How to prevent tkinter from freezing

Question

I am working on a chess game. My game works perfectly when i run it on windows console but when i use tkinter, it starts freezing when it generate best move for computer.

class chessGame:
...
def computerMove(self):
...
generateChoice() #This takes about 5-10 sec, program start freezing from here
...

I have googled it but i couldn't find any answer for my problem :(

Answer 1

i'm not familiar with python or tkinter. but if i take a guess the calculation process is taking place in the main/window handling thread.

maybe try to run the calculation in different thread
