Re: lifeviewer bug
In LifeViewer, changing the rule from Conway's Life to B3S23 pulls up the theme menu without a button to close it (although if one clicks the button to pull up the help menu, a back button appears). I can't reproduce this. In general if it's not possible to provide a repeatable set of steps or a pa...

Re: LifeViewer erroneously killing gliders
If there's a sufficiently wide (6 hd is definitely sufficient) diagonal strip* between the glider and the rest of the pattern, we can remove it. This follows from the proof of the c/4 diagonal speed limit. That will get rid of most of the gliders, but there will be occasions where two parallel glid...

Re: Pattern viewer for forum threads
I'm confused about how to get a state to change to a different color if it's been alive for more than one generation. I tried using ALIVERAMP, but that makes it slowly change to a different color over time. I'd like any living cell which wasn't just born to immediately switch to a completely differ...

Re: LifeViewer erroneously killing gliders
To some extent yes. But the actual question is how do I know when it's safe to delete a glider?
I can imagine a pattern where it's an arbitrary number of generations until an "escaped" glider is caught by a faster moving spaceship.

Re: LifeViewer erroneously killing gliders
I just found an example that doesn't As escaping glider is one that is found on the edge of the pattern bounding box ahead of any other cells in the pattern. This is true for that example - when the gliders are killed they are on the right edge of the pattern bounding box and one or two cells furth...

Re: LifeViewer erroneously killing gliders
The kill gliders function on LifeViewer apparently kills internal gliders even though it shouldn't. The glider formed at T=94 gets killed correctly because it is alone on the edge of the bounding box (in this case the left edge). If you step the pattern below one generation to T=94 you'll see a gli...

Re: Pattern viewer for forum threads
Experimental support for this has been added. Please let me know how you get on with it. Please hard refresh your browser.
Settings->Pattern->Copy Rule will now copy current rule definition to the clipboard. Note that blank lines are removed.

Re: Pattern viewer for forum threads
How about a mode that helps debug commands? In this mode, the scripts can be run line by line and displayed on the screen real-time. Specifically, the "previous step" key runs the previous line of command, and the "next step" key runs the next line of command. Which commands are you trying to debug...
