GCA Puzzle Caches

Post by The Morris » 06 July 15 8:27 pm

Be patient with me programming savvy people

One of the top 5 things to look for in a puzzle cache on the other site is things written in the source code. So you look under usersupplied content for anything that might be/become a set of coordinates. Is there a similar phrase I should look for in a GCA puzzle?


TIA Robyn

<div class='cache_description'>
The content after that is the cache description.

You can always select the cache description and rightclick (when using Firefox, but probably other browsers too) and select "view selection source". That way you don't have to look for the start of the relevant code.

When using an add-on like Firebug (firefox again), you can "inspect with firebug". When going through the code in the lower half of the split screen you will see what you're looking at in the upper half.
