• Repeatable: The number of times these objects need to be interacted with to complete the part of the trial. All objects can be interacted with numerous times.
  
• No-Order: Each object needs to be interacted with at least once before moving onto the next part of the trial. All LEDs will be turned on at the start but will turn off to indicate which objects have been interacted with.
  
• Ordered: Each object needs to be interacted with at least once before moving onto the next part of the trial. LEDs will turn on one at a time, in the order that they were assigned. You must interact with each object before moving onto the next.

[h2]Mission/Trial Creator![/h2]
[h3]Create, Edit & Delete Missions/Trials[/h3] 
This was a long time in the making and I have also tried to write a comprehensive guide/documentation and a video on how it all works which I will provide links to at the bottom. I have put this off due to finding a lot of bugs along the way, but I believe it is now bug free and working as intended. If you are experiencing issues or encounter anything abnormal, please let me know and I will investigate. It is a very complex system and while I have done my best to make sure everything is in 100% perfect working order; I cannot guarantee that it is.
 
[h3]Create Trial:[/h3]
DMD/LCD Text (Mission Title & Descriptions), DMD/LCD Animations, Mission Completion Sounds, Mission Mechanics, Number of times to interact with mechanics to complete a mission, Number of mission parts (1 or 2), Mission Rewards (Points & Bonuses), Resetting the mission on losing a ball toggle.

[h3]Edit Trial:[/h3]
Select from a list of any of the trials which you have previously created. This will present you with a screen that is identical to the new trial screen, except now you are making modifications to a previously existing trial instead of starting from scratch.
 
[h3]Delete Trial:[/h3]
The initial screen will be identical to the edit trial screen; selecting from a list of any of the trials which you have previously created. From here, you can delete the trial from the table itself. This will allow you to free up the mechanics associated with that trial and re-assign them to new or pre-existing trials.
 
As expected, trials can also be saved/loaded with the tables that you create.

Cheers.
