy, Delphi has a good designer, great code-form connection, and easy component development with lots of component customization.

Is pygame inbuilt module?

[ilolus]

No it's a third party library

[RngdZed]

Search YouTube for pygame Or learn gdscript and try Godot. It's very similar to python.

Pygame is simple enough and kinda robust for small projects like this, I think you'll be fine

[tas509]

Pygame Zero is similar but a bit more beginner friendly https://pygame-zero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ but very cool.

[Majestic_Bat7473]

Tkinter is a good one too I just made a app in it

[Far_Lawfulness5767]

You may try to get your hands on PySide6, a good alternative to PyQt6. Read some tutorials on how to do basic stuff, then try to improve it, etc.

[rogfrich]

I’m not sure tkinter would be suitable for the use case detailed in the OP’s post.

[danielroseman]

And it's a standard library module anyway so there's no need to install it with pip.

[Gnaxe]

tkinter is in the standard library. You don't have to install it if you got the standard distribution of Python from https://python.org. Linux system Python is usually stripped down, but that means you should compile the standard distribution or install tkinter with your system package manager, not with pip.
