Collecting Scores

drpep1027

I have written a game for a research project with 30 levels where each level has 1 of 5 outcomes. I was wondering if there was any way for the game to report back what the final score was from each level. I.E. data collection from the user's response.

Thanks!!!

You can create a table with a row for each level, and use the Change Table Value behavior to modify what is in the row. I usually create an actor that has an attribute that confirms the level #, and use that to set the table's row as well to both save and call the data.

Ok, I have a table running to collect that data locally. Is there anyway of having it report back to a central location, say from a user who installed of their personal ipad for part of the study?

That I'm afraid I dont know. I think there was a program for data collection someone was linking here a couple weeks ago? Anyone remember this?

@drpep1027‌ , this can be achieved using the new networking functions in pro, combined with your own backend server.

Based on my quick look, this looks exactly like what we're trying to do. Thanks So Much!!!!
