I add a code component to the beginning of the experiment. In the code component I create the conditions file. I first create four lists (two for the words, two for the positions), shuffle them, and write them into a csv (i.e., this will be my conditions file).

In your code component, you need to provide a JavaScript equivalent to your current Python code (as Python doesn’t run in a web browser). In your code component, select “Auto → JS” and Builder will do its best to automatically translate your Python to JavaScript. This probably won’t work perfectly. So if necessary, change the button to “Both” so that you can manually edit the JavaScript, to fix any problems with it emulating what the Python code does.

See here for some tips on PsychoJS equivalents to PsychoPy code:

PsychoPy Python to Javascript crib sheet

Many people come to this forum because their experiment works fine locally but doesn’t work online. The reason is that the Python code needs to be translated to Javascript and the auto translate that was added to PsychoPy in January 2020 primarily translates the grammar rather than the individual functions. If you want to run PsychoPy online I highly recommend that you: Write your experiment in Builder using version 2023.1.3 (or later). Study my crib sheet to familiarise yourself with the…
