This week I posted my first puzzle cache:
Speak, Friend, And Enter (http://coord.info/GC4R0TZ)
However, I soon realized I needed to offer a Check-Your-Answer online page. I visited http://www.geochecker.com/, but as far as I can determine, it only allows users to check coordinates. My puzzle required finders to identify three non-coordinate data:
The password
The numeric value of the password (simple substitution code)
The number of paces to walk
No matter what search terms I tried, I could find no website that offered a check-your-answer solution suitable for my puzzle cache.
So, I searched for a JavaScript solution. With the help of http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ I gained a basic understanding of coding to create a simple check-your-answer program.
You can see it in action here: Check-Your-Answer
You can download the basic code here: check-your-answer.js
You'll need basic HTML/CSS/JS skills. I recommend going through JavaScript Diaries, an online, free tutorial provided by HTML Goodies.
Have any of you found other good solutions for this problem?
