4 years ago I discussed with Hendrik that we might want to implement this as Profile Selection GUI inside the Whack-a-mole game, and pull the configurations of the different profiles from a separate database table. We need to cover two cases:
- The "External facilitator" case, where ideally the facilitator can just start the game and run the experiment with pre-configured participant without doing file management (this will be complicated to write in instructions to fx a therapist or similar).
- The "Student run experiment" case, where students ideally should be able to set up an experiment on their own, deciding experiment design themselves, number of participants and so forth.
I will produce some mockups for these cases.
It would be good to have configuration files (one per participant) stored in a directory ('coming participants'), which gets 'consumed' when that participant number is being run in the interface. The file would be moved to a different folder (participants finished) and it would be clear that it was used. This will be quite useful as it's easy to see in the folder structure which participants have been run and which not. In case something goes wrong in the experiment with e.g. participant 3 the experimenter can move the file back into the folder (coming participants). The file itself could contain the succession of task settings e.g. mole sizes etc that are currently set by the sliders (which we want to keep). The configuration file would include the number of targets to be whacked, time limits etc.
