[Tkinter] How can I use Tkinter with pygame

[microphone_head]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me so the code works with pygame and Tkinter (seemingly) simultaneously? I'm also interested in formatting the text and using the appropriate methods, anything to assist would be greatly appreciated .

I'm working on introducing Tkinter into my pygame project to make it easier to test and debug. I normally send the information to the Python shell window but thought it would be much cooler to have the information neatly displayed in a seperate window, ideally having the pygame window doing its thing, while keeping an eye on (some of) the variables in the Tkinter window.

I've done the pygame stuff already , and have got as far as launching the Tkinterwindow (incorrectly I imagine).

import tkinter
import pygame

pygame.init()

pwbr_power = 0
pwbr_duration = 0
pwbr_scrn_refresh = 0
pwbr_elps_time = 0
pwbr_ttl_sec = 0


def fn_pbtkwin_update():
    """
    Updates the status information in the tkinter window.
    """
    
    global pwbr_power, pwbr_duration, pwbr_scrn_refresh, pwbr_elps_time
    global pwbr_ttl_sec
    
    pwbr_power += 1
    pwbr_duration += 0.15
    pwbr_elps_time += pwbr_duration
    pwbr_scrn_refresh = 0.333
    pwbr_ttl_sec += pwbr_elps_time

    if pwbr_elps_time > pwbr_scrn_refresh:
        pwbr_elps_time = 0
        pwbr_duration = 0

    caption_pwr = "Power: " + str(pwbr_power)
    caption_dur = "Duration: " + str(pwbr_duration)
    caption_rfrsh =  "Screen Refresh: " + str(pwbr_scrn_refresh)
    caption_etime = "Elapsed time: " + str(pwbr_elps_time)
    caption_ttl = "Total sec's: " + str(pwbr_ttl_sec)
    tkinter.Label(tkwin, text=caption_pwr, fg="black").grid(row=0, column=0)
    tkinter.Label(tkwin, text=caption_dur, fg="black").grid(row=1, column=0)
    tkinter.Label(tkwin, text=pwbr_scrn_refresh, fg="black").grid(row=2, column=0)
    tkinter.Label(tkwin, text=caption_etime, fg="black").grid(row=3, column=0)
    tkinter.Label(tkwin, text=caption_ttl, fg="black").grid(row=4, column=0)

    tkwin.after(1000, fn_pbtkwin_update)
# fn_pbtkwin_update() ----------------------------------------------------------


tkwin = tkinter.Tk()
tkwin.title("Power Bar")
