Re: checker request GC5NBGA

[Resolved] checker request GC5NBGA- dartboard
August 22, 2016 10:45AM
The dartboard challengeis an older challenge which I have so far been unable to get a checker for and would like to request again - even if this can be a simple yes/no without a score
The challenge is to have finds in order of the numbers on the dartboard - each day can only include one type. only one number can be achieved per day.

1, 18, 4, 13, 6 , 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14, 9, 12, 5, 20 finishing with 25 then 50.

The challenge gives points for type of cache and this has been the problem with writing a checker in the past as finding the best score may been ignoring one day but if a checker can be written with a note to say - you qualify but a better score may be available on a manual check at least cachers can see if they initially qualify.

the scoring is as follows

 Traditional caches – Single score
 Multi caches - Double score
 Puzzle, letterbox, webcam, wherigo, event, earth or virtual caches – Triple score.

To complete the dartboard using all traditional caches the score will be 285 but if completed using puzzle caches with triple score on every number the total score would be 855.
Thank you

The challenge requires a special script and I doubt if this will be made in the short terms.
This is likely to be low on most script-writer's priorities since the script would have no other usefulness and is not acceptable other the current guidelines.

I understand this is not a priority but if it is possible to write a simplified version which does not look for 'best score' but just says if the cacher has found in this order
1, 18, 4, 13, 6 , 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14, 9, 12, 5, 20, 25 then 50. caches in a day of one type i would be very grateful as I have many requests for a checker on this cache.

I know this is not an easy one to write but I wondered if anybody has had a chance to look at it yet as I am getting many requests for a checker.

I've made new checker for this challenge, however it checks only the sequence, does not search for best score and does not calculate the score.
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5NBGA/23816
However it checks only for fulfill or not fulfill the challenge.
Try it, if you like it, please add the following code to the listing:

Thank you so much I will try it tonight and feedback - no problem about the score but having a basic checker will be great.

Thank you I have added it to the cache page and have run various checks which all seem to work - many thanks for your help JPavalik
