Hi all,

I am new to psychopy and I am wanting to make my own dot probe task. Would anyone be able to give me some pointers and help me out?

Thank you.

Hello Megan

try [Pavlovia](https://pavlovia.org/explore?sort=DEFAULT&search=dot). You find various experiments which you might be able to adapt to your needs.

Best wishes Jens

Can you see what people’s tests look like in the builder view so I know if I’m on the right lines?

If you view someone else’s code then you can download their psyexp file (though if you want to adapt their code it is more polite to fork their experiment and then sync that to your computer).
