App Passage Flow

The app in it's current state runs through a few stages. Here's a flowchart showing how they link, with comments on what happens between transitions:

flowchart TD

    consent["Consent Form"]
    landing["Landing"]
    expR["Experiment\n Dialogue Tree"]
    mid["MidLanding"]
    survey["Survey"]
    finale["Finale (Submit)"]

    subgraph dialogueTree[" "]
        expR --> mid
    end;

    subgraph holder["Dialogue Tree"]
        direction RL;
        anchor["cycle $current_experiment"]

        style anchor fill:#FFFFFF00, stroke:#FFFFFF00;

        dialogueTree --> anchor --> dialogueTree;
    end;

    consent --"All boxes checked and name entered."--> landing --"Set $current_experiment to URL param '?se=' or the default"--> holder
    holder --"Cycled through all experiments in proj_config.knownExperiments"--> survey --"Dump of consent form, survey, and navigation history submitted to server."--> finale

URL parameters can alter some processes:

• se=r will set the first condition to be 'r' (and cycle around from there through the knownExperiments).
• sk=y will set proj_config.skipConsentForm to true, skipping the consent form.
• sq=y will skip the questionnaire.
• ke=r-c-r will set the proj_config.knownExperiments variable to ["r" , "c", "r"].
