How to make a circle follow the mouse pointer?
-2
I am trying to make 2D shooter with Python tkinter.
Here are my progress:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
c = Canvas(root, height=500, width=500, bg='blue')
c.pack()
circle1x = 250
circle1y = 250
circle2x = 250
circle2y = 250
circle1 = c.create_oval(circle1x, circle1y, circle1x + 10, circle1y + 10, outline='white')
circle2 = c.create_rectangle(circle2x, circle2y,circle2x + 10, circle2y + 10)
pos1 = c.coords(circle1)
pos2 = c.coords(circle2)
c.move(circle1, 250 - pos1[0], 250 - pos1[2])
c.move(circle2, 250 - pos1[0], 250 - pos1[2])
beginWall = c.create_rectangle(0, 200, 500, 210, outline='white')
def move_circle(event):
pass
c.bind('<Motion>', move_circle)
root.mainloop()
But I am trying to make the function called move_circle make circle1 and circle2 follow the mouse pointer . Something like this c.goto(circle1, x, y).

Hi, Harry, welcome to Stack Overflow. I can't answer your question, but I can suggest you to use a better title for it. "I am trying to make a game" is not a question, and doesn't give the relevant information of what is your problem. How about renaming it to something like "How can I make a circle follow the mouse in tkinter?"?

You can do it by modifying the coordinates of the two "circles" in the move_circle() event handler function. A simple calculation is done to make it so the centers of these two objects are positioned at the "tip" of the mouse pointer (see image below).
Note, I also modified your code to more closely follow the PEP 8 - Style Guide for Python Code coding guidelines.
import tkinter as tk
# Constants
CIRCLE1_X = 250
CIRCLE1_Y = 250
CIRCLE2_X = 250
CIRCLE2_Y = 250
SIZE = 10 # Height and width of the two "circle" Canvas objects.
EXTENT = SIZE // 2 # Their height and width as measured from center.
root = tk.Tk()
c = tk.Canvas(root, height=500, width=500, bg='blue')
c.pack()
circle1 = c.create_oval(CIRCLE1_X, CIRCLE1_Y,
CIRCLE1_X + SIZE, CIRCLE1_Y + SIZE,
outline='white')
circle2 = c.create_rectangle(CIRCLE2_X, CIRCLE2_Y,
CIRCLE2_X + SIZE, CIRCLE2_Y + SIZE)
pos1 = c.coords(circle1)
pos2 = c.coords(circle2)
c.move(circle1, 250-pos1[0], 250-pos1[2])
c.move(circle2, 250-pos1[0], 250-pos1[2])
begin_wall = c.create_rectangle(0, 200, 500, 210, outline='white')
def move_circles(event):
# Move two "circle" widgets so they're centered at event.x, event.y.
x0, y0 = event.x - EXTENT, event.y - EXTENT
x1, y1 = event.x + EXTENT, event.y + EXTENT
c.coords(circle1, x0, y0, x1, y1)
c.coords(circle2, x0, y0, x1, y1)
c.bind('<Motion>', move_circles)
root.mainloop()

Harry://is the floor division operator and is used so the result is an integer instead of floating-point value.mainloop()is a universal widget method that contains a loop that continually processes keyboard and mouse events from the user. Alltkinterapps must call it at some point to give the GUI itself a chance to "run". Here's some documentation I found about it.

Careful,//does not guarantee "an integer instead of floating-point value". Considerange(SIZE // 2)It works ifSIZEis10but throws an error ifSIZEis10.0-- you may still need anint()wrapper depending on what you're doing. Perhaps it guarantees an integral value but not an integer one?

Dec 25 '18 at 20:53
@cdlane: While what you say is true, floor division of integers results in an integer rather than the floating-point value regular division would have produced—exactly what's intended in this usage case. In fact everything would still work in this case ifSIZEhad been set to10.5so I guess it's not that important of a point.

Harry://is the floor division operator and is used so the result is an integer instead of floating-point value.mainloop()is a universal widget method that contains a loop that continually processes keyboard and mouse events from the user. Alltkinterapps must call it at some point to give the GUI itself a chance to "run". Here's some documentation I found about it.

Careful,//does not guarantee "an integer instead of floating-point value". Considerange(SIZE // 2)It works ifSIZEis10but throws an error ifSIZEis10.0-- you may still need anint()wrapper depending on what you're doing. Perhaps it guarantees an integral value but not an integer one?

@cdlane: While what you say is true, floor division of integers results in an integer rather than the floating-point value regular division would have produced—exactly what's intended in this usage case. In fact everything would still work in this case ifSIZEhad been set to10.5so I guess it's not that important of a point.

Hi, Harry, welcome to Stack Overflow. I can't answer your question, but I can suggest you to use a better title for it. "I am trying to make a game" is not a question, and doesn't give the relevant information of what is your problem. How about renaming it to something like "How can I make a circle follow the mouse in tkinter?"?
