  Hi,

  It may be best for you to look up some python instructions on the internet (google: "compare keyboard input to variable").

  Python code is implemented through the inline_script item in OpenSesame. Here you can initiate the keyboard to collect a response (http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/python/keyboard/)
  and create a variable. With "variable number stored in the loop" do you mean you're using OpenSesame's loop item with a variable that has some number in every condition, or do you mean you're using a for-loop that appends numbers to a list or something?

  In any case, you can compare the keyboard input (if succesfully collected) to anything by doing something like this:

     if response == number:
           outcome = True
     else:
           outcome = False
  

  Cheers,

  Josh
