How to set up try again button with wins, loss, and guesses scoreboard

Question

Hi I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up a button that appears when I either run out of guesses or when I win the game. I would also like this button to keep the amount of wins, losses, and guesses I have left. I currently have it so it counts down the guesses until 0 but I don not think I have anything else. I would love the help thank you so much.

from tkinter import *
import random
from time import sleep
import sys

randomNumber = random.randint(1,13)
if randomNumber == 11:
    randomNumber = 'Jack'
elif randomNumber == 12:
    randomNumber = 'Queen'
elif randomNumber == 13:
    randomNumber = 'King'
elif randomNumber == 1:
    randomNumber = 'Ace'
randomSuit = ('Clubs Diamonds Hearts Spades' .split())
cardSuit = random.choice(randomSuit)
card = str(randomNumber) + ' of ' + cardSuit

win = 0
loss = 0
guesses = 5

def submit(s):
    global textentry
    global guesses
    global win
    global loss
    entered_text=textentry.get() #collect text from entry box
    output = Label(window, text='', width=30, height=3, bg='white')
    output.grid(row=8, column=0, sticky=N, pady=20)
    textentry.delete(0, END)

    if card.lower() == entered_text.lower():
        output = Label(window, text='You won!', width=30, height=3, bg='white')
        win = win + 1
        wins = Label(window, text='Wins: ' + str(win), bg='#004d00', fg='white') .grid(row=11, column=0, sticky=W)
        losses = Label(window, text='Losses: ' + str(loss), bg='#004d00', fg='white') .grid(row=12, column=0, sticky=W)

Answer 1

I found a few things:

I'm getting an error when I call the function submit():

TypeError: submit() missing 1 required positional argument: 's'

because I'm not passing any arguments when I press the button. Since you don't use the argument for anything you can write it as:

def submit(*s):

The star tells the function to accept zero ar more argument and to store them in s.

The same thing with the stop() function. I also think maybe it is better to destroy the window than to use sys.exit().

def stop(*e):
    window.destroy()

As you are giving these buttoans a callback function you don't need to also bind them to the mouse button

s.bind('<Button-1>', submit)     # Not necessary

set up a button

As for the button you can create it and then forget it until you want to display it again:

t = Button(window, text='Try again', ... , command=try_again)
t.grid(row=12, column=0, sticky=N)   # Did not quite understand your layout
t.grid_remove()     # Hide the button

Then in the submit() function you can show it again.

if guesses == 0:
    ...
    t.grid()        # It will remember its place

The easiest way to store the amount of wins, losses, and guesses is what you already have, in variables. Then write the try_again() function and let it assign new values to your variables.
