cv2.imshow Python is not opening the window on top - Petko - Feb-21-2020
I'm using python 3.8 and I'm creating a game, where a user is shown a picture and based on that picture he has stuff to do, the problem is, that I have a loop and when the cv2.imshow is before the loop, the picture is opened on top, you don't have to click on the icon, but I need to put the picture after the loop and that's where the problem starts, the image is opening in a window, but I have to click on that window to see the picture. Problem is, the game I've created requires image to be shown for 5 seconds, and the user loses seconds by manually clicking on the window to see the image.
The code is:
while True:
start = input('Press < Y > to start the game or < N > to exit \nDo you want to start the game? ')
print(start)
if start.upper() == "Y":
print("Starting the game")
break
elif start.upper() == "N":
print("End Game \nMaze runner v1.0")
quit()
else:
print("You must choose < Y > or < N >")
img = cv2.imread('maze.jpg', 0)
window_name = 'image'
cv2.imshow(window_name, img)
cv2.waitKey(5000)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
