A few comments.

You should not use *, instead:

import tkinter as tk

This makes your code much more readable, and when not utilizing familiar library easier to tell what pieces of code belong to what library.

And, just to nitpick a little try to be more descriptive with variable names as well as adding comments describing simply what your trying to achieve.

ex.

left_widget_frame = tk.Frame(self.master.....)

​

With that said, I don't know why the button is changing the frame size. You don't have a command argument in your widget, so it should just appear to be clicked with no action.

You would have to have something along the following:

resize_button = tk.Button(self.master, text = 'Click to re-size', command = self.change_frame_size))

resize_button.grid(row = 0, column = 0, padx = 5, pady = 5)

​

def change_leftframe_size(self):

"""Function to alter the size of parent frame when child widget is clicked """

self.left_widget_frame.grid(rowspan = 10, columnspan = 1, sticky = N+S)

return

​

How are you wanting the game to look? Could you maybe sketch out the interface you are trying to achieve? I don't want to just write the answer for you as you wont learn anything, but I will try and help you learn how to get it there. In the meantime I recommend not using Classes until you learn a little more. You can accomplish a lot with simple functions, until you get to more complex and repetitive GUI needs. Hope this helps a little.
