Due to a request, I made this simple code to make a test with tkinter. It is very rough, but the logic works, so that\u00a0 you can make the adjustment you want to make it seem prettier.<\/p>\n

The starting window<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the main window there is a little explanation of what to do.<\/p>\n

import tkinter as tk\r\n\r\nroot = tk.Tk()\r\nlabel = tk.Label(root, text=\"TEST\", bg=\"gold\", fg=\"blue\", font=\"Arial 24\")\r\nlabel.pack()\r\ntext = tk.Text(root)\r\ntext.pack()\r\nroot.mainloop()<\/pre>\n
This is the window with the label and a text widget. Let’s add the code to create the questions.<\/p>\n
The window for the test<\/h2>\n
Your question go here:<\/p>\n
quest = [\r\n\t\t(\"what is 1+1?\",\"2\"),\r\n\t\t(\"What is 50*2?\",\"100\"),\r\n\t\t(\"What is the capital of Italy?\", \"Rome\")\r\n]<\/pre>\n
This is where you put your questions and answers. It’s all you need to change to personalize the test. It will work with as many questions you want.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>The question will have this way to show themselves. There is the focus on the entry, so that you can answer without having to position yourself on the widget with the mouse. You just write and then hit Enter… and you go to the next question. As fast as you want.<\/p>\n
The final window<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>When the test ends, you see the score and you can close the window pressing the button.<\/p>\n
The entire code<\/h2>\n
This is the code of the program to make tests with python and tkinter.<\/p>\n
import tkinter as tk\r\n\r\nquest = [\r\n\t\t(\"what is 1+1?\",\"2\"),\r\n\t\t(\"What is 50*2?\",\"100\"),\r\n\t\t(\"What is the capital of Italy?\", \"Rome\")\r\n]\r\nnumdom = len(quest)\r\nscore = 0\r\nnum = 0\r\ndef d1():\r\n\tglobal num, score, entry\r\n\tif num == numdom:\r\n\t\ttext.pack_forget()\r\n\t\tentry.pack_forget()\r\n\t\tbutton['text'] = f\"Score {score}\\n Click to Close this window\"\r\n\t\tbutton['command'] = game_over\r\n\t\tbutton.pack()\r\n\t\treturn\r\n\r\n\tif num == 0:\r\n\t\tanswer_widget()\r\n\troot.geometry(\"400x200+100+200\")\r\n\ttext['height'] = 1\r\n\ttext['bg'] = 'cyan'\r\n\ttext['width'] = 50\r\n\ttext.delete(\"1.0\",tk.END)\r\n\ttext.insert(\"1.0\",quest[num][0])\r\n\tbutton.pack_forget()\r\n\tnum+=1\r\n\r\ndef game_over():\r\n\troot.destroy()\r\n\r\ndef answer_widget():\r\n\tglobal entry\r\n\tentry = tk.Entry(root, textvariable=solution, bg=\"yellow\", font=\"Arial 20\")\r\n\tentry.pack()\r\n\tentry.bind(\"<Return>\", lambda x: check())\r\n\tentry.focus()\r\n\r\ndef check():\r\n\tglobal n, score\r\n\tif solution.get() == quest[num-1][1]:\r\n\t\ttext.insert(tk.END, \"Right\")\r\n\t\tscore+=1\r\n\telse:\r\n\t\ttext.insert(tk.END, \"Wrong\")\r\n\tsolution.set(\"\")\r\n\td1()\r\n\r\nroot = tk.Tk()\r\nlabel = tk.Label(root, text = \"\"\"Test\"\"\", bg=\"coral\", font=\"Arial 48\")\r\nlabel.pack()\r\nrules = \"\"\"Answer to the Following questions\r\n\r\nClick on the button below to start\r\nYou will see a question\r\nWrite your answer and press Enter\r\n\"\"\"\r\ntext = tk.Text(root, height=12,font=\"Arial 20\")\r\ntext.insert(\"1.0\", rules)\r\ntext.pack()\r\nbutton = tk.Button(root, text=\"Click To Start\", bg=\"black\", fg=\"white\", command=d1, font=\"Arial 20\")\r\nbutton.pack()\r\nsolution = tk.StringVar()\r\n\r\nroot.mainloop()\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
A video that shows the output of the test program<\/h2>\n

Some changes in the score<\/h2>\n
I added some more features:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • You can see if the answer is right or wrong after each answer<\/li>\n
  • There is a little pause among questions to let you see the result<\/li>\n
  • you can see the total score<\/li>\n
  • you get a percentage of the result at the end<\/li>\n
  • color changes if you are wright or wrong<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A test with 2 possible answer in no time at all<\/h2>\n
    Let’s see how we can adapt the code so that we do not have to write all the questions with the answer alongside when you have just to possible answer, like in true false test or any other test with the same two (or three, four…) possible answer. How you do it?<\/p>\n
    1. Create a list for each answer<\/h3>\n
    f = \"\"\"Denaro in Cassa\r\nBanca x c\/c\r\nCrediti v\/clienti\r\nDebiti v\/fornitori\r\nIva a ns credito\r\nIva a ns debito\r\nMutui passivi\r\nRatei passivi\r\nRatei crediti\r\n\"\"\".splitlines()<\/pre>\n
    The list above contains the list that has “f” (financial accounts)<\/p>\n
    e = \"\"\"Merci c\/acquisti\r\nMerci c\/vendite\r\nAttrezzature\r\nStipendi\r\nArredi\r\nBrevetti\r\nSoftware\r\nComputer\r\nTovagliato\r\nUtenze elettriche\r\nUtenze telefoniche\r\n\"\"\".splitlines()<\/pre>\n
    This are the economic accounts list.<\/p>\n
    Then we join and shuffle these lists into one:<\/p>\n
    num_questions = len(f) + len(e)\r\n\r\nfe = f + e\r\nshuffle(fe)<\/pre>\n
    answer = []\r\nfor q in fe:\r\n\tif q in f:\r\n\t\tanswer.append(\"f\")\r\n\telse:\r\n\t\tanswer.append(\"e\")<\/pre>\n
    Above we created a list with the solution of the fe shuffled accounts<\/p>\n
    Now we have to take this data into the quest list of tuples that we used in the program to make our question. The quest data are tuples with a question and the answer as items of the tuple. We get the first by the fe list and the seccond by the answer list.<\/p>\n
    quest = []\r\nfor n in range(num_questions):\r\n\tquest.append((fe[n], answer[n]))<\/pre>\n
    Now that we built our data into quest, the code can do his job like it always did when we were adding manually each question. That is why I entitles …. in no time. This can be adapted to True False or other tests with other alternative (also more than 2 lists).<\/p>\n
