How can I add collisions to a list of objects (circles) in tkinter?

import time
from tkinter import *
import random
class SpaceField:
def __init__(self):
self.window = Tk()
self.window.title("Asteriods")
self.canvas = self.canvas_display() #creates canvas
self.asteriods = self.asteriod_creation_seperation() #creates asteroids
self.active = True
self.move_active() #Moves asteroids
self.canvas.update()
def asteriod_creation_seperation(self): #creation of multple asteriods
asteriod_spacingx = random.randint(1,800)
asteriod_spacingy = random.randint(1,800)
asteriod_list = list() # could list([])
for i in range(15):
asteriod = self.canvas.create_oval( 30, 50 , 80 , 100 , tags="asteriod", width=2, outline="white")
asteriod_list.append("asteriod")
self.canvas.move(asteriod, asteriod_spacingx, asteriod_spacingy)
asteriod_spacingx = random.randint(1,500)
asteriod_spacingy = random.randint(1,500)
print(asteriod_spacingy)
return asteriod_list
Asteroid Creation. Creates asteroids and gives them random positions.
def asteriod_update(self): #asteriods movement method #MAin problem
x12 = 1
self.canvas.move("asteriod", 3, x12)
pos = self.canvas.coords("asteriod")
print(pos)
if (pos)[2] > 500:
x12 *= 5
I think this is where I need to add the collision detection. I just have no idea how to combine the lists of the circles and the collisions.
def move_active(self): #Basically a true loop
if self.active:
self.asteriod_update()
self.window.after(40, self.move_active)
def canvas_display(self): #canvas
canvas = Canvas(self.window, width=500, height=400, background='black')
canvas.pack(expand=True, fill="both")
canvas.update()
return canvas
Canvas display nothing special
def run(self):
self.window.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
SpaceF = SpaceField()
SpaceF.run()

Asteroids is a classic game but there were a number of problems in your code. The main one was calling move_active during initialization. This prevented the code from completing its mainloop initialization.
The other problem was the asteroid_update method that basically didn't do anything, also using tags to control all asteroids didn't work either.
Everything else was OK, although you might consider using polygons.
Here is one way to produce a bouncing objects program. I've inserted remarks that describe the methods used.
Objects change the speed and direction when they hit the boundary so their trajectories are randomized.
from tkinter import *
from random import randint as rnd
class SpaceField:
def __init__(self):
self.window = Tk()
self.window.title("Asteriods")
# Define canvas size and active flag
self.wide, self.high, self.active = 500, 400, True
self.canvas_display()
self.asteriod_creation_seperation()
def asteriod_creation_seperation(self):
self.asteroids, self.speed = [], []
size, radius = 50, 25
for i in range(15):
spacex = rnd(size, self.wide - size)
spacey = rnd(size, self.high - size)
self.asteroids.append( # Store oval item id
self.canvas.create_oval(
spacex, spacey, spacex+size, spacey+size,
width=2, tags = "asteriod", outline = "white"))
self.speed.append((rnd(1,4),rnd(1,4))) # Store random speed x, y
def asteriod_update(self): # MAIN DRIVER: Work on ALL asteroids
for i, a in enumerate(self.asteroids):
xx, yy = self.speed[i] # get speed data
x, y, w, h = self.canvas.coords(a)
# check for boundary hit then change direction and speed
if x < 0 or w > self.wide:
xx = -xx * rnd(1, 4)
if y < 0 or h > self.high:
yy = -yy * rnd(1, 4)
# Limit max and min speed then store it
self.speed[i] = (max( -4, min( xx, 4)), max( -4, min( yy, 4 )))
self.canvas.move(a, xx, yy) # update asteroid position
def move_active(self):
if self.active:
self.asteriod_update()
self.window.after(40, self.move_active)
def canvas_display(self):
self.canvas = Canvas(
self.window, width = self.wide,
height = self.high, background = "black")
self.canvas.pack(expand = True, fill = "both")
def run(self): # Begin asteroids here so that mainloop is executed
self.window.after(200, self.move_active)

