psy-193

Code for Psych 193 (visual cognition lab course) experiments

Getting set up with python + pygame to run the experiments

This is sometimes a bit of a pain in the neck, especially for Mac systems.

Windows

The instructions here are quite adequate http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?showpart=0 This amounts to downloading the Python installer, and the pygame installer, running the Python installer first, then the pygame installer.

Mac OS X

This is an ordeal.
The installation notes here: http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?showpart=0

are a good start, but step 7 can be compressed to pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Verification

If all works well, you should be able to run python3 in a terminal / command window and type import pygame without it giving you an error message.

Making the scripts work on your computers

download the script from the appropriate directory set up the same subdirectory structure on your machine run with python [scriptname]
