how could i make the function to do the colours red, yellow and green for 5 sec delays and make the loop keep on going?
def trafficLights():
win = GraphWin()
red = Circle(Point(100, 50), 20)
red.setFill("black")
red.draw(win)
amber = Circle(Point(100, 100), 20)
amber.setFill("black")
amber.draw(win)
green = Circle(Point(100, 150), 20)
green.setFill("black")
green.draw(win)
while True:
import time
time.sleep(5)
... and what kind of GUI toolkit is this?
hi,
as Ene Uran mentioned, not sure what GUI toolkit this is but I'll try to help anyway, I think I get the overall idea :)
Just a note: put the import statements in the beginning of the program.
It's something like this:
import time
def trafficLights():
win = GraphWin()
red = Circle(Point(100, 50), 20)
red.setFill("black")
red.draw(win)
amber = Circle(Point(100, 100), 20)
amber.setFill("black")
amber.draw(win)
green = Circle(Point(100, 150), 20)
green.setFill("black")
green.draw(win)
color = "red"
while True:
for light in [ red, amber, green ]:
light.setFill( color )
# not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep()
time.sleep(5)
if color == "red":
color = "amber"
elif color == "amber":
color = "green"
elif color == "green":
color = "red"Note I think this should work but I'm not sure because I haven't tested it :)
hope this helps :)
sorry I forgot that when you change the color you need to set the color of the previous light to black again:
while True:
for light in [ red, amber, green ]:
light.setFill( color )
# not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep()
time.sleep(5)
light.setFill( "black" )
if color == "red":
color = "yellow"
elif color == "yellow":
color = "green"
elif color == "green":
color = "red"you could simplify the if..elif to this
changeColor = { "red":"yellow", "yellow":"green", "green":"red" }
while True:
for light in [ red, amber, green ]:
light.setFill( color )
# not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep()
time.sleep(5)
light.setFill( "black" )
color = changeColor[ color ]sorry I forgot that when you change the color you need to set the color of the previous light to black again:
while True: for light in [ red, amber, green ]: light.setFill( color ) # not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep() time.sleep(5) light.setFill( "black" ) if color == "red": color = "amber" elif color == "amber": color = "green" elif color == "green": color = "red"
i get this error... when i try and run the code...
def trafficLights():
win = GraphWin()
red = Circle(Point(100, 50), 20)
red.setFill("black")
red.draw(win)
amber = Circle(Point(100, 100), 20)
amber.setFill("black")
amber.draw(win)
green = Circle(Point(100, 150), 20)
green.setFill("black")
green.draw(win)
while True:
for light in [ red, amber, green ]:
light.setFill( color )
# not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep()
time.sleep(5)
light.setFill( "black" )
if color == "red":
color = "amber"
elif color == "amber":
color = "green"
elif color == "green":
color = "red"what's the error message?
sorry i forgot to mention.. its graphics.py
Sorry, I am using Python 3.1.1 and graphics.py does not work with Python3.
what's the error message?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>

light.setFill( color )
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'color' referenced before assignment
ah yes I think I haven't defined color :)
try this:
import time
def trafficLights():
win = GraphWin()
red = Circle(Point(100, 50), 20)
red.setFill("black")
red.draw(win)
amber = Circle(Point(100, 100), 20)
amber.setFill("black")
amber.draw(win)
green = Circle(Point(100, 150), 20)
green.setFill("black")
green.draw(win)
color = "red"
changeColor = { "red":"yellow", "yellow":"green", "green":"red" }
while True:
for light in [ red, amber, green ]:
light.setFill( color )
# not sure what the update function for the screen is but you need to call it before you call time.sleep()
time.sleep(5)
light.setFill( "black" )
color = changeColor[ color ]
Sorry, I am using Python 3.1.1 and graphics.py does not work with Python3.
This little module has been updated to work with Python2 and Python3 recently, look at the new beta version at:

Can u write please all code for a traffic light, vissual also.
You are welcome to do one, or hire a programmer if you need one for real. But learning requires for you to do honest try yourself. Also the rules of Daniweb tells the same.
