Prerequisites: 

Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, Tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with Tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. Now, it’s up to the imagination or necessity of the developer, what he/she wants to develop using this toolkit. 
To create a Tkinter : 

  • Importing the module – Tkinter
  • Create the main window (container)
  • Add any number of widgets to the main window.
  • Apply the event Trigger on the widgets

The GUI would look like below:


Let’s create a GUI version of a simple FLAMES game.FLAMES is a popular game named after the acronym: Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Sibling. This game does not accurately predict whether an individual is right for you, but it can be fun to play this with your friends.
 

Below is the implementation :
 

Python3
# import all functions from the tkinter
from tkinter import *

# function for removing common characters 
# with their respective occurrences 
def remove_match_char(list1, list2): 

    for i in range(len(list1)) : 
        for j in range(len(list2)) : 

            # if common character is found 
            # then remove that character 
            # and return list of concatenated 
            # list with True Flag 
            if list1[i] == list2[j] : 
                c = list1[i] 

                # remove character from the list 
                list1.remove(c) 
                list2.remove(c) 

                # concatenation of two list elements with * 
                # * is act as border mark here 
                list3 = list1 + ["*"] + list2 

                # return the concatenated list with True flag 
                return [list3, True] 

    # no common characters is found 
    # return the concatenated list with False flag 
    list3 = list1 + ["*"] + list2 
    return [list3, False] 


# function for telling the relationship status
def tell_status() : 
    
    # take a 1st player name from Player1_field entry box  
    p1 = Player1_field.get()

    # converted all letters into lower case 
    p1 = p1.lower() 

    # replace any space with empty string 
    p1.replace(" ", "") 

    # make a list of letters or characters 
    p1_list = list(p1) 

    # take a 2nd player name from Player2_field entry box
    p2 = Player2_field.get() 
    p2 = p2.lower() 
    p2.replace(" ", "") 
    p2_list = list(p2) 

    # taking a flag as True initially 
    proceed = True
    
    # keep calling remove_match_char function 
    # until common characters is found or 
    # keep looping until proceed flag is True 
    while proceed : 

        # function calling and store return value 
        ret_list = remove_match_char(p1_list, p2_list) 

        # take out concatenated list from return list 
        con_list = ret_list[0] 

        # take out flag value from return list 
        proceed = ret_list[1] 

        # find the index of "*" / border mark 
        star_index = con_list.index("*") 

        # list slicing perform 
        
        # all characters before * store in p1_list 
        p1_list = con_list[ : star_index] 

        # all characters after * store in p2_list 
        p2_list = con_list[star_index + 1 : ] 


    # count total remaining characters 
    count = len(p1_list) + len(p2_list) 

    # list of FLAMES acronym 
    result = ["Friends", "Love", "Affection", "Marriage", "Enemy", "Siblings"] 

    # keep looping until only one item 
    # is not remaining in the result list 
    while len(result) > 1 : 

        # store that index value from 
        # where we have to perform slicing. 
        split_index = (count % len(result) - 1) 

        # this steps is done for performing 
        # anticlock-wise circular fashion counting. 
        if split_index >= 0 : 

            # list slicing 
            right = result[split_index + 1 : ] 
            left = result[ : split_index] 

            # list concatenation 
            result = right + left 

        else : 
            result = result[ : len(result) - 1] 

    # insert method inserting the  
        # value in the text entry box. 
    Status_field.insert(10, result[0])


# Function for clearing the  
# contents of all text entry boxes

    Player1_field.delete(0, END)
