binding - python

[beta]

Dear All,

I am new with Python. I have question on binding.
I have small pingpong application, I want to change color og the ball
whenever mouse is clicked. I have theBall and changeColor functions. I
don't know how to bind it together. Does anyone know? I am very
appreciate of your help. Thanks.

Here is a source code:

from Tkinter import *
import string

class Pong(Frame):
def createWidgets(s elf):
self.QUIT = Button(self, text='QUIT', foreground='red ',
command=self.qu it)
self.QUIT.pack( side=LEFT, fill=BOTH)

## The playing field
self.draw = Canvas(self, width="5i", height="5i")

## The speed control for the ball
self.speed = Scale(self, orient=HORIZONT AL, label="ball speed",
from_=-100, to=100)

self.speed.pack (side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

# The ball
#self.ball = self.draw.creat e_oval("0i", "0i", "0.10i",
"0.10i",
# fill="red")
self.theBall()
self.x = 0.05
self.y = 0.05
self.velocity_x = 0.3
self.velocity_y = 0.5

self.draw.pack( side=LEFT)
def theBall(self):
self.ball = self.draw.creat e_oval("0i", "0i", "0.20i",
"0.20i", fill='blue' )



def changeColor(sef l, event):
x = self.draw.canva sx(event.x)
y = self.draw.canva sy(event.y)
item = self.draw.find_ closest(x,y)
currentColour = self.draw.itemc get(item, 'fill')
if currentColour == 'red':
self.draw.itemc onfigure(item, fill='blue')
else:
self.draw.itemc onfigure(item, fill='red')

def moveBall(self, *args):
if (self.x > 5.0) or (self.x < 0.0):
self.velocity_x = -1.0 * self.velocity_x
if (self.y > 5.0) or (self.y < 0.0):
self.velocity_y = -1.0 * self.velocity_y

deltax = (self.velocity_ x * self.speed.get( ) / 100.0)
deltay = (self.velocity_ y * self.speed.get( ) / 100.0)
self.x = self.x + deltax
self.y = self.y + deltay

self.draw.move( self.ball, "%ri" % deltax, "%ri" % deltay)
self.after(10, self.moveBall)

def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__( self, master)
Pack.config(sel f)
self.createWidg ets()
self.after(10, self.moveBall)


game = Pong()

game.mainloop()

Re: binding - python

Quoc,

the following code, verbatim, works for me:

from Tkinter import *

class Pong(Frame):
def createWidgets(s elf):
self.QUIT = Button(self, text='QUIT', foreground='red ',
command=self.qu it)
self.QUIT.pack( side=LEFT, fill=BOTH)

## The playing field
self.draw = Canvas(self, width="5i", height="5i")

## The speed control for the ball
self.speed = Scale(self, orient=HORIZONT AL, label="ball speed",
from_=-100, to=100)

self.speed.pack (side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

# The ball
self.ball = self.draw.creat e_oval("0i", "0i", "0.20i","0.20i" ,
fill="red")
self.draw.tag_b ind(self.ball, '<Button-1>', self.changeColo ur)
self.x = 0.05
self.y = 0.05
self.velocity_x = 0.3
self.velocity_y = 0.5

self.draw.pack( side=LEFT)

def changeColour(se lf, event):
x = self.draw.canva sx(event.x)
y = self.draw.canva sy(event.y)
item = self.draw.find_ closest(x,y)
currentColour = self.draw.itemc get(item, 'fill')
if currentColour == 'red':
self.draw.itemc onfigure(item, fill='blue')
else:
self.draw.itemc onfigure(item, fill='red')

def moveBall(self, *args):
if (self.x > 5.0) or (self.x < 0.0):
self.velocity_x = -1.0 * self.velocity_x
if (self.y > 5.0) or (self.y < 0.0):
self.velocity_y = -1.0 * self.velocity_y

deltax = (self.velocity_ x * self.speed.get( ) / 100.0)
deltay = (self.velocity_ y * self.speed.get( ) / 100.0)
self.x = self.x + deltax
self.y = self.y + deltay

self.draw.move( self.ball, "%ri" % deltax, "%ri" % deltay)
self.after(10, self.moveBall)

def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__( self, master)
Pack.config(sel f)
self.createWidg ets()
self.after(10, self.moveBall)

game = Pong()

game.mainloop()

Cut and paste it into a file and try it out. Make sure you check for
line breaks on long lines.

I do have a clue. Simply bind a mouse click to the entire canvas widget
rather than the canvas item.

Add the following line after you create the canvas widget:

self.draw.bind( '<Button-1>', self.toggleBall Motion)

where toggleBallMotio n stops the ball movement if it is moving and
starts the movement if it is stopped. It is a function of the form:

def toggleBallMotio n(self, event):
if self.speed.get( ) != 0:
self.oldspeed = self.speed.get( )
self.speed.set( 0)
else:
self.speed.set( self.oldspeed)

You will also need to initialise the self.oldspeed variable when you
first create the Scale widget.
