Use tkinter in Python to simulate a dice roll

Mondo Science Updated on 2024-01-29

There are various third-party libraries in Python to design graphical user interfaces. Tkinter is the most popular, common, and easy-to-use library for building GUI graphical user interface applications.

Tkinter offers a powerful object-oriented interface and is easy to use. In this article, we'll use Tkinter and Random to create a GUI application that simulates the roll of dice. 

from tkinter import *


import random


root=tk()


root.geometry("800x400")


root.title('Roll the dice') 


l1=label(root,font=("helvetica",260))


def roll():


dice=['\u2680','\u2681','\u2682','\u2683','\u2684','\u2685']


l1.config(text=f'', fg="red")


l1.pack()


b1=button(root,text="Roll the dice",foreground='blue',command=roll)


b1.place(x=300,y=0)


b1.pack()


root.mainloop()
The operation effect is shown in the following figure.

Import the required libraries. 

from tkinter import *


import random
Create an application window and set the size of the window to 800*400. Set the window title: Roll the dice. Create a label label L1. 

root=tk()


root.geometry("800x400")


root.title('Roll the dice') 


l1=label(root,font=("helvetica",260))
Create a custom function, roll(), to simulate a roll of the dice.

Create a list of dice where you store 1 to 6 dice corresponding to ASCII characters.

Use the random module's choices() method to randomly select an element three times from the list. Store the results in label L1. 

def roll():


dice=['\u2680','\u2681','\u2682','\u2683','\u2684','\u2685']


l1.config(text=f'', fg="red")


l1.pack()
Add a button to execute the function rool. 

b1=button(root,text="Roll the dice",foreground='blue',command=roll)


b1.place(x=300,y=0)


b1.pack()


root.mainloop()
