App spoils the solution #29

Closed Umsturz closed 4 years ago

Umsturz commented 4 years ago

Whenever I miss the correct position or letter sound the text on the bottom: "Left-click..." or "Right-click..." turns blue right at the end of the 3 seconds, see attached picture. I have been using the app for a week now and I think that this bug only appeared yesterday. This behavior is very distracting, even though I would like an immediate feedback I don't want to spoil the missed positions. A workaround is to hide the text, but then there is no immediate feedback anymore.

This is not a bug: the app is supposed to behave that way:

when you miss a match the text turns blue briefly at the end of the trial
when you wrongly flag a match the text turns blue until the end of the trial

Oh. This is a surprise. Thank you for clearing that up.

@xantares Should this behavior also occur when the user is in Manual Mode? I have SHOW_FEEDBACK = True in brainworkshop.pyw, but it seems to have no effect.

Never mind! The color change was so subtle that I only noticed it when I stopped trying to play the game at the same time. Is there a way to make the effect more prominent?

xantares commented 4 years ago

@lgtout I guess you can try to fiddle with the colors (~rgb format): https://github.com/samcv/brainworkshop/blob/master/brainworkshop.pyw#L561
