I'm working on a project to design a chessboard. I have successfully created the Board, my goal currently is to be able to edit the board. my original idea is to use buttons with the Tkinter grid to make the moves work. I decided to make the board using: window.geometry("800x500") window.minsize(800, 500) #Locking the size of the Display window.maxsize(800, 500) #Adding the board SeenBoard = tk.Frame(window, width=300, height=300,padx=5,pady=5) #Adds padding to the grid SeenBoard.pack(side=tk.LEFT) #the left isnt needed yet, but will be later for row in range(8): # 8 Rows along for column in range(8): #8 Columns down tk.Button(SeenBoard,text=f"{row},{column}",width=5,height=3).grid(row=row, column=column) #Creates each button window.mainloop() #Idk what this really does? it just kinda works. My problem is that with this way of making the board, I cannot edit the buttons, nor locate them. I wish to be able to change the colour of each button, to alternate between green and white, for that grid pattern feel. In order to do this I only can think of two ways at least, and that would be to somehow give each of the buttons an identifier beforehand, such as labelling them all as Grid1_1.button(...) My problem with doing it manually is that I want to keep the code concise and not repetitive, so anyway in which I could add lots of them at once would solve my problem. Second solution to my knowledge: somehow having the ability with tkinter to select a specific grid slot, such as 2,2. and then trying to modify it with that, I heard about grid slaves, but I'm too small brained to understand how it works. My request if possible: if possible I would like to know the solution or even the concept behind trying to alternate the colour of the board in a pattern. any method any solution that would allow me to access a button, and change its text/colour. there is also the high chance I'm not being smart, I've worded something wrong or misunderstood it, any guidance would be extremely appreciated!
