[Cancelled] Extend checker to accept colours in other languages
January 19, 2024 06:30PM
Hello from Germany,

there is a nice challenge in Ridgecrest CA GC33T5D.

Needed are 50 cache names with colours in them.
Well, per today the checker I found https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC2R6HT/16488 does only accept standard colours in english.
I talked to the owner recently in person and she will accept also colours in other languages.
Will it be possible to have the checker about extended to accept the terms:
weiß
schwarz
rot
grün
gelb
blau
lila

Greetings

This legacy challenge is not as straight forwards as you suggest.

The challenge criteria are multitests
1). 10 of the 50 can be embedded in a larger word (ie. Blue; "Singing Bluebird").
2). must include 5 different types of caches
3). shades of a color do count (rose, rust, sand, lime, etc.) do count

This makes it that a standard colour checker can not be used. The checker you suggest will not be sufficient

This is the reason why there is no checker for this cache and I don't expect that a checker will be made as this type of challenge is no longer allowed

Thanks vogelbird (nice nick, somehow related to my question)

I understand and fully accept the reply. So to log that cache I will have to got through my finds manually.

Do I need to do something about this entry hear (cancel, close, ...)?
