Progress:
Per the suggestion of Kevin, I transitioned the way the timed test works to use the Invoke Repeating method. This method solved all my problems with multi-threading in Unity. The test itself will now run through the trials, displaying the C at different positions for X amount of time before recording a failure. There is a period of rest, where there is no C displayed, which I handle by placing a black plane in front of the C display. Using a simple transform it appears and disappears. The test will end when the participant either completes 5 trials at each of the 14 distances, or when the participant fails 4 or more trials on a given distance (as was done in Paisan).
I’ve also started fleshing out the UI more. The main menu scene is currently under construction, and I’m working on displays for the test results once the trial is complete.
Struggles:
Now my that my multi-threading woes are over, I’m making good progress.
Plan for Next Week:
- Finish functionality: Main menu, Basic UI
- Find calculation for correct logarithmic distance
- Program calculation for LogMAR score at end of test
- Start testing
