Re: GCAFTXZ Difficulty / Size X 50 challenge

[Resolved] GCAFTXZ Difficulty / Size X 50 challenge
November 13, 2023 07:19PM
Hello sir or madam.
May I please have your help making a challenge checker?
The challenge for GCAFTXZ is to find at lest 50 combinations of difficulty and size. Worded another way, fill at least 50 squares on the grid that has size on one side and difficulty on the other side. With 7 sizes (micro, small, regular, large, other, not chosen, virtual) and 9 difficulty ratings, that give a max score of 63. Qualifying finds can be hidden any time, be found any time, any location, be any terrain, and type except lab caches or benchmarks.
I qualify and so too do >10 locals; this is approved by my local reviewer, Ice&Wind.

If it helps, it is very similar to the challenge checker request for GCAFTY2.

The output hopefully will look something like this with difficulty on the left and size on the top:

sumbloke, this is more than suitable, this is excellent.
As far as functionality it ticks all the boxes. It performs for both positive and negative tests with the correct goal of 50. The link between cache page and checker page link to each other, the GC code is correct, and the green and red numbers reflect the correct number of successful and failed tests.

Better still, the output is in a visually clear grid with not just a pass or fail, but the number of each combination that someone has; nice touch. Better still, each one is linked to an example cache that qualifies that combination. Sublime stuff.

Thank you for your time and help sum bloke.
