I am creating a tkinter gui, and i need to make it a thread. But the thread doesn't work
I am creating a chinese checkers AI. I want to make the board, and check the mouse position meanwhile. I decided to use multithreading:
from tkinter import *
from pyautogui import *
from threading import *
def create_board():
#a lot of tkinter stuff
def check_mouse:
if position()[0] > 390 & position()[0] < 455:
print("mouse detected")
board = Thread(target=create_board)
board.start()
But when I run it in terminal, I get:

Tkinter (like almost all GUI frameworks I'm aware of), require that modifications to the GUI state happen on a particular thread. See this question for more discussion on why. This doesn't mean that there can't be any other threads in your application- just that you can't modify the state of the GUI from those other threads.
If you must use other threads to keep long-running tasks from hogging the thread being used for the GUI, you can have worker threads that interact with the main thread via a Queue, as described here.
I can't caveat enough that multithreading will multiply the complexity of your application by 10x (especially if you are new to concepts like Queues). However, if you are unfamiliar with Queues and their typical use in concurrent programming and still want to get started, a good place to begin is with the producer/consumer pattern. For an even more foundational look at what the "queue" concept means in comp-sci, you can look at this page which describes a queue and has you implement your own simple version of one.

I'm sorry, but i'm not good at python yet. I am, after all, in 5th grade. Can you explain to me what Queue is about?

In general, queues are a data structure (like alistordictthat hold objects), but they're made to work so that the order you place things in the queue is the order they get removed. Think of a checkout line at the store. The queue infrom queue import Queuein python is designed with other tools for concurrent programming. In particular, it can "block" when you try togetfrom one thread while other threads are working to create things to put on the queue.

Tkinter (like almost all GUI frameworks I'm aware of), require that modifications to the GUI state happen on a particular thread. See this question for more discussion on why. This doesn't mean that there can't be any other threads in your application- just that you can't modify the state of the GUI from those other threads.
If you must use other threads to keep long-running tasks from hogging the thread being used for the GUI, you can have worker threads that interact with the main thread via a Queue, as described here.
I can't caveat enough that multithreading will multiply the complexity of your application by 10x (especially if you are new to concepts like Queues). However, if you are unfamiliar with Queues and their typical use in concurrent programming and still want to get started, a good place to begin is with the producer/consumer pattern. For an even more foundational look at what the "queue" concept means in comp-sci, you can look at this page which describes a queue and has you implement your own simple version of one.

I'm sorry, but i'm not good at python yet. I am, after all, in 5th grade. Can you explain to me what Queue is about?

In general, queues are a data structure (like alistordictthat hold objects), but they're made to work so that the order you place things in the queue is the order they get removed. Think of a checkout line at the store. The queue infrom queue import Queuein python is designed with other tools for concurrent programming. In particular, it can "block" when you try togetfrom one thread while other threads are working to create things to put on the queue.

Don't use threading with Tkinter if you don't have to. If you really have to, use Tkinter's TopLevel widget for your UI element, and implement your own event loop. It's a nuisance, to be avoided if possible.

@rd_nielsen: the use of threads is completely unrelated to the use of
Toplevel. The important thing with threads is that you can only access tkinter objects from a single thread.– Bryan Oakley
