_0.GameParameters

	A	B	C
1	Parameter Name	Description	teaching
2	rule_id	unique rule identifier (name of rule). Refers to the name of the rule file (w/o extension) in the rules directory. NOT shown to the subject.
3	max_boards	max number of boards is a subject allowed to attempt for this rule (not including any bonus episodes)
4	max_points	the maximum number of points a subject is allowed to earn from clearing a board (used as parameter F in the point calculation formula)
5	min_points	the min number of points a subject is allowed to earn from clearing a board (used as parameter n in the point calculation formula)
6	activate_bonus_at	this determines when (on which board) “Activate bonus” option is available to them.
7	min_objects	minimum number of objects to be displayed on the board for this rule. (Note: this parameter and the next 5 params will be ignored if initial_boards is set).
8	max_objects	maximum number of objects to be displayed on the board for this rule
9	min_shapes	minimum number of unique shapes to be displayed on the board for this rule
10	max_shapes	maximum number of unique shapes to be displayed on the board for this rule
11	shapes	the set from which shapes are to be selected, e.g. "CIRCLE;OVAL;RING"
12	min_colors	minimum number of unique colors to be displayed on the board for this rule
13	max_colors	maximum number of unique colors to be displayed on the board for this rule
14	colors	the set from which colors are to be selected, e.g. "RED;PINK;ORANGE"
15	f	[NOT USED] rate of point falloff
16	m	[NOT USED] max number of points possible for this rule
17	n	[NOT USED] y-offset (min points possible.. will be adjusted together with m)
18	b	another rate of point falloff parameter (parameter B in the reward calculation formula)
19	clear_how_many	if they successfully clear the next clear_how_many boards, they get bonus_amt extra points	2
20	bonus_extra_pts	number of bonus points awarded for clearing clear_how_many boards successfully	25 cents?
21	clearing_threshold	determines what counts as successfully clearing a board. 1.2 means the person is allowed to make 1.2 * number_of_starting_shapes moves (move = putting object in a bucket or attempting to; in other words, a drag and release). This parameter should be the next integer higher than ct*noss.	1.2
22	feedback_switches	This are switches controlling the degree of feedback that the game provides to the player. It may not be a part of the game, as it may be overridden by a control imposed per subject, in the experimental design fixed = (current default). Unmovable objects are marked with an X free = no objects are marked with X. Seeking to move an object is counted as some fraction of a move. new_display_trigger = number of wrong drop attempts allowed. When this is exceeded a new display is draw. defaul = inf free_trigger = number of wrong attempts to move an object, default=inf =	free
23	free_wrong_cost	Fraction of a move charged for wrong attempt to move (i.e. an attempt to pick an immoveable object). non-negative real. default = 1.0. This paramter only matters when feeback_switches=free	1
24	stack_memory_depth	controls how many dropped objects show in the stack or "beaker" next to each bucket. . Currently accomodates at least 16. Objects shrink as the stack gets too big.
25	stack_memory_show_order	TRUE: the drop order of each move is displayed next to the object in the stack; default: FALSE	FALSE
26	grid_memory_show_order	TRUE: instead of a check mark, the drop order of the object is displayed over the image; default FALSE	FALSE
27	initial_boards	refers to the directory (/opt/tomcat/game-data/boards/[initial_boards]) in which predefined board files and board order files are. If this parameter is present, the random distribution params (min_objects, min_shapes etc are ignored)
28	initial_boards_order	either ALPHA (for using predefined boards in the alphbetic order), or RANDOM (for using predefined boards in random order), or the name of the order file in the initial_boards directory (with a .csv extension)	6 orders
29	give_up_at	The number of the episode at which quitting is permitted. 0=the first board shown.	3rd board?
30	init	DEPRECATED. A number indicating what pre- and post- game resources are to be used.
31	x2_after	number of correct moves, after which the score is doubled
32	x4_after	number of correct moves after which the score is redoubled.
33	pregame	A text indicating which pre- and post- game resources are to be used.
34	images	a directory in game-data/shapes that contains any specific images, and a properties.csv file that matches images to the properties as defined in the trial-list.csv file(s)
