Loops in beginner tutorial don't run

  Hi Greg,

  there must at least be one line in a loop table, even if no values are defined. So, if you click in the first cell of the loop table, one row should be added and then the loops will run.

  Does that make sense?

  Hi Eduard,

  Thanks for your suggestion but I don't think I understand it. The practice loop currently looks like this:

  

  The cell with "empty_column" is something that OpenSesame put into the table. I clicked in that cell but nothing happened. I also clicked on the cell beneath it and it turned the background light gray (difficult to see in the above screen shot). However, nothing changed when I ran the experiment - I still get only the text forms and the loops don't execute.

  Am I following your instructions correctly?

  Thanks.

  Aha! Got it! I looked at the tutorial screen cast and it showed the cell beneath the "empty_column" cell with a "1" in it. When I made that change the experiment worked.

  Is there a place to report errors or request changes in the tutorials?

  Thanks.

  Well, the wish list could be such a place. But if you feel adventurous, you can also implement the change yourself. The documentation is on Github and suggestions/editions are always welcome.