python tkinter bouncing ball game

I'm making a basic game. I want the ball to bounce back up ONLY when it hits the platform. So far, I've written code that will make the ball bounce off the top and bottom screen, but I'm having trouble with getting the ball to bounce off the platform.
from tkinter import *
import time
import tkinter
tk = Tk()
canvas = Canvas(tk, bg="white",width=(900),height=(500))
canvas.pack()
platform = canvas.create_rectangle(400,400,500,410)
def ball():
xspeed = 2
yspeed = 2
ball = canvas.create_oval(430,10,470,50)
while True:
canvas.move(ball, xspeed, yspeed)
pos = canvas.coords(ball)
if pos[2] >=900 or pos[0] <0:
xspeed = -xspeed
tk.update()
time.sleep(0.01)
def board():
board_right()
board_left()
def board_right(event):
xspeed = 5
yspeed = 0
canvas.move(platform,xspeed,yspeed)
tk.update
time.sleep(0.01)
def board_left(event):
xspeed = 5
yspeed = 0
canvas.move(platform,-xspeed,yspeed)
tk.update()
time.sleep(0.01)
canvas.bind_all("<Right>",board_right)
canvas.bind_all("<Left>",board_left)
ball()
tk.mainloop()

Do not use time.sleep() as it will block the tkinter mainloop, use after() instead.
To check whether the ball hits the platform, you need to get the center x of the ball and the lower y of the ball. If center x is within the left and right of platform and the ball lower y is the platform upper y, then reverse the ball y speed. Otherwise game over!
Below is sample code based on yours:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
width = 900
height = 500
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, bg='white', width=width, height=height)
canvas.pack()
ball = canvas.create_oval(430, 10, 470, 50, fill='green')
platform_y = height - 20
platform = canvas.create_rectangle(width//2-50, platform_y, width//2+50, platform_y+10, fill='black')
# ball moving speed
xspeed = yspeed = 2
def move_ball():
global xspeed, yspeed
x1, y1, x2, y2 = canvas.coords(ball)
if x1 <= 0 or x2 >= width:
# hit wall, reverse x speed
xspeed = -xspeed
if y1 <= 0:
# hit top wall
yspeed = 2
elif y2 >= platform_y:
# calculate center x of the ball
cx = (x1 + x2) // 2
# check whether platform is hit
px1, _, px2, _ = canvas.coords(platform)
if px1 <= cx <= px2:
yspeed = -2
else:
canvas.create_text(width//2, height//2, text='Game Over', font=('Arial Bold', 32), fill='red')
return
canvas.move(ball, xspeed, yspeed)
canvas.after(20, move_ball)
def board_right(event):
x1, y1, x2, y2 = canvas.coords(platform)
# make sure the platform is not moved beyond right wall
if x2 < width:
dx = min(width-x2, 10)
canvas.move(platform, dx, 0)
def board_left(event):
x1, y1, x2, y2 = canvas.coords(platform)
# make sure the platform is not moved beyond left wall
if x1 > 0:
dx = min(x1, 10)
canvas.move(platform, -dx, 0)
canvas.bind_all('<Right>', board_right)
canvas.bind_all('<Left>', board_left)
move_ball()
root.mainloop()

tkinter python - Can I create window collision?

New to programming. Working on a simple pong clone. Started the ball but want to make sure all sides of the window (500x500) will have the ball bounce off of it. How could I do this? Thanks!
P.S. This is my current code if needed.
import threading
import random
import time
import string
import os.path
from random import randint
from tkinter import *
class Pong:
Title = 'Pong'
Size = '500x500'
class Ball:
def __init__(self,canvas,x1,y1,x2,y2):
self.x1 =x1
self.y1 = y1
self.x2 = x2
self.y2 = y2
self.canvas = canvas
self.ball = canvas.create_oval(self.x1, self.y1, self.x2, self.y2, fill="black")
def move_ball(self):
deltax = randint(0,5)
deltay = randint(0,5)
self.canvas.move(self.ball,deltax,deltay)
self.canvas.after(50,self.move_ball)
def PongGame():
print("Moved to PongGame.")
ball1 = Ball(canvas,10,10,30,30)
ball1.move_ball()
def titleButtonClicked(event):
print("Title screen button clicked.")
btn.pack_forget()
btn.place(x=600,y=600)
msg.pack_forget()
PongGame()
root = Tk()
root.geometry(Pong.Size)
root.title(Pong.Title)
root.resizable(False,False)
msg = Label(root, text = Pong.Title, font = ("", 50))
msg.pack()
canvas = Canvas(root, width = 500, height = 500)
canvas.pack()
btn=Button(root, text = "Start")
btn.bind('<Button-1>', titleButtonClicked)
btn.place(x=220,y=300)
root.mainloop()

