  1. I would also like to support WIG. I'm a SW developer and would love to help maintain the codebase for the builders/players, assuming I'm not alone reverse-engineering stuff. I don't get why WIGs are not supported by GS. Sure, only a fraction of users have the skill/time/will to develop a good cartridge, but that just means they will always be special, which is IMO good. Every WIG is a gem (other than all the reverse caches, sorry ). I myself have developed a relatively complex cartridge with Urwigo, but I cannot even properly test it, as WhereYouGo doesn't work on my phone since the latest Android update (at least it doesn't show me my own location on a map). It's a little frustrating knowing all those hours developing would be appreciated by a small subset of cachers willing to put effort into setting up their players. Not sure what I can do other that offer my support, I love the idea about GC partnering with WIG foundation. As I'm late to the party, I don't know the history and I'm just shocked links to WIG foundation are forbidden in listings. To be frank, this hostile behavior prevents me from paying for premium membership and reminds me of Microsoft in the 90s. So I'll ask, will someone (Ranger Fox) try to contact GS and make a deal with them? If not, is there any plan B? Maybe develop a much more modern WIG for smartphones from scratch? The idea has a lot of potential, people pay a lot of money for escape-room-like games you can play at home and I've played WIGs outside which were more fun and for free. Either way, thanks for all the work you people involved have done over the years. The fact that community created all these tools despite the hard conditions is a little miracle.
  2. I am new to building WIGos and I wonder where I can find information on the objects/functions (or what is it called) on the Wherigo Object? In your example you use: Wherigo.Distance Wherigo.TranslatePoint And I have seen things in other examples like Wherigo.MessageBox But outside of what I've seen, I wouldn't know what else I can use and how. Thanks for the reply!
  3. I want to create a Wherigo cache. Before I start, I'd like to know the answer to a simple question: Is it possible to publish a Wherigo cartridge on geocaching.com without an actual physical cache on the final coordinates? Personally, I see no reason for the physical cache. Just like an Earth cache can be logged answering some questions, the game when finished gives you a verification code, which can be used as a proof. I just wonder if that would be approved by the reviewers on geocaching.com.
