🔒 Is this the proper way to run a ticking timer for stuff like Tkinter? | Python | Page 1

I was super sleep deprived one day and kept picking at it until I could finally get this logic working, I have no idea if this is commonly used or if I just made a super makeshift method to something already being used that I don't know about.

And before anyone complains about global variables, they HAVE to be otherwise it is unable to access them within the if blocks.

So you can do without the global if you pass them in as parameters.

e.g.

def timeticker(TimerBull1, TimerBull2, TimerBull3):
    if not TimerBull1:
        timeline = datetime.now().strftime("%m/%d/%Y "+" %H:%M:%S "+" %p")
        window.title(timeline)
        window.after(500, timeticker1)
        TimerBull1 = True
        return
    if not TimerBull2:
        timeline = datetime.now().strftime("%m/%d/%Y "+" %H:%M:%S "+" %p")
        window.title(timeline)
        window.after(500, timeticker1)
        TimerBull2 = True
        return
    if not TimerBull3:
        timeline = datetime.now().strftime("%m/%d/%Y "+" %H:%M:%S "+" %p")
        window.title(timeline)
        window.after(500, timeticker1)
        TimerBull3 = True
        return

timeticker(TimerBull1, TimerBull2, TimerBull3)

really? That makes sense though after thinking about it

bleak sleet Aug 7, 2024, 12:57 PM

Although, ideally, this can be further simplified (because it breaks the DRY principle)

def timeticker(TimerBull):
    if not TimerBull:
        timeline = datetime.now().strftime("%m/%d/%Y "+" %H:%M:%S "+" %p")
        window.title(timeline)
        window.after(500, timeticker)
        TimerBull = True
        return TimerBull

TimerBull1 = False
TimerBull1 = timeticker(TimerBull1)

#

And then repeat for TimerBull 2 and 3

#

But only reusing the same timeticker() function

#

less lines, easier to read and maintain

#

as per your example, yes

#

So if you wanna use the timeticker function on all 3 timerbulls

def timeticker(TimerBull):
    if not TimerBull:
        timeline = datetime.now().strftime("%m/%d/%Y "+" %H:%M:%S "+" %p")

TimerBull1 = False
TimerBull2 = True
TimerBull3 = True
TimerBull1 = timeticker(TimerBull1)
TimerBull2 = timeticker(TimerBull2)
TimerBull3 = timeticker(TimerBull3)

#

Oh I realized that you set one function to set it to True and the other to False

#

You can have it inverse the value in the function

So instead of hardcoding the True or False inside the function, you just use not on the variable

dhuh

now im extremely confused

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:09 PM

a lot of this would be better managed with a class and attributes

so you don't have to worry about parameters or global

for now
I managed to chop it down a bit

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

there's no sense in returning if you're calling the function via after()

you can't access that result

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:12 PM

makes sense

What do these "TimerBull" variables represent?

It's just a name scheme I came up from my annoyance of doing it this way lol

TimerBull-

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:17 PM

but how are these values used?

#

what are you using them to keep track of?

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

It's like a flow, I have no idea how to describe it

#

So in a way

#

0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
And then it repeats

#

For some reason doing it this way just lets the timer work without the recursion limit

#

I did this same tactic making this button switcher mabob

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:20 PM

chrome juniper but how are these values used?

The same code logic is what makes this work

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:22 PM

#

dark scroll The same code logic is what makes this work

this can be way simplified with a single value and a list

that isn't quite how you would use a class

you need an instance and attributes

could you give an example

btw I also made it rename the files before deleting them (just incase I wanted to recover it)

it's not a perfect implementation since I'd even likely be using another class for the tk.Tk, but it's good enough to demonstrate

well that makes sense, for some reason my mind kinda just- doesn't put 2 and 2 together

My mind goes, oh yeah those are the hardcoded key elements of coding, I don't really label them as classes or instances/etc

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:34 PM

#

when it comes to custom classes, we create instances by calling the class, just like you would with a function

#

class Car:
    pass

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:34 PM

#

When I think of arguments I just think of one piece of code sending a message to another piece of code

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:35 PM

if I have this Car class, I can create a new instance with Car()

new_car = Car()

#

dark scroll When I think of arguments I just think of one piece of code sending a message to...

when it comes to learning OOP, it usually reshapes the way you look at data

#

so now for __init__, it's simply a method of the class that gets called automatically when an instance is created

#

!e

class Car:

    def __init__(self):
        print("A car is born!")


new_car = Car()

huh okay wow

#

so for my dumbed down brain explanation, and if I'm correct, it's essentially a way to group functions together and call them all at the same time?

