Python
Text editor
Graphic editor or download pictures from internet

Describe requirements

Create documents:

Requirements in 2-3 paragraph
Technical specification (1-3 pages)
Manual (during or after finish development)
Tasting cases

Create Application

Create two files

Image background.png with screen resolution (for example 1280x1024)
Create file with name application.py

Version #1 - One screen

from tkinter import Tkfrom tkinter import PhotoImagefrom tkinter import Label
app=Tk()app.configure()photo=PhotoImage(file='./main.png')Label(app,image=photo,bg='grey',bd=0,highlightthickness=0).pack()app.mainloop()

Version #2 - Several screens

from tkinter import Tkfrom tkinter import PhotoImagefrom tkinter import Label
def onClick(event):x, y = event.x, event.yprint('{}, {}'.format(x, y))
if x>60 and x<340 and y>110 and y<260:photo=PhotoImage(file='./screen1.png')panel.configure(image=photo)panel.image=photo
if x>800 and x<1280 and y>800 and y<1024:photo=PhotoImage(file='./main.png')panel.configure(image=photo)panel.image=photo
app=Tk()app.geometry("1280x1024")app.configure()photo=PhotoImage(file='./main.png')panel=Label(app,image=photo,bg='grey',bd=0,highlightthickness=0)panel.pack()app.bind('<Button-1>', onClick)app.mainloop()

Testing

Create testing cases
Run and check manually all functions

Deploy
