import tkinter as tk import time progress = 0 bosshp= 100 hp = 50 def rizzles(): global progress progress += 1 progressbar.config(text=f"progress = {progress}") def attack(): global hp if hp == 50: hp -=2 hpbar.config(text=f"hp = {hp}") time.sleep(1) q = tk.Tk() q.geometry("240x240") progressbar = tk.Label(text=f"progress = {progress}") progressbar.pack() hpbar = tk.Label(text=f"hp = {hp}") hpbar.pack() W = tk.Button( text="GO FOWARD ", command=rizzles,) e = tk.Button( text="ATTACK", command= attack) E = tk.Button(text="START ", ) W.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=15) e.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=15) E.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=12) q.mainloop()

This code creates a graphical interface using the tkinter Python library that includes a progress tracker, health tracker, and three buttons with different functionalities. Here's what the code does:

  1. Initial Setup:

    • progress, bosshp, and hp are initialized to represent the player's current progress (starting at 0), the boss's health (100), and the player's health (50), respectively.
    • The tk.Tk() function creates the main application window (q).
    • Two labels (progressbar and hpbar) are used to display the current progress and health, respectively.
    • Three buttons (W, e, and E) are created to perform different actions.
  2. Functions:

    • rizzles():

      • This function is triggered by the "GO FORWARD" button.
      • It increments the progress variable by 1 and updates the progress display (progressbar).
    • attack():

      • This function is triggered by the "ATTACK" button.
      • If the player's health (hp) is equal to 50, it reduces the health by 2 and updates the health display (hpbar).
      • After reducing health, the time.sleep(1) function causes a 1-second pause before ending the function.
    • START button:

      • Although the "START" button is included in the UI, it currently has no associated functionality and does not perform any action when clicked.
  3. User Interface:

    • Labels (progressbar and hpbar) display the current values of progress and hp.
    • The "GO FORWARD" button increases progress by 1 each time it’s clicked.
    • The "ATTACK" button reduces the player's health (hp) by 2 the first time it's clicked (as long as hp starts at 50).
    • The "START" button is inactive because no functionality has been added to it.
    • The layout of UI elements is handled using pack() with side=tk.LEFT to align the buttons side by side.
  4. Bugs/Issues:

    • The attack() function only reduces hp when its current value is exactly 50; it won't work after the first button click.
    • time.sleep(1) freezes the entire application for 1 second because it pauses the main GUI thread, which makes the interface unresponsive during that time.

Overall, this code creates a simple interactive GUI with a progress tracker, a basic (but flawed) "attack" mechanic, and a button without functionality. The code serves as a demonstration of how to use labels and buttons in Tkinter. However, usability and correctness issues such as blocking behavior (time.sleep) and the attack() function's logic would need to be addressed for a more robust application.