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

they don't have to all be called at the same time

#

a class is a collection of data and behaviours

#

right now my Car class is quite basic. It doesn't really have any data or behaviour (other than printing a message)

#

__init__ is also responsible for receiving any arguments you might want to pass into the instance

but it's still about what I could do with the language

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

dark scroll How many years have you been coding?

about 6

#

I'm self taught though, I didn't learn this in school

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

Ah

#

Yeah me too

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

I went to school for animation 🙂

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

Which explains why I have many gaping holes in my knowledge

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

chrome juniper I went to school for animation 🙂

Can you animate too?

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

I honestly don't think I touched classes for the first 6 months of python

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

dark scroll Can you animate too?

yeah, I used to work as an animator before I switched into more technical work

#

I still deal a lot with animation, I'm just not the one directly animating anymore

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

Still awesome to know

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

I deal with setting up characters for animation

#

which can be quite tedious, and is why python is important

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

To automate it?

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

yes, as much as possible

#

to save time, but also to eliminate human error

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

I made this program today (which includes the timer that I just made a bit of time ago)
And the entire reason I made it was to move a singular file from one directory to another, rename it, etc

#

Just to save time aswell

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

yeah, that's a big part of what I do as well

#

There's A LOT of files when it comes to making games

#

so keeping it all nice and orderly is super important

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

Specifically because I'm learning on being a reverse engineer at the exact same time and I've been learning a bit of C++
And since I'm a beginner I've just been experimenting a bunch of things with DLLs, and I have to keep recompiling and moving them

#

That's the entire reason I made this one program

#

And then I went into obsession for a couple hours trying to make it as optimized and "efficient" as possible

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

I honestly don't know what that means, haha. I don't know any c++

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

chrome juniper I honestly don't know what that means, haha. I don't know any c++

I'm "hacking" a game that died/shutdown and was designed for online play only, "hacking" it for good, basically getting the game to have private online servers to play on

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

what was the game?

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

It was made in Unreal Engine, so you have to inject it with a DLL

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

chrome juniper what was the game?

Rumbleverse

#

You've likely never heard of it, but maybe you have

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

ahh I played that a bit, haha

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

oh wow

#

crazy

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

maybe for just a few rounds before uninstalling 😉

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

you didn't like it?

#

dang, each to their own though

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

it was so-so. I saw potential though

#

I'm actually developing a fighting game with a small team

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

In the beginning or near end?

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

dark scroll In the beginning or near end?

I think it was pretty early into the release

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

chrome juniper I think it was pretty early into the release

Ah, it's improved a lot since then

#

I didn't get to actually play in the earlier versions, but I've gotten access to those builds and messed around a bit

#

It was super janky

#

It's alot better in it's current (frozen) state

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

yeah I'm pretty sure I would get knocked down and then like insta-die

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

If for some reason you want to revisit the game just let me know lol, it's open source

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

I think I'll pass for now

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

I had a project going on back then called ProjectKO, and I met a reverse engineer who literally got me where I am now

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

I'm learning unreal right now too

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

He was the one who actually made the server code

#

And then he quit after we got a shutdown "warning" from Iron Galaxy

#

So I'm working on learning all of the stuff so that I can finish it

#

And I've definitely made alot of progress so far

#

Either way I appreciate you taking the time to teach me some of the basics, I actually learned a bit from this

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:56 PM

#

np!

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

I might try to fix the timer later using classes and make the code clean

#

If you are able to + if you could please do me a favor, could you possibly clear / delete these messages or ?clear them or something?
the whole secret project being not so secret

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:58 PM

If you're ever interested in how python supports game development, I always recommend this video

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr7XYXMM7-U

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:58 PM

#

Yeah definitely

#

I opened it and it's in my "to-do" browser tabs

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:58 PM

#

dark scroll If you are able to + if you could please do me a favor, could you possibly clear...

The thread will get buried pretty quickly, but unfortunately you would have to delete your own messages if you want them gone

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 1:59 PM

#

I see, it's fine honestly (this may or may not come back to bite me but oh well)

#

Thank you either way!

chrome juniper Aug 7, 2024, 1:59 PM

#

Happy to help!

dark scroll Aug 7, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

I'll see you in another help ticket in the future

#

Bye for now
