'Shooting' tasks can be used to train and measure people's precision and speed in selecting targets on screen with a computer mouse. This 'shooting' game - inspired by Rogers et al (2024) - uses static targets (aka 'nonmoving' targets) only. The overall time of the task is time-limited with a variable number of targets (depends on performance).
This script implements a 'shooting' task similar to the one described by Wu et al (2024). This 'shooting' game uses static targets (aka 'nonmoving' targets) only. The number of presented targets is fixed.
