Hi,Jeremy! Thank you for this detailed answer, I REALLY appreciate it! Now I got it! So, I can say that the .stop()
command makes the .wait()
understand that the time has finished without waiting for the whol 5s, right? Now I got it! What about the feedback in the previous trial:
It should be: “If user presses the correctKey, show the ✅; if he/she presses the wrong key, ❌; in case of a timwout (5 seconds), show the timeout message ⏰
Is this the correct syntax? It seems to be working just fine, but I’m not 100% sure
getKey("answerKey") // Check for the correct key press or timeout
.test.pressed(row.correctKey) // check keys (options are K and S)
.success(
newText("Correct ✅").center().print(), // Display "Correct" message
newTimer('wait-positive-feedback', 500).start().wait() // Wait for positive feedback timer
)
.failure(
getKey("answerKey").disable().test.pressed("K", "S") // IF NEITHER K OR S was pressed, then display the timeout
.failure(
// Display "Timeout" message and wait for feedback timer
newText("Timeout ⏰").center().print(),
newTimer('wait-feedback', 500).start().wait()
)
.success( // IF EITHER K OR S was pressed, then display the INCORRECT ANSWER IF IT DOENSN'T MATCH THE row.correctKey key
newText("Incorrect ❌").center().print(), // display negative feedback
newTimer('wait-neg-feedback', 500).start().wait() // Wait for negative feedback timer
)
)
)
