I have what is probably a relatively straightforward couple of snags for more experienced Inquisit users. I have 80 images, 40 of category A and 40 of category B. On a given trial I need to have two images presented on the screen, one beside the other, along with some text (below or above the images, doesn't really matter). However, I need the images to come from the aforementioned different lists/categories such that one is always from category A and the other from category B. I'd like the images to be randomly selected without replacement across the entire experiment (that is, Ps never see the same image twice). Further, I'd prefer the spatial arrangement of the images on the page be counterbalanced or at least randomized, such that cat A images aren't always on the left and cat B always on the right, for example.
The text will remain the same in one block, but change in another block. And the block orders should be randomized (vignette 1 and vignette 2).
Lastly, if possible, I'd prefer participants make their selection (which is one of the two photos), by clicking on the photo, and I'd prefer to be able to assign that as correct or incorrect within inquisit but not displayed to participants. The code below is a mess, I know, but it should provide a start. I'm very appreciative of any insight provided. Best, Shane

************ALL INSTRUCTIONS********************
**********************************************************
<page introinstr1>Welcome and thanks for your participation!^^Today you will be viewing a brief description of an act committed by one of two people pictured on the screen^^
You will use the mouse to respond to select which of the two you think was more likely the one who committed the act described.
^^There will be four sets of 20 photos each.^^Feel free to rest after each block if you like. The entire study should last no more than 20-25 minutes.^^Press the SPACEBAR to continue for more instructions.
</page>
<page introinstr2>As just described, you will be shown photos of two men at the same time on the screen, with a description of a behavior performed by one of the two, but NOT by both.
^^Only one of the men depicted behaved in the manner described.^^Your task is to use the mouse to click on the image of the man you think most likely performed the behaviors(s) described.
^^When you are ready press the spacebar to begin.
