I am trying to code rock paper scissors in tkinter python but my reset button command gives me the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know how to access the tkinter library, so i don't know what is throwing the program off. My code is here:
import random
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
window = tk.Tk()
window.geometry("1400x860")
window.title = "Rock paper scissors"
result = Label(window, text= "result will appear here", bg="green")
player_number = ""

title = Label(window, text = "Rock paper scissors" , bg= "blue", fg = "white", font= "Times")
title.grid(column=3, row=0)

window.mainloop()
I didn't find any solutions online since they were all case specific.
If someone has a solution i would love to know how to finally complete the code.
You destroy the two buttons one_player and two_players inside oneplayer() and twoplayers(), so when choose_player_numbers() is executed again by clicking reset1 button, exception will be raised.
Change the lines:
one_player.destroy()
two_players.estroy()
inside oneplayer() and twoplayers() to:
one_player.grid_forget()
two_players.grid_forget()
Note that even fixing this issue, your code still have other issues.
