[Resolved] A like to have a checker for a country alphabet challenge

Hi,

I'm working on a challenge to find 80% of the alphabet in found countries. There are 26 countries, and there is no country with an X. This means that 25 letters of the alphabet is equal to 100%.

This 100% is really difficult, so I aim this challenge at 80%. This means that you need to have found geocaches in 20 countries all starting this a different letter of the alphabet. I've used the same country table Groundspeak is using to define countries.

Is it possible to create a checker for this type of challenge?

Best regards,

Edwyn

Do you want to make it the same as this on is https://coord.info/GC6ZZ2Q

Or just 20 letters

I have a checker for any 20 letters, out of the 25. If you give me the GC Code of your challenge I can provide you the checker.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. This is indeed something I'm looking for. But with countries instead of counties. I used this link: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/ its the same source Groundspeak is using.

And if it is not to much effort, indeed with traditionals only.

This is the GC code I created: https://coord.info/GC7X9DH

Best regards,

Edwyn

Adding only Traditionals is no problem. Here's a checker for you:

Let us know if it's suitable.

Pattux if you change the log to , "log": { "format": "{country} - {visitdate} {gccode} - {cache_name}", "func": [ ["sort"] ] }
The output is in alphabetical order. This looks nicer

True, also makes it easier to check for missing letters.
Changed it, thanks for suggesting.

Hi,

This looks great! Thanks a lot. And this one is checking with traditional only?
