Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Im trying to optimize my menu function since it has to calculate the UI each time its called. im making the recalculate function so it can just store and use the post-calculated variables. i want to call recalculate each time i click a button. i also want to move my hover button logic to my menu function

#

and im not sure how to without using global variables or something

#

this is what it looks like for reference. My cursor is above the "next" button which changes color themes

I'm not sure but I think it's not possible to optimize it further (I haven't checked your code yet) since you have to refresh the UI to check for input anyway

#

Ah wait there is some refactoring possible

#

You're calling menu() twice in the main() loop

#

That feels redundant

#

Using global variables also feels unnecessary as you can pass the params directly

#

recalculate() is completely redundant

#

You can embed the logic in menu() directly

#

This should be better

#

Not too different from your original just slightly refactored

I used AI to generate parts for the code and it works well form my testing
