I am having an issue using tk. I have a label that dynamically changes based on conditions. There are at least 5 different conditions that can change the text. They all seem to work except 1. As far as I can tell I have it set-up just like all the others. My code is raw, I am still working on it. I am new and teaching my self so go easy on me :). I am making a tic tac toe game. The problem is in the showWinner function. I cannot get the message2 label to show the winning play. I will try to highlight the problem area. I have some print statements in there to help debug. I am sure things can be cleaned up, I'm just trying to get it working first. It is only set up to test row A, so entering 1 1 X, 1 2 X, and 1 3 X should send you to showWinner where the label should change.

Take a peek at how the code below tests for a winner. There are only 8 ways to win the game and these are all encoded as tuples containing the winning board positions. For example, (0, 1, 2) is the top row. If all three positions have the same marker we have a winner.

I used 0..8 instead of rows and columns to represent spots on the board because it makes the code easier. The real game may be 2D, but it is much easier to write the code using flat lists. I just arrange the buttons in a grid pattern.

This is the code that check for a winner:
for win in self.wins:
    if all(self.player == self.board[slot] for slot in win):
self.wins is the list of all possible winning combinations. The for loop iterates through all the winning combinations until a winner is found or the list is exhausted.

The all() is like magic to me. Something I first saw mentioned on this forum. It tests if self.player == self.board[slot] for all slots in win. In the example I gave earlier where (0, 1, 2) is the top row, player 0 would be the winner if self.board[0] == 0 and self.board[1] == 0 and self.board[2] == 0. Magic, right?

When you see yourself writing code like this:
    dispA10.set(rowA[0])
    dispA11.set(rowA[1])
    dispA12.set(rowA[2])
    dispB20.set(rowB[0])
    dispB21.set(rowB[1])
    dispB22.set(rowB[2])
    dispC30.set(rowC[0])
    dispC31.set(rowC[1])
    dispC32.set(rowC[2])
Step back and think to yourself "Can I do this with lists and a loop?"
for display, marker in zip(displays, board):
    display.set(marker)
