Running your experiment
Once you have created an experiment using empirica create.
Run the app on your local machine with one command:
empirica
This can take a few minutes.
Treatments and factors can be entered via the admin panel.
Empirica also enables "experiment as code" by which experimental treatments and factors can edited directly in YAML at
.empirica/treatments.yaml.To run a game, create a new
batch with the games of treatments you want to use and click start on the batch.The player that you open with http://localhost:3000 is cached on your browser. Whenever you start a game with this player, your local app will keep that information. To play again there are multiple things you can do:
- Click on the Reset current session button in the bottom right menu to reset this player, and create a new game for this player to join.
- Click on the New Player button in the bottom right menu to open a new tab with a different player (you will see tab with an id).
The app will automatically ("hot") reload when save changes to the code.
