function - What's stopping these variable's from being defined in my code? -

i've been designing game, , ive come across weird problem. maybe it's simple i've missed or way formatted it. when run code these errors suggest none of variables i've been defining beingness declared/defined. on top of none of functions seem run... should define text1, button1name, etc... global variable? or improve way?

if want alter global variable in function, need utilize keyword global follows -

def wincard():##describes how event played out global playcount #inventory.append[get] playcount+=1
