Setting up a forced choice task

  Hi,

  Btw. There is no reason to make those two variable names globals. And honestly, I am not really seeing what you are doing in your code snippet, but if it does what you want, that is good!

  Following this, what is the best way for me to randomise the position of each pair so that they randomly alternate between the left or right side of the screen during the 2afc task?

  add an inline_script to your loop (to the beginning) in which you define x to be either -200, or plus 200 (or whichever distance it should have from the center). Store it as a parameter of var. So, for example (var.x = -200). Then in the sketchpad you can use that variable to define x.

  Actually the beginner's tutorial is doing something very similar. Maybe you should have a look:

  Good luck,

  Eduard

  Hello,

  I am also doing a two-alternative forced choice task. However, instead of pictures, I'd like to use videos. That is, two videos side by side on the same screen. There is a video player on OpenSesame, but it does not allow me to modify its size or position in its script. I'm new to all this, so is this even possible? If so, how can I do this? Thanks in advance!

  Hi,

  
  

  Right, the plugins dont allow multiple videos per display. Instead you can try using the OpenCV library, it is much more flexible and powerful. https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.2/manual/stimuli/video/#opencv

  Good luck,
