Now the code looks like this:īegin Routine: coordList = # an empty list to add coordinates to only if in the 'right spot' I added two new variables and a new polygon to make things easier for me. log show this line:īut i don’t know the function to code it. If brushTools ends inside this whole area, CorrectBrushEnd = 1ĥ- Is there a way to make a “reset button”, like a button where if the participant clicks on it, brush position and variables are reset? I know there is a way to reset the brush, since the. The marks here are where i want the “right spot” to be, AKA if the participant starts and ends the brush tool inside this area, it will be considered a correct answer:Ĥ- Is there a function to make this work? Something that tells the program something like this? if brushTool starts inside this whole area, CorrectBrushStart = 1

log one?Ģ- Is there a way to make the program show me my mouse coords is in real time as i’m testing it? Something like this:ģ- How do i code so that the program knows the full “right spot”? eg.:

I don’t know if this is the best approach to this issue, but i need your help with a couple things:ġ- How do i teach the program to save the brush position data on a. So i thought about it and now my idea is to make the program understand where the “right spot” is, so when the participant’s painting starts and ends at the “right spot”, a “correctAnswer” variable changes value (eg. So at first i figured i could try to make the program save data for all positions from the brush component, but it would generate A LOT of data. log file, like this: 92.1524 DATA Mouse: Left button down, pos=(810,647)ĩ2.1524 EXP Resetting brush parameter: brushPos.ĩ4.1191 DATA Mouse: Left button up, pos=(876,650) csv file that’s created after a trial, but it shows up on the. I know the brush tool does not automatically saves it’s data on the. Hi guys! I’m trying to build a task that requires the participant to use the brush tool to paint the “right spot” on an image. e.g.Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: Y And we could just use several of these statements to check if the mouse is in each polygon individually.Īlternatively, we could use a ‘for’ loop…įor loops allow us to repeat the same set of code over a predifined n or over a set of objects. We have already seen how we can use ‘conditional if’ statements in python. The ‘brush’ component (our pencil to join the dots)Ī code component to turn the polygons red when the mouse is clicked in their location Typed responses Dot to Dot Demo (time pending) ¶ Let’s touch on a relatively new response type…

OK so we have covered the basics of making a task and how to do exciting dynamic things with the mouse. stimuli that disappear once you click them?) or when you hover over them What next? ¶ You can even make your button change when it has been pressed (e.g. Test whether the mouse button(s) are being pressed Test whether the mouse is contained in that stimulus Using the fact that we can easily work out where a mouse is we can create dynamic “buttons” with a bit of code as well: To check if the mouse is in the area of x and if one of the buttons is pressed in. You can continuously check if a mouse is pressed in an object using the mouse.isPressedIn(x) method. The “stimulus” can also be invisible (so you’re effectively just using it to define an “area” rather than a stimulus). contains() method doesn’t care if the position is changing! The stimulus that you test can be moving and that’s fine too. Use $thisColor to set the color of your marker contains ( mouse ): thisColor = 'red' else : thisColor = 'blue'
