How to run animations in background with tkinter? - Pythenx - May-20-2019 Hello! I am making a tkinter app and I want to make an animation, for example, a character walking (by displaying each frame individually). But when I do this, the rest of the commands stop executing and the only thing that happens is the animation, but I want to execute other commands while the animation is running. There must be a better way to animate stuff in tkinter!? RE: How to run animations in background with tkinter? - Yoriz - May-20-2019 How are you doing the animation?
