tkinter (python): assign class method to a key

Question

In my simple code, a red ball is falling down in a straight line (that\'s working). When I push the right arrow key, I want the ball to also move in right direction. This is no

Answer 1

You must bind the right key to the canvas inside the class, and set the focus on the canvas:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

canvas = Canvas(root, height=400, width=500, background='black')
canvas.pack()


class Bird:
    def __init__(self, canvas, coords):
        self.canvas = canvas
        self.coords = coords
        self.bird = canvas.create_rectangle(coords, fill='red')
        self.canvas.bind('', self.moveRight)
        self.canvas.focus_set()

    def gravity(self):
        self.canvas.move(self.bird, 0, 10)
        self.canvas.after(200, self.gravity)

    def moveRight(self, event=None):
        self.canvas.move(self.bird, 10, 0)
        self.canvas.after(200, self.moveRight)


bird = Bird(canvas, (100, 100, 110, 110))

bird.gravity()

root.mainloop()
