Creating a Madlib game with Python and PySimpleGUI

In this tutorial, we will be creating a Madlib game using Python and PySimpleGUI. Madlibs are a fun way to create silly and entertaining stories by filling in the blanks with various words. PySimpleGUI is a simple and easy-to-use Python library for creating graphical user interfaces.

Step 1: Installing PySimpleGUI

First, you will need to install PySimpleGUI. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Step 2: Writing the Python code

Next, create a new Python file and import PySimpleGUI:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

Now, we will define the layout of our Madlib game. This will consist of a window with input fields for various parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Here is an example layout:


layout = [
[sg.Text('Enter a noun:'), sg.InputText()],
[sg.Text('Enter a verb:'), sg.InputText()],
[sg.Text('Enter an adjective:'), sg.InputText()],
[sg.Button('Generate Madlib')]
]


Next, create the window and event loop:


window = sg.Window('Madlib Maker', layout)

while True:
event, values = window.read()
if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
break
if event == 'Generate Madlib':
noun = values[0]
verb = values[1]
adjective = values[2]
madlib = f'The {adjective} {noun} {verb} over the moon.'
sg.popup(madlib)


Step 3: Running the Madlib game

Save your Python file and run it. You should see a window with input fields for a noun, verb, and adjective. Enter your chosen words and click the ‘Generate Madlib’ button to see the silly story that you have created!

That’s it! You have now created a Madlib game using Python and PySimpleGUI. Have fun playing around with different words and creating your own unique stories.
