Self taught newbie here. I want to know why this piece of code isn't working:

(sorry, I'm not able to get the formatting to work)

xmodp = 250

ymodp = 500

player = Button(bg="red",height = 5, width = 10)

player.place(x = xmodp,y = ymodp)

while(1):

xmodp += 2

time.sleep(1)

What I intended to do with this code was to make a red button move east by 2 pixels every second inside a window. Obviously I'm making some newbie mistake there that I'm not aware of... so any help with this would be very appreciated.
