Create A Deck Of Cards And Deal Them Out – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial 206

In this video I’ll show you how to create a deck of cards with images for Tkinter and Python.

We’ll shuffle the deck of cards, and deal out a card to a dealer and a player. Then we’ll create a button to deal out two more cards.

We’ll keep track of who has what cards, and when the deck is empty, the game will end.

This is a good foundation for creating just about any card game with Tkinter.

Python Code: deck.py
(Github Code)

root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - Card Deck')

	# output the card
	global our_card_image
	our_card_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(our_card_resize_image)

	# Return that card
	return our_card_image
