Python.
You’d give it a number n and it would output a random n-G synth.
Check out simsim314's script from... yikes, that was almost five years ago already. It might not precisely match your request, but it might be close enough, and it should be easy to make adjustments.
Another thing you can do nowadays, that seems to be under-utilised: if you write a program (in any language) which prints RLEs of glider syntheses, you can pipe it into apgsearch (compiled with a symmetry containing 'stdin' as a substring) and it will search those as 'soups' instead of 16x16 pseudorandom soups. Everything else is unchanged, so it still uploads to Catagolue (and /hashsoup gives you back the original RLEs as intended). Here's an example:

https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/ov_q6/b3s23

I think there's a limit of 2000 characters per RLE, so you can't search huge soups in this manner, but it certainly gives you much more freedom than the regular symmetries (and accepts multistate RLEs). These RLEs are considered to begin with a line starting 'x' (as RLEs do, because they have a header line "x = ..., y = ...") and end with the next exclamation mark.

Note: this is not compatible with apgsearch's parallel mode.
Also not completely relevant: is the code checked in somewhere that would get apgsearch to submit random unidirectional slow-salvo "soups"? Or is that something only calcyman can do? (I haven't tried looking around in gitlab/apgoucher yet.)
HoneySearch has certainly been open-source for a while now, hiding in slmake. But it's not particularly user-friendly.

I tried fixing that on a different file, and it worked, but now I have a new problem:

Code: Select all

File "/Users/Moosey/Desktop/cellular automata/Golly-3.2-Mac/Scripts/Python/Brett Breger APGcode.py", line 9
      initpop = int(g.getpop())
  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Something similar happens in the simkin G collisions script.,

Also, can I have a python code (without either problem) that finds 20x20 or smaller methuselahs in a supplied nontotalistic rule?
It should display the smallest methuselah.

Can't help you on that one without more context -- except to say that this is one of Python's least user-friendly details. See where the ^ pointer is? The error is called out as line 9, but the actual error is something missing at the end of line 8 -- usually a missing right parenthesis or something along those lines.
Moosey wrote:Also, can I have a python code (without either problem) that finds 20x20 or smaller methuselahs in some nontotalistic rule?
How about a Larger than Life rule? This could be adapted to search other rules, though it's not trivial because methuseblobs tend to disappear cleanly where methuselahs in most rules leave a lot of mess behind.

To solve that problem, you might do something along the lines of what the methuselah fingerprinter script does, starting with random soups in whatever rule you want. You can find out exactly how long a methuselah takes to settle by taking its population-delta fingerprint and removing all the trailing zeroes.

That will generally get you to within one "stride" of the settling point, anyway, whatever number of ticks that might be for your chosen rule. It depends on the LCD of all the oscillator periods that show up sufficiently often in random ash.

I'm guessing it will probably seem like a difficult task to adapt either of these pieces of code to do exactly what you want. On the other hand, putting in some serious time trying to do this kind of thing yourself is a very good way of clarifying what you want, and how much you want it -- and it also tends to get other people more interested in helping with any problems that might come up.

Pretty sure that's uncomputable in general (set the main rule to one where gliders are spinners or something and blocks are stable, and have the pattern be a seed for an arbitrary TM emulator in Life that is also programmed to return to the original configuration upon halting)

isorule.py might be what you're looking for for the first one. I understand what you mean in the latter case, (e.g. DryLife goldenhead) though I'm not sure how to modify it to count those cases since most of the code was written by Rhombic.

Well, if it's "with the same period and displacement" then it's (somewhat) efficiently computable by DFSing the isotropic rulespace, but that would probably work better with a dedicated program due to all the ruleswitching

No, it does NOT have to be the same period and/or displacement.

Oh good, then you want the most barebones version of your script. That might be doable for someone who actually knows how to make scripts.

That script is writable as described, but it couldn't be run to completion. If I'm thinking about it right, you've excluded roughly four isotropic bits, leaving about 2^98 isotropic range-1 Moore-neighborhood rules to search through.

That's over 10^29 rules, which is more than the number of stars in the universe or the number of microseconds since the Big Bang. You could maybe exclude the B2 transitions as well, but it wouldn't make much practical difference.

So even if you can check one rule per microsecond (which is more than a little unlikely with a Golly script, especially since you haven't specified a maximum number of ticks to check for matches) you're going to be waiting a mighty long time for a complete report of workable rules.

Maybe test randomly chosen rules for N seconds? That probably wouldn't find anything in a reasonable amount of time, though. Or just test all rules that are [N=1, 2, 3...] transitions away from a given rule? That's doable for small N, but gets a couple of orders of magnitude harder every time N increases by 1, so that search would get bogged down fairly quickly too -- and it would probably find mostly trivial matches, where a particular isotropic bit is barely used and just produces some change that dies away and returns to the same evolutionary sequence.

There are only a few tens of thousands of Life-Like rules, so a script to survey those would be a much more reasonable goal.

so you can't even do it in theory, if the maximum period is unbounded. However, if there's a maximum period, then it is possible, by just doing a depth first search of the isotropic rulespace and looking for rules where the pattern repeats before the period limit (and possibly optimizing out B1e/B2a explosions, B0, S01234, and other isotropic transition combinations that make spaceships impossible), which would be much fore efficient than just brute force searching all isotropic rules (which is computationally infeasible)

Don't think anyone is. You've been saying things that are true, and therefore they didn't seem to need to be replied to.

I wasn't sure if "uncomputable" meant very much to Moosey and Gustone, let alone the reference to Halting Problem-type uncomputability. So I tried explaining in more detail how impractical it would be to try to survey all isotropic rules, or any significant fraction of them.

Lifelib is probably the preferred option for generating canonical apgcodes, but if that's not available, or inconvenient, I believe this is the Python version which matches the greedy apgcodes implemented in Lifelib. I haven't verified this to be the case - would be good if someone can do so and we should probably clarify that on the LifeWiki.
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

Semi-active here - recovering from a severe case of LWTDS.

I just tried this with the asymmetric pre-pulsar spaceship and can confirm that it produces the exact same apgcode as lifelib.

Does anyone have a script to calculate volatility and strict volatility? Oscillizer only works for periods less than 300, which is why stats are still missing for 60P312 on the wiki.

Come to think of it, it's probably time to port Oscillizer to Lua and add it to Golly's scripts. It might end up a little slower, but at least it will be easy to bump up that arbitrary period limit when we need to.

Here's the relevant section for the volatility calculations -- seems simple enough, except for that pop_subperiod thing...

Code: Select all

	printf("volatility=%.2f%%",PCT(pop_rotor,pop_total));

	printf(", strict-volatility=");
	printf("%.2f%%\n",PCT(pop_subperiod[period],pop_total));
