Guess the number game in Python using Tkinter

• First import tkinter (and random)

import tkinter as tk
import random

• Then initialize the window and add a title and the geometry for the window.

window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Higher or Lower")
window.geometry("800x200")

• Now let’s make a variable that will guess the number between 1 and 100.

number = random.randint(1, 100)

• Now let’s make a function where the user is able to guess the number.

def check_guess():
    guess = int(guess_field.get())

    if guess < number:
        result_label.config(text="Too low! Try again.")
        
    elif guess > number:
        result_label.config(text="Too high! Try again.")
        
    else:
        result_label.config(text=f"Correct!!! You guessed the number {number} correctly!")
        guess_button.config(state=tk.DISABLED)

• There will be a text field (called Entry in Tkinter) that will allow the user to input numbers.
• If the user guesses too high, the program will tell them, the same if the user guesses too low.
• If the user guesses the number right, the program will congratulate them.

• Now, let’s make the labels, button, and text field for the program.

title_label = tk.Label(text="Type a number between 1 and 100: ", font=("Arial", 14))
guess_field = tk.Entry(width=10, font=("Arial", 14))
guess_button = tk.Button(text="Guess", width=5, font=("Arial", 14), command=check_guess)
result_label = tk.Label(font=("Arial", 14))

• Then, let’s make the UI elements to place them on the GUI.

title_label.pack(side="top", pady=10)
guess_field.pack(side="right", padx=10)
guess_button.pack(side="left")
result_label.pack(side="bottom", pady=10)

• Now that we’re finished, let’s run the code.

window.mainloop() <- DON'T FORGET THIS!!!
