PsyToolkit experiment in JATOS

MilenR

I want to upload the Hanoi test from PsyToolkit to my JATOS so that I can share the JATOS link to my participants and all the results are stored in the server.

I can see that it's possible to do this from the Example studies page of JATOS. But in that example they use a jzip file and from the PsyToolKit I can only get the zip file of the experiment (inside there's just .pngs and a .psy file). I read the code for the Deary-Liewald task once I imported it to JATOS and writing so much code to adapt a pre-built PsyToolkit experiment is just not it.

I tried to "jatosify" the experiment following elisa's help in this discussion. But I couldn't any documentation about how to run a .psy file from JATOS.

Can you help? Is this even possible? And, is there maybe a Jspsych hanoi plugin or an existing one we could use?

Thanks for the help!

Hi!

I'm not especially familiar with PsyToolkit, but as far as I know you have to compile your PsyToolkit script (.psy file) into some JavaScript before you can run it in the browser. Then you can "jatosify" your JavaScript by following the JATOS docs.

I did a short search and only found (https://www.psytoolkit.org/doc3.4.4/introscripting.html):

Once you have written a PsyToolkit script, you need to "compile" it. ... But you can also compile for Javascript; the option allow you to run experiments within a browser.

But I couldn't find the actual way how to do this compiling. But maybe you know this already?
