Progress Chips
This is a Category of Badge that leads to a Badge in one of three ways:
- Role-based Badge with potentially nested criteria (Adept Seeker is an example)
- Specific (Close-ended) set of accomplishments (all the Tiny Doors, for example)
- Open-ended set of accomplishments whose event counts become achievements (# of visits to Breakfast Locations, for example)
Lists of Themes
- The envisioned future list is held in the Badge Constellation (opens in new tab)
- The definitive operational (Database) list is found in the table `location_type`.
- The definitive published list for the public is found on the Clue Ride page for Themes.
Alignment between the three lists is a Checklist item.
In all cases, the data will be displayed according to this UC: BDG-21: Show Progress:
- Badge Icon with appropriate color.
- Name
- Current Count out of
- Award Level Count
- Link to the Badge's Site
Criteria for distinguishing between Open-ended and Close-ended
- Stability It takes time to visit all the locations within a Theme. If the locations come and go on a time-scale that is shorter than the time required to achieve the badge, the badges won't ever be actually earned.
- Geographic Proximity Physically reaching a particular destination itself may be aspirational. If there isn't a course that visits a given location, that location won't be able to contribute toward a badge. This could be a reason for excluding a particular location however, and not necessarily factor into a decision of which type of Theme.
- Sheer Number of Sites There are many dozens of Champion Trees. Visiting all of them would make for a challenging badge. It may be feasible to have an open-ended badge that counts total unique visits or total visits while a close-ended badge is created for a subset which is reachable by courses.
Role-based Progress Chip
- For the Role-based badges with nested criteria, the progress is rolled up to the top-level badge which is awarded. This means a top-level badge with two sub-achievements which require 3 and 4 steps respectively will carry a total of 7 steps to be accomplished.
Close-ended Progress Chip
The Clue Ride page for themes shows a set of what are probably close-ended themes — I do state that covering each attraction will earn a badge.
- Visiting all the Tiny Doors, all the Farmer's Markets, all the Craft Breweries, Art on the Belt-line series, Activity Themes for Streets Alive, Little Libraries, Champion Trees
- Physical Courses with Waypoints
Open-ended Progress Chip
- Counts of certain activities such as Breakfast Locations, Ice Cream, Monuments, Meditative spots, Arbors for Tree bathing.
