Colored wackamole

Task based colored wackamole replay walkthrough

Recording phase

Creating all necessary items.

The first step is to create a new task configuration for the colored wackamole

Generate new script

This script is the blueprint for mole positions and timing. It can be reused if needed.

Create the task

This task will be used first with the configuration created on the previous step.

Crate the task group

Usual task group, just attaching the task created on the previous step

Create a session

The special part of this session configuration is the flag for recording events. It needs to be ON

Record ephemeral events
Use only when recording, this can overload the server

Add the task group created on the previous step

Actual recording

This execution will be saved and it will be selectable by ID. So if the intent is to record different execution styles. Each execution can be each different behavior, but there is no problem if more sessions are needed for the perfect recording, the final verison ID is the one that needs to be annotaded.

Testing phase

To test the recording a new session is needed.

• Session
• Task group
• Task

The task configuration can be reused.

It needs to be OFF.

Record ephemeral events
Use only when recording, this can overload the server

But the TASK needs to have two fields set:

Enable Task Replay

And

Session id:

With the ID to be tested. To be able to have the best performance it is good to have all other perpetual sessions closed

Study phase

The steps for the study are the same of the testing phase. For the dynamic selection of the recorded sessions ids a survey needs to be created. The survey can have as many questions as needed, what matters for the right value to be saved an AFTER TASK WORK script must be created. The question can have any text as long as it is distinguishible in the script. Two values are required for this script to work, the field's index position (zero based). So as an example the first question is the one used, and the options are explicitly set as the color names. In this case the session ids must be changed as well.

var _teammates = JSON.parse(teammates);
var _isSoloTask = isSoloTask;
var _taskConfigurationAttributes = JSON.parse(taskConfigurationAttributes);
var _completedTaskAttributes = JSON.parse(completedTaskAttributes);

var colorSelected = "";
for(var i = 0 ; i <  _completedTaskAttributes.length; i ++) {
    if(_completedTaskAttributes[i].attributeName == "surveyAnswer0"){
        if ( _completedTaskAttributes[i].stringValue = 'RED'){
            colorSelected = "5781";//REDID
        }
        if ( _completedTaskAttributes[i].stringValue = 'BLUE'){
            colorSelected = "5784";//GREENID
        }
        if ( _completedTaskAttributes[i].stringValue = 'GREEN'){
            colorSelected = "5785";//BLUEID
        }
    }
}

//politicalOrientation

_completedTaskAttributesToAdd = [{
        "attributeName": "REPLAY_SESSION_ID",
        "stringValue": colorSelected
}];

sessionExecutionAttributesToAdd = JSON.stringify(_completedTaskAttributesToAdd);
