Started working on a school project, which is going to be a choose your own ending story, but the catch is I’m making it in python+tkinter instead of on paper.

This is special for a few reasons, one, it’s something I HAVE to finish, but also, one that I am especially trying to make look good, and planned out. In fact, this is the first time I drew up some design docs just for the layout, and so far it’s matching really well.

What I’ve learned so far has been fairly basic, but I’m still sorta new to tkinter. I’ve learned how to use radiobuttons, different frames and hiding them, and tkVars so far. On top of that, this is the first time I’m doing anything with my own code, rather than following a tutorial and branching off into my own, so that’s really nice.

It’s gonna be something like a title screen with an image and label, onto a ‘page’ with the text and choices below, with a history bar to the right, allowing quick page changes, to any section of the story. That history bar is actually what I’m going to start on now, since I’ve got no idea what the proper name for that even is…

Turns out it was a list box. I need a listbox.

Here’s where I’m at now, check it out top left to right:
