Class issue.
 

So I am getting into the swing of python in my class, and am currently trying to take a program from an example, and making it much more condensed. The issue I am having, is there are many classes for a tkinter guessing game.

def question5():

        if entry5.get() in ["Samus", "samus", "Metroid", "metroid", "Prime", "prime", "Metroid Prime", "metroid prime"]:

               answerlabel5['text']= "Its the amazing Metroid game heroine Samus, good call!"

              

        else:

               answerlabel5['text']= "Sigh.. try again."



def question(butnum):

    print "calling proc" #shows space in output to see what is going in

    print "you submitted", butnum #trying to find what output is happening.

    """if (ent[i]).get() in ans[i]:

        (a[i])['text'] = acor[i]

    else:

        (a[i])['text'] = ahint[i]""" #" was an attempt to get it to work.

  

for i in range(0, 5):

    images[i] = Label(image=images[i]).pack()

    ent[i] = Entry().pack()

    sub[i] = Button(text="Submit Answer",command=(lambda: question('i')), fg="white",bg="grey50", font=('impact',10)).pack()

    ans[i] = Label(text="", bg="white", font=('impact',10)).pack()

The class question 5 is one of 5(obviously) that checks for a right answer. I was trying to make a class that would dynamically check based on what entry box I was entering into. How would I get that to work with the class, or is it even possible?

Re: Class issue.
 

I don't see a class in your code.

Eh yah, sorry wasn't thinking straight when I made this post last night. What I meant was:

The procedure question 5 is one of 5(obviously) that checks for a right answer. I was trying to make a procedure that would dynamically check based on what entry box I was entering into. How would I get that to work with the procedure, or is it even possible?


Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Class issue.
 

While I look stupid with the wrong title for this thread(mod help with edit button please?), I still have the issue with procedure condensing. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Class issue.
 

When in doubt run a simplified test code:

# test Tkinter Entry



import Tkinter as tk



def question5(event):

    if entry1.get().lower() in ["samus", "metroid", "prime", "metroid prime"]:

        label2['text'] = "Its the amazing Metroid game heroine Samus, good call!"

    else:

        label2['text'] = "Sigh.. try again."

            

root = tk.Tk()



# first entry with label

label1 = tk.Label(root, text='Enter heroine:')

label1.grid(row=0, column=0)

entry1 = tk.Entry(root, bg='yellow', width=50)

entry1.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=5)

label2 = tk.Label(root, text=' ', fg='red')

label2.grid(row=2, column=0, pady=5)



# start cursor in enter1

entry1.focus()

# value has been entered in enter1 now press return key to check content

entry1.bind('<Return>', question5)



root.mainloop()

I'll write up a better explination later, but here is a class that would create the widget and check your answers:

from Tkinter import *



class question():



        def __init__(self, parent, q_text, a_list, correct, incorrect):

                self.frame = Frame(parent)

                self.q_text = q_text

                self.a_list = a_list

                self.correct = correct

                self.incorrect = incorrect

                

                Label(self.frame, text=self.q_text).grid(row=0, column=0)

                self.entry = Entry(self.frame)

                self.label = Label(self.frame)

                

                self.entry.grid(row=1, column=0)

                self.label.grid(row=1, column=1)

                Button(self.frame, text='check', command=self.check).grid(row=2, column=1)

        def grid(self, y, x, yspan=1, xspan=1):

                self.frame.grid(row=y, column=x, rowspan=yspan, columnspan=xspan)

        

        def pack(self):

                self.frame.pack()

        

        def check(self):

                self.answer = self.entry.get().lower()

                for x in self.a_list:

                        if self.answer.find(x)!=-1:

                                self.label['text'] = self.correct

                                return 1

                        self.label['text'] = self.incorrect

                        return 0

        

root = Tk()

x = question(root, 'Which Character is this:', ['samus', 'metriod', 'prime'], "That's Correct!", "That's Incorrect!")

x.grid(0, 0)

root.mainloop()

you can see the call to the class there at the end.
