Just voyeuristically watching this thread - what a fun idea! And amazing execution.

I had to test it... I only cached in WA once visiting relatives 6 years ago... but I managed to get all but one! (I didn't think I had a "regular" size non-trad in WA and was right.)

Thanks to the CO-to-be and the volunteers... as ever.

Yes, it should be easy to retag for any Venn type diagram with any tests... I may generalize it more in the future, and/or improve the formatting... but I'll make sure the existing tags still work if/when I do that.

Perfect. In that case, mission complete.
Thank you very much. Best of luck to you and the challenge you are making with this style checker.
If I'm reading it right, it looks someone can tweak the parameters and make a copycat challenge with 3 different categories for each Venn circle in their own challenge. Is that right?

It's up to you, but otherwise, I think it's done. I mean, it doesn't matter much, if all you have is the locationless, you'll get the Washington section, but not all the others where you need it in Washington.

That makes total sense why Washington lit up. If you are ok leaving locationless in, that works for me. Honestly either way works great. Thank you so much for your expert help on this groundbreaking checker.

THC73* - has logged the locationless GC8NEAT- so that counts as Washington. I exclude locationless caches, if you would like. There was also a typo, and the "X" category was actually trying to display the ABC category, so that is now fixed.

I've had some feedback from Magnus, and it may be that I can use stuff to improve the formatting in the future... but I think for now it's reasonable. If I do update, I'll make sure to check this tag and make sure it's not completely horrible.

From great color scheme to great color scheme. The checker looks just about ready.the oddities of edge cases of caches with long names shouldn't be an issue in my book.
I did find my first case of a false negative (partially). THC73* Hasn't found any in Washington so it's a miss on the overall checker, but they have attended events in some 30+ non-Washington states so the n/a outside the diagram should have a cache there. I cant seem to replicate that with other people's partial successes. Could be a one off, maybe... - ignorable?

Okay, I've associated it with your GC code, because I feel like we're getting very close, if not there yet:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB64E1/102274

I updated the color scheme, although, I'm not completely convinced it's better. You can now replace the venn diagram image via the tag, and also all the sizes and positioning of the results. I assume you've been using the venn diagram maker... out there somewhere, as I have been, so if you want to make one, you can replace it in this tag (... if you have tag editing ability... if not, just let me know).

"Timothy the Pirate" output... is still a little janky, because of that cache name being so long... so that's something I can pursue if you think it's important. If/when I make my own, I'll probably try to fix that, and ensure yours still looks reasonable.

And... thanks much for the appreciation... because I know you mean it. I wish everybody that used my work were as such! :) ... but sadly they are not.

That is amazing.
This functions perfectly in terms of showing which categories people have found. The N/A works well for those who haven't found anything in those categories. I didn't see any false positives or false negatives. The GC code isn't added to the checker page yet so there's no link, but we're still in the design phase - it's not done.

Aspect ratio was the same whatever screen size or device I used. The text lines up fairly well just using a table. On rare occasions when a cache with many words comes up, it bumps other text down and out of the segment they represent but I don't think that's a big deal and is easily ignorable. An example of this is Timothy the Pirate. One of his finds is 10-10-10. . . You woke me up for this!? and it takes up 9 rows. That's an extreme example and you can still read the Venn diagram and understand what's going on.

Not that it matters, but that's a great color palette. The blue of the hyperlink against it is a little hard to see but I don't think that's an issue. Those using project-gc are familiar with the internet and know that blue color is hyperlink clickable text, which works great by the way.

Incredible work. and knowing your design style, this can probably be re-tagged to work for a wide variety of similar challenges - you mentioned you wanted to do one/some of your own.
Thank you for all you do.

Cheers,
CheekyBrit.

ALRIGHT!

I have made progress:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges//102257

It's not done - which is why it's under my debug script still. I think the cache outputs have to be larger, as they're hard to read. And I haven't done the "log" portion for the new function, although that should be pretty easy. Let me know any more feedback you have.

If the people who made the HTML spec saw what I was doing here, they're probably puke their guts out :)

If it were just a regular website that we were authoring, this would be perfect. However unfortunately, in the HTML output, we can't add style tags. I've emailed to clarify exactly what's allowed and what isn't... but I think if we just get not style/css... we're going to have to figure out how to do it "the really ugly and old fashioned way" with like an invisible table that has the image spanning it... or some other such non-sense.

I haven't learned to script, but after spending some time on https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_image_text I think I made some progress on how to have the 'printed' info in the right spot over the Venn diagram image. I hope this helps, though my hunch says it won't be what you need.

My apologies, I had intention to work on it, and work (the kind I get paid for:)), has been really busy. I'll try to take a look soon.

I will putt it back for some weeks

Last time I spoke with Bmuzzin, he was still trying something else. May we keep this in the checker request forum a little longer?

This thread has not received any further feedback and will therefor be moved to ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible). Should the requester have any queries he can raise his question on this thread in the archived section

I'll help in whatever way I can. I really need to learn to script.

Yes, if we could use any of those tags, then that would make this much easier (along with a great many other things). But, I think we can't because I'm pretty sure PGC strips those HTML tags in the output for security (FWIW, you also can't use
