Frankly thats the least of your problems. You need to consider how you are going to pass references to the various widgets around, which, if you don't use classes/objects, will mean lots of global variables. For example your Nick() function tries to access a widget called child1.box_txt but no such widget exists. There is a box_txt local variable inside child1 but that variable is destroyed as soon as child1 exits. You will need to pass that value out to a global variable for Nick() - and any other event handler - to see it. The same applies to the Entry field. And the same applies to the widgets created in child2() Creating a random number is easily done in a separate function which can be called from anywhere in your program, you don't need to worry about where it is located. But until you have references to your widgets you won't be able to display the random number or do much of anything withb the windows you are creating. Also child2 and child3 are identical except for the title, so why not make them a single function with a title parameter. Then you can just call the function with the title text as an argument. here is my code from Tkinter import* root = Tk() root.title("main screen") root.maxsize(width=350,height=200) root.minsize(width=350,height=200) root.resizable(width=YES,height=YES) def child1(): c1 = Toplevel(root) c1.guess_ent = Entry(c1, width = 35,) c1.guess_ent.grid(row = 14, column = 0) c1.box_txt = Text(c1, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD) c1.box_txt.grid(row = 3, column = 0, columnspan=2) c1.title("easy") c1.geometry("200x200") Button(c1,text="clear", command = NIck).grid(row=1,column=0) Button(c1,text="new game",).grid(row=1,column=1) def NIck(): child1.box_txt.delete(0.0, END) def child2(): c2 = Toplevel(root) box_txt = Text(c2, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD) box_txt.grid(row = 3, column = 0, columnspan=2,sticky = W) c2.title("medium") c2.geometry("200x200") def child3(): c3 = Toplevel(root) box_txt = Text(c3, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD) box_txt.grid(row = 3, column = 0, columnspan=2,sticky = W) c3.title("hard") c3.geometry("200x200") Label(root,text = "choose which game you would like to play").grid(row=0,column=0,columnspan=2) Button(root,text="easy",command=child1).grid(row=1,column=0) Button(root,text="medium",command=child2).grid(row=1,column=1) Button(root,text="hard",command=child3).grid(row=1,column=3) This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
