Re: My trail / Cache chain
I now have 3 challenges named "My trail" running. The last one isn't even FTFd yet.

[/list]

I still love the concept and feel that I could make an endless of variants. I don't want to was h it out though. It shouldn't be too much.

What I would like, is two variations that isn't supported. I also completely understand if it's not arisoft's highest priority in life. I am super grateful what he managed this far. But I will at least present my ideas.

The first idea we have already talked about. I would like to be able to require the trail to pass through defined areas. For example a trail that includes (country) Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Or a trail that includes (county) Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö (Sweden's three largest cities).

My other idea is to measure the area of the green polygons instead of the distance between two points. I assume this is a fairly large rewrite since the presentation would have to be very different as well. It should probably show all the caches building the convex hull and also how they are connected. I do think this would be an interesting challenge though, in the end one could make a challenge to "connect 50% of the area of a country" for example.


From what I can see I am the only one who has published these challenges this far. If I recall correctly vogelbird had 1-2 in queue. I will ask him what happened to those.
