Slips Task

“Slips of action” is a psiturk+javascript (behavior) and python+psychopy (MR pilot, unused) port of Simplified Fabulous Fruit Game, Sanne de Wit, 2019.

Slips was served on heroku's free tier (amazon turk compatible) until it was discontinued. Now the slips task is served by rhea for use within the lab (UPMC intranet).

The service is managed by systemctl but it can break with changes to python or extreme memory usage on rhea. see slips_psiturk.service

• On 2023-11-02, python 3.7 did not have working python-pip. Switched to 3.10.12 and rerunning with gunicorn in tmux.
• In 2024-11, a memory intesnsive matlab batch job on rhea forced the kernel to kill applications, including the slips sever.
