• Download the latest release and run the unitypackage

Features

Create sequencial experiments

public class ExampleExperiment : Experiment
{
	[..]

	public override void init ()
	{
		// Exexute method phase1 and wait 10 seconds befor executing next phase
		phases.Add (new ExperimentPhase (10, phase1));
		// Execute phase2 and wait 5 seconds
		phases.Add (new ExperimentPhase (5, phase2));
		// Execute phase 3 and wait 1 second
		phases.Add (new ExperimentPhase (1, phase3));
	}
	
	private void phase1(){[..]}
	private void phase2(){[..]}
	private void phase3(){
		// pause phase counter until unpaused
		pause = true;
		[..]
	}
}

Easy creation of experiments

public class ExampleExperiment : Experiment
{

	public override void initValues ()
	{
		[..]
	}

	public override void init ()
	{
		[..]
	}
}

Easy Data Reader/Writer

*exampleinput.txt*
gender=m
testdata=xxx

Debug.Log(subject.representation.data["gender"]);
Debug.Log(subject.representation.data["testdata"]);

*Console*
m
xxx

Predefined GUI class

Use predefined GUIs or easily create new GUI elements.

isBlackout = true;
status = "Status";
instruction = "Instruction";		

SubjectRepresentation

Subject representation scripts for male and female with easy object access.

public class ExampleSubjectRepresentation : SubjectRepresentation {
		public GameObject pen, paper;
}		

public class ExampleExperiment : Experiment
{
	[..]
	
	private void test(){
		// Acces on subject objects
		GameObject avatar = subject.representation.avatar;
		GameObject pen = subject.representation.pen;
		GameObject paper = subject.representation.paper;
	}
}
