[Tutor] How do I make a text box pop up in a GUI before the mainpart of the program loads?

[Nathan Pinno]

Actually, I'm going to be using Pygame. I need to know, because I want to pop up a polite explanation of how to play the game and a reminder.

  Do you mean like a splash screen?

  If you are using Tkinter you can use a TopLevel widget to create and display
  the splash screen before you pack the main application window.

  If its only a simple message box type display then use the standard dialogs
  that Tkinter provides. Those work regardless of whether the Tkinter 
  environment
  is initialised.
