What's New
27 November 2023 - New Layout and Navigation for Experiment Design
The pages for configuring experiments now support the browser back button and direct links to pages. The layout of the pages should now be more intuitive, and some minor quality-of-life improvements have been made.
The old layout is still available here but is deprecated.
22 November 2023 - Parameter Overrides and Unity Parameter Attributes
Parameters and elements can now be overridden in the editor, to make things easier for testing. You can find the setting in the PlayUR -> Editor Overrides settings panel.
There is also a new C# attribute for fields in PlayURBehaviour classes, which will automatically populate the field when the plugin is ready.
17 September 2023 - Parameter Metadata and Bugfuxes
The latest release of PlayUR addresses some minor issues that users had.
The concept of parameter metadata has been added, allowing users to attach a description and expected type.
10 July 2023 - Documentation Updated
The previously out-of-date documentation has been regenerated to match the current version of the Unity plugin. This documentation will be further improved with guides and extra information added, and undocumented classes documented.
You can see the documentation here.
17 May 2023 - Parameters Code-Generation
To ensure mispelt parameter names are caught at compile-time, you can now generate static strings fo parameter names using the PlayUR -> Regenerate Enums option. This will generate a static class called Parameters which contains constants for each parameter name, which you can then use in your code.
Example usage in Unity: PlayURPlugin.instance.GetStringParam(Parameter.MessageToUser)
11 May 2023 - Auto-Registration
To reduce the number of clicks for users to get into an experiment, you can now enable auto-registration. This will automatically create a user account for the user when they first visit the experiment page.
10 May 2023 - Parameter List Support
You can now define a parameter as a list by typing [] after the parameter name. You will then be given an editor to add/remove/reorder items in the list.
9 May 2023 - Custom CSS, Header and Footer Text, and Custom Header Image
You can now customize the look of the game page (and any ethics/login/register pages) by changing the settings on the Game page.
Header and footer text can be customized per-experiment/group as thes are defined by parameters.
