Prerequisites: 

Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, Tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with Tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. Now, it’s up to the imagination or necessity of the developer, what he/she wants to develop using this toolkit. 
To create a Tkinter : 

  • Importing the module – Tkinter
  • Create the main window (container)
  • Add any number of widgets to the main window.
  • Apply the event Trigger on the widgets

The GUI would look like below:


Let’s create a GUI version of a simple FLAMES game.FLAMES is a popular game named after the acronym: Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Sibling. This game does not accurately predict whether an individual is right for you, but it can be fun to play this with your friends.
 

Below is the implementation :
 

Python3
# import all functions from the tkinter from tkinter import * # function for removing common characters  # with their respective occurrences  def remove_match_char(list1, list2): for i in range(len(list1)) : for j in range(len(list2)) : # if common character is found  # then remove that character  # and return list of concatenated  # list with True Flag  if list1[i] == list2[j] : c = list1[i] # remove character from the list  list1.remove(c) list2.remove(c) # concatenation of two list elements with *  # * is act as border mark here  list3 = list1 + ["*"] + list2 # return the concatenated list with True flag  return [list3, True] # no common characters is found  # return the concatenated list with False flag  list3 = list1 + ["*"] + list2 return [list3, False] # function for telling the relationship status def tell_status() : # take a 1st player name from Player1_field entry box  p1 = Player1_field.get() # converted all letters into lower case  p1 = p1.lower() # replace any space with empty string  p1.replace(" ", "") # make a list of letters or characters  p1_list = list(p1) # take a 2nd player name from Player2_field entry box p2 = Player2_field.get() p2 = p2.lower() p2.replace(" ", "") p2_list = list(p2) # taking a flag as True initially  proceed = True # keep calling remove_match_char function  # until common characters is found or  # keep looping until proceed flag is True  while proceed : # function calling and store return value  ret_list = remove_match_char(p1_list, p2_list) # take out concatenated list from return list  con_list = ret_list[0] # take out flag value from return list  proceed = ret_list[1] # find the index of "*" / border mark  star_index = con_list.index("*") # list slicing perform  # all characters before * store in p1_list  p1_list = con_list[ : star_index] # all characters after * store in p2_list  p2_list = con_list[star_index + 1 : ] # count total remaining characters  count = len(p1_list) + len(p2_list) # list of FLAMES acronym  result = ["Friends", "Love", "Affection", "Marriage", "Enemy", "Siblings"] # keep looping until only one item  # is not remaining in the result list  while len(result) > 1 : # store that index value from  # where we have to perform slicing.  split_index = (count % len(result) - 1) # this steps is done for performing  # anticlock-wise circular fashion counting.  if split_index >= 0 : # list slicing  right = result[split_index + 1 : ] left = result[ : split_index] # list concatenation  result = right + left else : result = result[ : len(result) - 1] # insert method inserting the  # value in the text entry box.

Player1_field.grid(row = 1, column = 1, ipadx ="50") Player2_field.grid(row = 2, column = 1, ipadx ="50") Status_field.grid(row = 4, column = 1, ipadx ="50") # Create a Submit Button and attached  # to tell_status function  button1 = Button(root, text = "Submit", bg = "red", fg = "black", command = tell_status) # Create a Clear Button and attached  # to clear_all function  button2 = Button(root, text = "Clear", bg = "red", fg = "black", command = clear_all) # grid method is used for placing  # the widgets at respective positions  # in table like structure .  button1.grid(row = 3, column = 1) button2.grid(row = 5, column = 1) # Start the GUI  root.mainloop()
