Try k = i + 8 * j. The reverse conversion is j, i = divmod(k, 8).

Thanks :)

I have a main fonction that calls "engine" and several subfunctions related to the main function. These functions are in my engine.py file. I would like to use a subfunction from my engine.py with my Chessboard.py file. How do I do that ? Actually, my shell says that my subfunction isn't defined.

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Thierry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1549, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "D:\Chess Release\Chessboard.py", line 332, in move_image
    movecreate(b)
NameError: name 'movecreate' is not defined

You must write

from game_engine import movecreate

but first you must move the definition of movecreate() outside the body of the engine() function. You don't need nested function definitions in your code, so don't use them as they hide the functions from the global namespace.

Good Advise ! :) I almost finished the chess game. The last thing to do is to ask my second click to check if my move is valid or not. My engine does that but I don't know how to bound my engine with my gui.
Here is the 2 functions that are implicated :
The GUI, I need to add something after if len(movecreate(tour,b,d))>0

Your code is very difficult to understand because it is not modular enough. You say you need to add something after if len(movecreate(tour,b,d))>0. Start by writing pseudo code to describe what you need to add. Describe it in plain english or french to start with.

I think that I just need to access to the "correct" variable that is in my movecreate() function.
Then, I will have something like this :len(movecreate(tour,b,d))>0 and correct==0:

If you want to access the correct variable, you need to return its value in movecreate(). For examble, this function could return two values

return correct, movelist

The function that uses this could use

correct, movelist = movecreate(tour, b, d)
if movelist and (correct == 0): ...

edit: also it would be a great improvement if you could remove most of the global statements.

I'm looking for a better way to remove/delete the captured piece. Actually, it checks if the move is correct then, it checks if there is an opponent's piece in the destination tile. If there is one, it deletes the image thanks to the coordinate of the tile. Finally, it moves the selected piece to the destination tile.

captured=canvas.find_closest(x2,y2)
canvas.delete(captured,x2,y2)
x_center,y_center=tile_center+i*dim_square,tile_center+j*dim_square
canvas.coords(closest, x_center, y_center)

I don't think you need x2 and y2 in the call to delete(), canvas.delete(captured) should work. Also shouldn't the last call be written

canvas.coords(closest, (x_center, y_center))

?

What do you mean by a better way to delete the captured piece ?

I tried to think about a lot of way of doing this but the method that I'm using is the more efficient so I will keep using it. :)
