if been using python's tkinter for awhile to write programs when I caused an issue that I'm not sure what is my code is long even after I gutted it.

from Tkinter import *
import random
import operator

info_dict = {}
info_dict["area"] = 1
info_dict["slime_spot"] = random.randint(1,36)
info_dict["slime spotter"] = list()
for x in range(1,37):
    info_dict["slime spotter"].append(x)
info_dict["areas"] = list()
info_dict["player"] = 50
info_dict["mana"] = 10
info_dict["resting"] = 0

class App:

    def __init__(self, master):

        frame.pack()

        def slime_move_ready():
            if info_dict["resting"] > 0:
                health.after(100, slime_move)
            info_dict["counter"] = info_dict["counter"]+1

                info_dict["counter"] = 0
                health.after(100, slime_move)
            else:
                health.after(100, slime_move_ready)

        health = Label(master, text="")
        health.after(0, slime_move)

        self.Rest = Button(frame, text="rest",command=self.rest)
        self.Rest.pack(side=LEFT)

    def rest(self):
        info_dict["resting"] = 5

root = Tk()

d = App(root)

root.wait_window()

when you click the rest button it is supposed to make 5 really fast prints then return to normal but instead it begins to speed up every time you click rest

Why you have nested definition inside __init__?

If I can read the 166 lines of code correctly, what happens when "resting" == 1

info_dict["resting"] = info_dict["resting"] - 1
## it now equals zero, so the following would never execute
        def slime_move_ready():
            ## also add a print statement to see if this is executing
            print 'info_dict["resting"]', info_dict["resting"]
            if info_dict["resting"] > 0:
                health.after(100, slime_move)

Also, use a tuple or another dictionary to replace all of the if() statements.

if info_dict["slime_spot"] == 1:
                data = "east","east"
            if info_dict["slime_spot"] == 2:
                data = "west","south"
            if info_dict["slime_spot"] == 3:
                data = "east","south"
##   etc, etc.
##   becomes
info_tuple = ( ("", ""), ("east","east"), ("west","south"), ("east","south"))
info_dict = {"slime_spot":2 }    ## test it
num = info_dict["slime_spot"]
data = info_tuple[num]   ## or info_tuple[info_dict["slime_spot"]]
print data

that's just the way I've always done it...mainly because I occasionally redefine the same definition such as

def forward():
    print "run away"

might be changed to

def forward():
    info_dict["area"] = info_dict["area"] + 1

and to Woeee that snip-it is incase you click rest before the slime is ready to move

I figured it out...apparently if you click rest the

def slime_move_ready():
            if info_dict["resting"] > 0:
                health.after(100, slime_move)
            info_dict["counter"] = info_dict["counter"]+1
            if info_dict["counter"] == 19:
                info_dict["counter"] = 0
                health.after(100, slime_move)
            else:
                health.after(100, slime_move_ready)

command began to run multiple times. By changing that to

def slime_move_ready():
                    info_dict["counter"] = info_dict["counter"]+1
                    if info_dict["resting"] > 0:
                        health.after(100, slime_move)
                    elif info_dict["counter"] == 19:
                        info_dict["counter"] = 0
                        health.after(100, slime_move)
                    else:
                        health.after(100, slime_move_ready)

the code will no longer repeat on resting
