Ive been working on this for a while, and still am quite stuck. I've got the menu code done and it causes no problems, but as for organising the screen for the remaining two sections I am still having trouble.
Im using the .grid() setting, and am thinking if I need to pre-align the screen before the buttons and such are created. Or if it should work by just assigning them like I have been.
Now I have two prototype versions of the code. One version I have been stuck on for several weeks, and a new version I am writing again, and re-writing the problem areas from scratch.

# Programmer: A. Smith
# Created: 20100305
# Edited: 20100317
# Time: 12:09
# ::Goals::
# - Divide windows (top, center, right) for alignment of buttons/controls
# - Include a timer or timer zone for adding with Game Code
# - Bind Menu buttons (Close:Done. Rest:Incomplete) to Event to do its prescripted action
# - Open new detail windows for several Menu buttons when Binded
# - Create new internal window (aligned Center) for game screen
# -
# ::Notes::
# .windowDivide() and gameWindow() are 2 attempts at the same goal. incomplete.
# divide into Top (menu), Right (controls) and Center (game screen)
# Center screen needs to be a child (?), but has to say in main. Not be seperate.
# Divide window into panes for aspect ratio
# .timerZone() Not complete, ignore until GUI more complete/add in programming phase.
# Place window (Tk) inside Application ?. Allow for instant view resize ?
#
# Completely reorganise this code for child window adaptations.
