Unicode Dice Roller App – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial 194

In this video we’ll build a fun Unicode Dice Roller app that rolls to dice, and then adds the total and outputs it onto the screen, along with actual unicode dice as well.

We’ve created random dice roller apps before, but this time we’ll be using these fun unicode dice that are crazy easy to use.

Python Code: dice.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
import random

root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - Roll the Dice')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("500x500")

# Get The Dice Number
def get_number(x):
	if x == '\u2680':
		return(1)
	elif x == '\u2681':
		return(2)
	elif x == '\u2682':
		return(3)
	elif x == '\u2683':
		return(4)
	elif x == '\u2684':
		return(5)
	elif x == '\u2685':
		return(6)

# Roll the dice
def roll_dice():
	# Roll Random Dice
	d1 = random.choice(my_dice)
	d2 = random.choice(my_dice)

	# Determine Dice Number
	sd1 = get_number(d1)
	sd2 = get_number(d2)

	# Update Labels
	dice_label1.config(text=d1)
	dice_label2.config(text=d2)

	# Update Sub Labels
	sub_dice_label1.config(text=sd1)
	sub_dice_label2.config(text=sd2)

	# Update Total Label
	total = sd1 + sd2
	total_label.config(text=f"You Rolled: {total}")


# Create A Dice List
my_dice = ['\u2680', '\u2681','\u2682','\u2683','\u2684','\u2685',]

# Create a Frame
my_frame = Frame(root)
my_frame.pack(pady=20)

# Create Dice Labels
dice_label1 = Label(my_frame, text='', font=("Helvetica", 100), fg="black")
dice_label1.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=5)
sub_dice_label1 = Label(my_frame, text="")
sub_dice_label1.grid(row=1, column=0)

dice_label2 = Label(my_frame, text='', font=("Helvetica", 100), fg="black")
dice_label2.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=5)
sub_dice_label2 = Label(my_frame, text="")
sub_dice_label2.grid(row=1, column=1)


# Create Roll Button
my_button = Button(root, text="Roll Dice", command=roll_dice, font=("Helvetica", 24))
my_button.pack(pady=20)

# Create Totals Label
total_label = Label(root, text="", font=("Helvetica", 24), fg="grey")
total_label.pack(pady=40)


# Roll the dice
roll_dice()

root.mainloop()