Collisions are not trivial; the simplest is to reverse the x or the y velocity after checking which edge of the bounding box of the ball intersects with the boundaries of the canvas.
Maybe something like this:
import random
import tkinter as tk
WIDTH, HEIGHT = 500, 500
class Ball:
radius = 10
spawn_center = (250, 100)
def __init__(self, canvas):
self.canvas = canvas
self.id = None
self.create_ball()
self.velocity = None
self.assign_random_velocity()
self.keep_moving = True
self.move()
def create_ball(self):
xc, yc = self.spawn_center
x0, y0, = xc - self.radius, yc + self.radius
x1, y1, = xc + self.radius, yc - self.radius
self.id = self.canvas.create_oval(x0, y0, x1, y1)
def assign_random_velocity(self):
dx = random.randrange(1, 5) * random.choice((1, -1))
dy = random.randrange(1, 5) * random.choice((1, -1))
self.velocity = (dx, dy)
def move(self):
if self.keep_moving is None:
return
self.check_collision()
self.canvas.move(self.id, *self.velocity)
self.keep_moving = self.canvas.after(10, self.move)
def cancel_move(self):
if self.keep_moving is not None:
self.canvas.after_cancel(self.keep_moving)
self.keep_moving = None
def check_collision(self):
x0, y0, x1, y1 = self.canvas.coords(self.id)
dx, dy = self.velocity
if x0 < 0:
x0 = 0
dx = -dx
elif x1 > WIDTH:
x1 = WIDTH
dx = -dx
if y0 < 0:
y0 = 0
dy = -dy
elif y1 > HEIGHT:
y1 = HEIGHT
dy = -dy
self.velocity = dx, dy
class PongBoard(tk.Canvas):
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
super().__init__(self.master)
self.ball = None
self.spawn_new_ball()
def spawn_new_ball(self):
if self.ball is not None:
self.ball.cancel_move()
self.delete(self.ball.id)
self.ball = Ball(self)
root = Tk()
root.geometry(f'{WIDTH}x{HEIGHT+20}')
board = PongBoard(root)
new_ball_btn = tk.Button(root, text='spawn new ball', command=board.spawn_new_ball)
board.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)
new_ball_btn.pack()
root.mainloop()
This will get you started, but you will have to implement the paddles, the paddles movement, the collision checking of the ball with the paddles, and keep the score by yourself.

start, exit, try again buttons

created this game called snake.I was wondering if anyone can help me create a window before the game opens, which contains the start button, exit button and instructions manual so that when i click start, the game starts and when I click exit, the game is terminated. I would also like a try again button that loops the game when the player loses the game, and a quit button which terminates the program. Here is the code for my snake game

tkinter molecular simulation issue

I have constructed a lattice of particles with tkinter and now I would like each particle in the lattice to move according to a list of x and y coordinates that I read into an array from two text files. I have tried to create a class with a function inside that defines movement with the canvas.move function but I get the error TclError: wrong # coordinates: expected 0 or 4, got 400. How to get around this?

You have to save items on list and use this list to move
I copy example from previous question
import tkinter as tk

# --- functions ---
def move():
for point_id in points:
x = random.randint(-1, 1)
y = random.randint(-1, 1)
canvas.move(point_id, x, y)
root.after(100, move)
# --- main ---
points = []
root = tk.Tk()
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width=100, height=100)
canvas.pack()
for x in range(4, 100, 10):
for y in range(4, 100, 10):
point_id = canvas.create_oval(x, y, x, y, fill="red")
points.append(point_id)
move()
root.mainloop()
EDIT: with your class but without data from file.
I use random instead of data from files to show how to create particles and move them.
Every ball moves with own speed/direction which change when touch border.
