With the completion of this chapter, we now have a fully graphical version of a game which was previously playable only over the command line. We have identified the key decisions to make before porting the interface of a command-line application over to a graphical one.
The benefits of making programs follow a reusable, class-based data structure have been made clear during the upgrading of our interface, allowing for a lot of code reuse between the previous chapter and this one.

More detailed controls of the pack geometry manager have been shown, including the use of pack_propagate(0) to keep a Frame at its defined size and pack_forget to replace widgets with others.
