Earning_text is not defined

I am still working on my IGT and managed to do some updates but i keep getting the error that the earning_text is not defined. I tried pasting it onto ChatGPT but it wasn’t helping so I was hoping anyone could help me with this please.

I’ve attached the experiment for the code

Is this error local or online?

Are you sure that your error wasn’t earnings_text is not defined?

Why do you have earnings_text_stim defined as a component AND earning_text_stim in code?

Please don’t use win.flip() in Builder experiments.

I made typos which were my mistake and the experiment works but everytime i press one of the keys, it says that i’ve made 0 pounds and it isn’t accumulating, how do i fix this?

I can’t see any code that affects earnings_text in End Routine of Select or Begin Routine of Feedback_3. Try moving the code from Begin Experiment

The text for earnings_text_stim should be set Each Repeat not every frame.

I moved the code to begin of routine and now the text is enlarged and it’s still not reading the excel spreadsheet

In Select you have four images set to card_choice.jpg each repeat. What is that supposed to do?

In code_2 you are using pandas to read the same Excel spreadsheet as the loop. Why?

In code_2 you are creating a text component called earnings_text_stim which is the same as your text component. Why?

I thought that was what you were meant to do for the card images so the cards always show on every loop. I don’t really understand how this software works as the module doesn’t teach us a lot of the software itself.

I thought that pandas would be useful to handle the data, would it not be needed?

I did also realise my mistake my apologies so I removed it from the code.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to watch some videos, such as

Alternatively, my PsychoPy Primer slides are here:

So i watched the video but the video didn’t mention any sort of coding, I am aware that the problem with my experiment comes with my coding with reading the excel spreadsheet on key response so is there any other video that would be better?

I think you should start by building the experiment without code and then work out what customisation you still need.
