Only the top one of these two display a death message. I'm not sure if this has been fixed in conjunction with the generations death message bug though.

Also, can the outside of bounded grids be made to match the outside of the default limited plane?

[rowett]

The LifeViewers in this post only load up an empty frame for me:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2933&start=100#p47562

This was a bug which has been fixed for the next release. Thanks!

[rowett]

Only the top one of these two display a death message. I'm not sure f this has been fixed in conjunction with the generations death message bug though.

There was an issue where in the PopUp Viewer the died at generation was not displayed from the second pattern loaded if not reset. This has been fixed and will be in the next release.

Also, can the outside of bounded grids be made to match the outside of the default limited plane?

I'll take a look.

From this post and downwards, there seems to be a bug with Safari where opening up a lot of these lifeviewers one after another eventually has a chance to cause the page to crash and reload because of a problem. Not sure if this is a memory leak of some sort or an issue with Safari on ipad, but it might be worth looking into.

Pages like this also have the tendency to crash the page repeatedly as well, likely due to the large amount of LifeViewers present.


Cheers for those previous fixes, by the way.

A minor annoyance with the popups: opening one with an increased POPUPWIDTH, closing it, and then opening one without that argument causes the new pop up to appear in the center or left of the screen, as opposed to being aligned to the right.

For 2-state patterns you have the option of zero history states or 63 history states based on the THEME colours. For multi-state patterns you only get 1 history state

In that case, would it be possible to add the fading history effect to multistate rules with <192 states or so, given that there's enough room for them? (History states for live cells that have been live for long enough should probably not be added.)

[77topaz]

Something odd I just noticed: when you have a LtL pattern with history states, using the autofit option zooms to the entire envelope of the pattern including the history states, as opposed to just the pattern itself as it does for other rules.

e.g.

Code: Select all

x = 205, y = 203, rule = R100,C0,M1,S10350..15740,B9350..12360,NM

[[ AUTOFIT ]]

[Moosey]

Something odd I just noticed: when you have a LtL pattern with history states, using the autofit option zooms to the entire envelope of the pattern including the history states, as opposed to just the pattern itself as it does for other rules.

e.g.

Code: Select all

x = 205, y = 203, rule = R100,C0,M1,S10350..15740,B9350..12360,NM

[[ MAXGRIDSIZE 10 ]]
[[ AUTOFIT ]]

Does not behave that way for me.
EDIT:
Ohhh, now I see what you mean by the below post. At some point the viewer actually follows it because it ignores the very final history state.

[77topaz]

For me, Moosey's example also shows the zooming-on-history-envelope behaviour. I suppose I should clarify that it ignores the "final" history state (the static one) but zooms on all of the "decaying" history states as well as the actual pattern.

[Moosey]

New post because unrelated to first:
For some reason, my browser is running these LTL examples on small planes. Is there a reason for that?
It was behaving perfectly before.
EDIT:
Alright, that's weird. It's working fine again. Maybe I just had to refresh the page.
Still, that was unusual.
EDIT2:
Now it's happening again. Is anyone else experiencing an "intermittent small planes" bug? I haven't tested to see if it is a problem on non-LTL rules.
Keep refreshing to make sure you really aren't experiencing it.
EDIT3:
It appears that it happens when I refresh the browser, then stops once I do so the second time.
EDIT4:
Okay, so I refreshed again, and it's still working. Perhaps the bug happens more randomly than I think?
EDIT5:
It has worked perfectly 3 times in a row now. I guess it's more random than I think.
EDIT6:
It has now worked perfectly 6 times in a row. Maybe it's over.
EDIT7:
It stopped working again. This is definitely more of a "randomly occurring small planes" bug.
EDIT8:
It's working again. Sorry about the repeated updates to this post.

... there seems to be a bug with Safari where opening up a lot of these lifeviewers one after another eventually has a chance to cause the page to crash and reload because of a problem.

I'll take a look.

Pages like this also have the tendency to crash the page repeatedly as well, likely due to the large amount of LifeViewers present.

Yes I can reproduce this on my iPhone. It's almost certainly exhausting the memory in Safari due to too many LifeViewers on the page.

There are a couple of things planned which will reduce the memory footprint in LifeViewer. For example, lazy allocation of the memory required by the population graph. At the moment it's allocated up front and in most cases the graph is never viewed.

You can see how much memory an individual LifeViewer is using by clicking on "Help" at the top right of the Window and then scrolling (quite a long way down) until you get to the "Memory" section. I'll also add some aggregate memory usage details across all LifeViewer's on a page.

A minor annoyance with the popups: opening one with an increased POPUPWIDTH, closing it, and then opening one without that argument causes the new pop up to appear in the center or left of the screen, as opposed to being aligned to the right.

Yes I'll fix that it annoys me too!

Would it be possible to add the fading history effect to multistate rules with <192 states or so

Yes it's on the backlog.

For some reason, my browser is running these LTL examples on small planes. Is there a reason for that?

I'm sorry I don't understand. What are you seeing?

[rowett]

Something odd I just noticed: when you have a LtL pattern with history states, using the autofit option zooms to the entire envelope of the pattern including the history states, as opposed to just the pattern itself as it does for other rules.

Well spotted! I'll fix it for the next release.

