Re: GC8YGBT 2 icons per calendar day, including labcaches

[Resolved] GC8YGBT 2 icons per calendar day, including labcaches
August 17, 2020 06:12PM
I would like a challenge like this:
Find 2 different icons in 222 different calendar dates. The same idea like this:
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6K9RG_333x3-types-calendar-challenge

Can Lab caches also be included? According to the message from March 12. 2020 it might be possible?
https://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,35985,42671#msg-42671 ,
"I've just updated the Multiple Test Checker (enhanced) script to allow includeLabCaches parameter for the functions which make sense to allow it (calendar, date, number, streak and in_a_year). Default is off, so that it doesn't change existing checkers."

I believe that would violate rule 9 of the challenge cache guidelines:

Time-Limited: Not Acceptable: Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative. Example, find 5 caches for every date of the Finds for Each Day of the Year grid.

even if it is calendar, meaning the days could come from different years?
For instance, on January 15th 2018 a Traditional and on January 15th 2020 a Lab cache. If that is also not possible I would rethink the challenge

This is also not allowed.

In that case only one cache a day, including lab caches. Would be great, if the respecctive icon is visible in the result, like in the geocache above or this one.

@pieterix - Can leap day to be skipped as per the guidelines

Leap day finds are optional by default in that script, but it will show a find if you have one on leap day.

This is not good enough for most reviewers that why pinkunicorn's script reads
"366 dates of 366 completed. This challenge allows leap day to be skipped."

Leap day should now be missing in the display.
