I am trying to implement a piano game. The rules are simple: a note is played and after 5 seconds the answer is shown. The problem is that I want the user to be able to play the notes while the program waits for those 5 seconds. Right now the program creates a new GUI window when the the gamemode's process starts.
Gamemode class:
from multiprocessing import Process
import random
import time
class Practice(Process):
def __init__(self, keys, rounds = 5):
super(Process, self).__init__()
self.rounds = rounds
self.keys = keys
def run(self):
for i in range(3):
answer = self.__random_key()
answer.play()
time.sleep(3)
print("woke up")
self.show_answer()
def show_answer(self, answer):
print(f"Answer is: {answer.name}")
def __random_key(self):
return self.keys[random.randint(0, len(self.keys) - 1)]
piano key class:
import asyncio
import copy
import time
from tkinter import Button
from pygame import mixer
class PianoKey():
def __init__(self, master, note = None, octave = None, color = None):
self.master = master
self.note = note
self.color = color
self.octave = octave
self.name = f"{note}{octave}"
self.button = Button(self.master, bg = color, command = lambda : self.play())
def get_piano_button(self):
return self.button
def empty_copy(self):
button = self.button
self.button = None
result = copy.copy(self)
self.button = button
def change_color(self, color):
self.button.config(bg = color)
def play(self):
path = "PATH_OF_NOTES_FOLDER"
print(f"played {self.name}")
# mixer.music.load("B3.mp3")
# mixer.music.play()

CodePudding user response：
Use the root.after() method. It can delay like time.sleep() but can also call a function when the timeout finishes. In this way, the user can play the piano notes while the program is waiting. Here is a tutorial regarding root.after().
