Re: Static attribute vs attribute checker

Hello Sir or Madam,

I'm working on building a few challenges built around combinations of attributes on the same cache. For example, across all your finds have you found attributes A and B together, B and C together, as well as A and B together. This could be done with a single find that has attribute A, B, and C. Since a geocache can have up to 15 attributes, that means a single cache could score you up to 105 combinations (15 choose 2).
To simplify things, I'm just focusing on the positive attributes and I'm skipping "partnership", "part of a geo-tour" and "lost and found" since they are pretty much no longer used. That leaves us with this list of 63 attributes:

1. Abandoned mine nearby
2. Access/parking fee
3. Available 24/7
4. Available in winter
5. Bikes allowed
6. Boat required
7. Campfires allowed
8. Camping nearby
9. Cliffs/falling rocks nearby
10. Climbing gear required
11. Cross-country skis required
12. Dangerous animals
13. Dangerous area
14. Difficult climbing
15. Dogs allowed
16. Drinking water nearby
17. Field puzzle
18. Flashlight required
19. Food nearby
20. Fuel nearby
21. Hike between 1km-10km
22. Hike longer than 10km
23. Hike shorter than 1 km
24. Horses allowed
25. Hunting area
26. In an abandoned structure
27. In front yard (with permission)
28. Kid-friendly
29. May require snowshoes
30. May require swimming
31. May require wading
32. Motorcycles allowed
33. Needs maintenance
34. Night cache
35. Off-road vehicles allowed
36. Park-and-grab
37. Parking nearby
38. Picnic tables available
39. Poisonous plants
40. Public transit available
41. Quads allowed
42. Recommended at night
43. Recommended for tourists
44. Restrooms available
45. Scenic view
46. Scuba gear required
47. Seasonal access only
48. Significant hike
49. Snowmobiles allowed
50. Special tool required
51. Stealth required
52. Stroller-accessible
53. Takes less than 1 hour
54. Teamwork required
55. Telephone nearby
56. Thorns
57. Ticks
58. Tree-climbing required
59. Trucks/RVs accessible
60. UV light required
61. Watch for livestock
62. Wheelchair-accessible
63. Wireless beacon required

That should give 1953 possible combinations of attributes (63 choose 2). It will make a grid something like the one in this picture.
That is not accurate data, I just did the RANDBETWEEN function with conditional formatting to give a quick prototype.

The intent of this checker is to run as a reference 'static' checker, similar to https://project-gc.com/Challenges//71154
If you need a GC code, one of the challenges I'm building will be GCA9A93 and the challenge is to have found 500 combinations of attributes.

I don't know if this is realistically feasible with the LUA coding. I definitely don't want to make someone have to type custom code by hand for each of 1953 cells in a chart. If that is the case, please don't inflict this upon yourself. I am happy to type up whatever you need if I'm shown the format you want. Your team already does so much for the geocaching community, I don't want to be a burden. If this is too much, please tell me, "no".

Either way, thank you for your time and help.

That already exists (sort of):

https://project-gc.com/Challenges//76415

Is that close enough to what you want?

Wow! YES!!!!
That is amazing. Thank you for posting the link. Is there a list of these static checkers somewhere? Because they are the bomb dot com.

Unfortunately, no.

There's a list of them in the wiki but not all makers add theirs to the list: https://project-gc.com/w/Tools_in_the_checker_system

Oh, hah. Of course makers would not add to the list if they didn't know that a list existed. :)

I will look through and add some of my tools to the list.
