Pasting in some rules causes LifeViewer to freeze It's because: the rule specified only has 18 states (0 to 17) you're using PASTEMODE 7 (which is OR) and you're pasting state 16 over state 2 and (16 OR 2) = 18 State 18 is illegal so LifeViewer gets upset at that point. I'll have LifeViewer ignore ...

Impeccable positioning on that first codebox there, LifeViewer. Really just pristine and perfect.

Fixed, thanks for reporting!

1- Is the LifeViewer documentation available somewhere online, rather than scrolling through it all inside the application itself? Maybe it's a good idea to put a version of those scrollable Help files in the LifeWiki LifeViewer article. You can copy the Help information from LifeViewer to the clip...

Also can B0 HROT be supported on an unbounded grid (or at least rendered in a way that stops the background from strobing)?

I'll take a look.

Will LifeSuper cells be made to have the fading history and longevity effects that other rules do (if shortened from the usual amount to account for the amount of states used for other purposes, and possibly for only the first state)? Yes but not sure when. Playing with Golly at the moment... super...

Just noticed that autofit works inconsistently between usual rules and their history versions AutoFit will fit to the non-zero state cells in the pattern: #C [[ AUTOFIT ]] x = 3, y = 3, rule = Life 3o$o$bo! For rules that support it you can optionally include the (cosmetic) history states also by t...

So the WIDTH 840 argument only throws an error when quoted? Depends on your screen width. For embedded LifeViewers it's not allowed for the LifeViewer display to be wider than the text area containing the RLE. When you quote a post containing an embedded LifeViewer it narrows the available width be...

Yes, done.

some characters like & and : break aliases, see Day & Night, Leaplized D&N, 9:43 at Knight

Fixed, thanks. Note Golly doesn't support rule names with spaces, colons or other special characters so (although LifeViewer allows it) it's probably not a great idea to include them in alias names.

New resizeable LifeViewer is here. Would much appreciate any feedback!

I'm aware there's an issue with menu controls overlapping if the window is made too narrow and the Settings button not appearing if the initial window height is too small. I'll fix in due course.

Based on my investigations: In Golly the HashLife algo and QuickLife algo use a different y-order when processing rules that fit in a 3x3 cell block: Moore, von Neumann, Hexagonal, Elementary Wolfram and MAP. For von Neumann and Hexagonal a mask is applied to remove the unneeded cells but the algo i...

When on a triangular rule and zoomed out more than 4x, can the grid be vertically stretched somewhat so that everything doesn't look super flat?

Yes, this will be in the next release.

Why does with an empty pattern switching to a square/tri grid rule set the zoom level to 32.0, a hex grid to -7.0, an [R]History one to -16.0, and an incorrectly-formatted ruletable/tree by the capitalisation of the first letter (like "evoloop") do apparently nothing and stay in the original rule b...

It looks like the bug is specific to MAP rules and when saving such patterns in a .mc file, or maybe when loading those files. (The reason Undo seems to be the trigger is because generation changes are saved in temporary files.) I'm not familiar with the MAP code, or the macrocell code, so I'll hav...

the quoted pattern breaks as well at around gen 988. In Golly this doesn't happen.

It's a bug which I'll fix soon. Thanks for reporting!

Thank you for using LVEnhanceBot! Here are LifeViewer's newest bugs and suggestions:

Thanks for the report. Advance Selection only currently works for 2-state Life-like rules. I should probably disable it for the other rule types until it's implemented.

Does this mean that HROT could now support triangular as one of its possible neighbourhood types Yes, that's the plan. Also on the topic of triangular rules, since we can simulate PCA on a square grid could similar such support be added for triangular PCA - for example the ReversibleLife rules whic...