Some rulestrings may be too long to accurately view properly when mousing over/tapping the shortened rulestring from the T box, going through the right side of the screen.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R2,C2,S1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,B1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23
o!

Also, can it be made to support generations rulestrings regardless of where the B, S and G/C are positioned, as long as they're correctly notated?

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 4, rule = S12/G3/B34
.2A$A7.A2.A$A7.A2.A$.2A6.2A!

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 4, rule = C3/S12/B34
.2A$A7.A2.A$A7.A2.A$.2A6.2A!

(Again, thanks for those fixes.)

ToolTips can now be two lines long and will attempt to split at a space, comma or slash.

Also, can it be made to support generations rulestrings regardless of where the B, S and G/C are positioned, as long as they're correctly notated?

No, because I don't want to encourage the use of rule formats that aren't supported by other programs.

[muzik]

Can this inconsistency be patched, though? These rulestrings have everything in the same order, and are just lacking the capitalization and slashes.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = b34s12g3
A2.A$A2.A$.2A!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = s12b34g3
A2.A$A2.A$.2A!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B34/S12/G3
A2.A$A2.A$.2A!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = S12/B34/G3
A2.A$A2.A$.2A!

I'm sorry I don't understand. What are you seeing?

Okay, so take 77topaz's Spaceship. It usually moves upwards for a while before the viewer destroys it because it went off the "plane". However, sometimes, instead of doing so, it moves up for a tiny bit, then promptly dies.
This seems to happen randomly, but other devices in my house are also exhibiting this bug.

LifeViewer supports twists on cross surfaces. but they don't do anything. Golly rejects these.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:C20,20
o3$9bo$9bobo$9b2o14$19bo!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:C20*,20
o3$9bo$9bobo$9b2o14$19bo!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:C20,20*
o3$9bo$9bobo$9b2o14$19bo!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:C20*,20*
o3$9bo$9bobo$9b2o14$19bo!

also spheres: (I think this notation should be adopted officially to mean that the pole of the sphere stretches from the top left to bottom right as opposed to bottom left to top right, but that's just a suggestion, and I don't know if it's worth it)

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:S20
o3$9bo$9bobo$9b2o14$19bo!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:S20*

LifeViewer supports twists on cross surfaces.

It doesn't it's just the rule parser wasn't spotting the illegal bounded grid definition. Twists are only valid on Klein-bottles. I've fixed the bug. Thanks for your continued efforts!

[muzik]

no probs.

"Double twists" are also "supported"; I'm not sure if these should cancel out and result in a null twist or just be rejected entirely and marked as illegal.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:K15,15**
o$obo$2o!

Here's a pattern Golly can simulate, but not LifeViewer.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R500,C0,M0,S0..1002001,B1..1002001,NM
o!

...and while trying to fix that, I noticed something weird: the resultant growing pattern, being centered (I assume), should remain square at all times, but appears to become noticeably rectangular as it approaches the borders during generation 7:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R500,C0,M1,S0..1002001,B1..1002001,NM
o!

The rule parser was ignoring extraneous characters after the bounded grid definition. I've changed this so any extra characters are an error.

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R500,C0,M0,S0..1002001,B1..1002001,NM
o!

Actually in this case LifeViewer is correct and it's a bug in Golly (which I fixed some time ago but hasn't been released yet). When you specify M0 you're saying that the middle cell is not included in the neighbourhood count. This means the maximum allowed survival count goes down by 1.

... the resultant growing pattern, being centered (I assume), should remain square at all times, but appears to become noticeably rectangular as it approaches the borders during generation 7

Yes this is because the pattern is getting too close to the grid edges and LifeViewer is simply clearing rows and columns to make space. When I get round to it I'll implement the algorithm that the 2-state rules use which is to delete entire patterns of connected cells (using DELETERANGE) which get too close to the edge. It's on the backlog.

POTENTIALLY VERY IMPORTANT: I think there's an S8 here that shouldn't be.

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 13, rule = R1,C2,S2-3,B3,NM
b2o$b2o$b2o3$o2bo$o2bo5b4ob4ob4o$o2bo3$b2o$b2o$b2o!

(Also, since HROT support is a relatively new thing compared to Generations, can the canonical form be made so that Bbirth precedes Ssurvival, so it's more in line with range-1 outer-totalistic notation? S before B would still be supported.)

Also, why are there no test cases for the fixes anymore?

[muzik]

something else weird: it seems as though non-Moore birth and survival conditions in HROT can accept numbers that look like they should be out of range, but aren't.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R3,C2,S1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,B1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,NC
o!

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R2,C2,S1,3,5,7,9,11,13,B1,3,5,7,9,11,13,25,NN
o!

-----

Almost certaintly low-priority (as always) suggestion regarding HROT: since we can specify "every single condition from one value to the other" using a dash (e.g. 3-8 = 3,4,5,6,7,8), can we have a way to similarly indicate that only every second birth/survival condition be considered within the given range? For example, R1,C2,S0~8,B1~7,NM would be the same as saying R1,C2,S0,2,4,6,8,B1,3,5,7.

Well spotted. Fixed in the next build.

No, because it's more like LtL and that has S then B.

Also, why are there no test cases for the fixes anymore?

There are I just haven't published them yet. If you want to validate a fix the easiest way is to use this page and paste the offending pattern into the text box and click "View".
