I wanted to create a task which I did using python code, it ran perfectly but my supervisor said that task should be online.

While sourcing for ways, I saw that I could open a Pavlova account, sign in and upload the images and code. I did that but the next step which is to run the code, I don’t seem to find any button to run the code.

I need an easier explanation on how to perform my task online (the task is designed using code since I’m not too proficient with the builder)

Thanks for the anticipated responses and suggestions

> The answer is (almost) never to edit the generated code When you create an experiment in Builder, PsychoPy then generates a Python file which you can use to run the experiment locally and two JavaScript files suitable for running the experiment online (using current and older browsers). If something doesn’t work, there may be a temptation to make edits directly to the Python/JavaScript files rather than the Builder file. However, this is generally a bad idea for two reasons: The process is o…

> Builder isn’t Coder I strongly discourage the use of PsychoPy Coder for the creation of psychology experiments because Builder is easier to debug, share with others and translate into PsychoJS for use online. If you already have an experiment written in Coder, pasting the code into Builder code components is not sufficient to turn it into a Builder experiment. The logic of how to arrange an experiment is slightly different because of the way Builder works with components, routines and loops. F…
