Re: Thread for basic questions
There are now several dedicated tools, some of which are variants of others, like symmetric CatForce and various versions of hotdogPi's spark search script . Looks like you joined the ConwayLife Lounge Discord server today. That's where a lot of the plotting and planning and custom adjusting of sea...

Re: Thread for basic questions
How are new oscillators usually found?
Is it mainly by manual exploration and exhaustive search with apgsearch ?
Or are there dedicated tools ?
(was not sure if it's a question for here or the oscillator thread)

Re: oscillators repository / catagolue dump
thanks, this is useful, i can start from there
I don't really want all the patterns, I just would have liked about ~100 oscillators per period up to p=~20 to train some machine learning thing

Re: Lifelib
Is there an efficient way to use lifelib with full numpy arrays ?
I mean input/output a pattern as a array of 1s and 0s and ?

oscillators repository / catagolue dump
Is there a way to download a catagolue dump of all the patterns, or some repository containing rle's for ~1000s of different oscillators ?

Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
Sorry I don't really get why developing a list interpreter ? Why not a compiler ?
That would already be super cool !

Hi, there is an updated version of my computer that can handle up to 256 lines of ROM and 128x32 bit RAM : https://github.com/nicolasloizeau/scalable-gol-computer I advise using this one rather than the old 8 bit computer since it's also a bit smaller for the same size. It can be programmed using th...

Re: New scalable programmable computer
I was wondering, would it be possible in theory to enlarge the display to an arbitrary size or is it restricted to 32x32? For the moment the size is fixed to 32*32. Size could be arbitrary. I could spend some time adding larger display options if it's motivated. I chose 32*32 because for bigger siz...

Hi ! I made a new programmable computer. It's based on my former 8-bit programmable computer . New features and improvements are: - Scalability : 90 pre-computed patterns are available. Max program size is 256 lines. Max number of variables if 128. Variable size range from 8 to 32. - new instruction...

Hi!
What are your tools to find predecessors of a pattern?
Has anyone coded a predecessor finder for small patterns?
Thanks!

Hi,
I made an in-game simulated elementary cellular automaton.
Here the file and a python script which generates an elementary cellular automaton for any rule:

Ho... Strange, I don't remember having any issue with simeks's program.
Does it come from the computer ? Perhaps it is just very slow?
