Need help with program

[GuyGalaxy]

Hey there!

 

I need some help with a program I am writing. I am entry level and this is my first independent project I want to tackle. I want to make a Ouija Board program, where the user asks a question (by typing it into a chat kind of box), and then the pointer piece on the board moves around to spell out the answer (where as it selects each letter, it writes it down in the response box).

 

I want to do this in python or c# (preferably python), and I want to know where to start. Thanks !

How are you planning on generating the responses?

First, just make the program do what you want it to do. Enter a question, and it returns a response. This can all be done with no GUI at all. Just simple text i/o.

 

Then start adding a GUI on top of it.

Personally I don't have much experience with python, but for this, your probably should be starting off with a baseline off a first question, and a response. From there add on the ouija board as a background and make a pointer that moves with the letters in the response in that certain order.

 

From there just keep creating questions and responses through what you first did.

(Also, if you want it to be efficient, don't keep copy and pasting all the specific movements for the pointer for each ouija board, just make a part that allows it to read the string of text and have specific letters to go to, with a duration of time between each text)

Okay, and would I just use Tkinter modules for the GUI? Or is there a better way to go about this type of GUI?

I prefer Kivy for GUIs
