Why does calling root.destroy still not continue my loop?
I am creating a board game, and i am using Tkinter for the GUI interface. I created the main loop like this:
while gameOn == True: #The loop
main_game_AI() #This is the actual game
root.mainloop() #This puts together the window.
root.destroy() #This closes the mainloop so the loop can continue.
But when i ran it, the loop only iterated one time. Is there something wrong with the order of the functions??

What im trying to do, is to exit the root.mainloop() so that i can continue the game loop. I just want it to do the game loop one time, while showing the window. Then i exit it very quickly, and repeat.

root.mainloop() won't return until the root window has been destroyed, or until you call root.quit(). Therefore, yoru call to root.destroy() won't be called until the user quits your program.

If i try putting the root.quit() before, it still does not work either.
