Hi

Here the code (main loop) of a small visionegg project, which waits for
a trigger on the parallel port, after a received trigger it updates the
screen with the next stimulus, and all mouse-responses are logged in a
file with the RT (relative to the actual stimulus). Also all stimuli are
logged into a file with stimulus-name and onset-time

What do you think about the timing-quality?

Without running it, it looks great.

Andrew, if I sync buffer-swapping: does the swap_buffers() code wait for
the vsync pulse, and therefore during this time I will have an
unprecision in the RT?

The swap_buffers() code does wait for the vsync pulse before returning, but the VisionEgg.time_func() still returns a precise time. So, your measure of response time should be as accurate as possible, particularly because you are not swapping buffers while waiting for mouse presses.
