My apologies, indeed - it is quite hard, but partly this is what the researchers need. It splits the populations in two for touchscreen and mouse with 3 different speeds of bugs (also different populations) so we can remove effects like this, but they wanted to keep the same speeds in place even if it's much harder not using touchscreen :) Judging by player behaviour, some people seem to find this this challenge addictive, but the egglab game is much less frustrating! https://nightjar.exeter.ac.uk/egglab/ cheers, dave http://fo.am/kernow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
