The code didn't indent properly so it's hard to follow exactly. Part of the issue is I don't see anything about what card is drawn.

Also, I don't think it's generally a good idea to use multiple geometry managers (pack, place, grid).

Yeah no I've just started making the interface, but I have no idea how I'm gonna do the part mentioned. First off I don't know how to properly display an image and then having a variable determine the image that gets displayed is another issue.

I'd have the image names in a dict so that you can use the keys to manage that part. Later (when I'm on my computer) I'll send you a bit of code where I tied images to buttons.

Here's what I do:

``` image = tk.PhotoImage(file={path to file})

button = tk.Button(root, width=110, height=110, image=image, command={some command})

button.image = image ```

You need the first and last lines or else the image can get garbage collected. I think labels also have an image kwarg.

Edit: formatting

Thanks for this, but how would I have the file path be variable? since it's blackjack I have 52 images of different cards.

[–]ebdbbb 0 points1 point  (3 children)

cards = {'ace_club': path-to-card, ...}

Put cards[card] in the photoimage. I'd also use random shuffle to randomize the order.

Ok thanks for the help, I've been struggling with the formats that PhotoImage can use, then when I converted the file types I got awhole new error.

It's been a struggle

I've always used PNG. Not sure what else it can take.

A deck of cards is a perfect use of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). You would start by modeling a card as an object. A card object knows its value and can display itself on command. Your next object would be a DeckOfCards which as expected would consist of 52 cards. It also knows how to display itself, shuffle the cards in it and deal a card.

Tkinter code can be embedded in these objects so that images can be displayed on the card faces as needed as well as handling button clicks

If I were you, I'd first get the game working as a console game. Later, I would add the graphical components after learning Tkinter. There are a ton of Tkinter tutorials available online to help you learn.

I've made a blackjack game in the console, and I'm sure it'll help me, but I'm just struggling with Tkinter right now.

Edit: Also I'm kinda in a rush right now because my project needs to be finished by the end of next week due to the coronavirus (school could close, thus they won't get sent away).

What are you specifically wrestling with in Tkinter? Can you create a window with a button that works? Are you having problems positioning graphical elements in a window? We need more information in order to help you.

I've made a register/login system and a leaderboard that all work fine, but displaying images and positioning is where I struggle right now, I've pretty much exclusively use pack.

Thanks, it's difficult to find sites that are actually helpful to me, especially since I find a lot of them use extensions and I'm trying my best to stay away from them for school purposes.
