Golly recommends that @RULE names: Begin with a capital letter Only use letters and digits Can use hyphens or underscores for separators I'd like to make LifeViewer enforce these recommendations in the future. As of today the following rules are not compatible with these recommendations: 1x(vN).rule...

I can't have an app, and I can't run Golly on web

OK. It's correct and it functions the same way in Golly.

The pattern is positioned incorrectly with the CXRLE specification.

Try the pattern in Golly.

The pattern in the following quote doesn't display correctly (due to CXRLE it settles into a still life), and there seems to be no error message to inform the user that something went wrong

There's no error here. The pattern is positioned correctly with the CXRLE specification.

The cogwheel button in this pattern occasionally fails.

If by fails you mean gets greyed out then this will happen if the height of the viewer is small. This is by design.

A note on LifeViewer aliases: Aliases are only a good thing if they are commonly understood across a relevant family of tools. If not then it can create interoperability issues as you move patterns between the tools. At the moment I'm not aware of any standard repository for aliases so they are not ...

... for cases where the grid isn't visible the bounding rectangle cells might need to be adjusted to fit the rhombic shape.

Done, thanks.

For cases where every nonzero cell is placed outside of a bounded grid, no "New pattern" message is displayed at all, even though there are no cells that are alive. Compare to a case where no living cells are specified at all - we get "New pattern" as expected. I like the current behaviour. "New pa...

In [R]Super CA, period identification seems to ignore period multiplication that comes from using different "alive" cellstates for different parts of the pattern. Is this by design? Which cellstates are considered distinct and which aren't? Identify treats all alive states as the same. This is by d...

LifeViewer does not appear to accept this as a valid rule table, even though Golly does Is Golly ignoring the 00000000001 line, which is one character too long, whereas LifeViewer notices this and complains? The rule table is invalid due to the 00000000001 line which contains 11 entries when there ...

There may be further issues with Copy As MAP.

Fixed, thanks!

Rule tables with titles ending in l are initially assumed to be triangular, forbidding bounded grids with odd dimensions:

Fixed, thanks!

For thumbnail viewers that expand to a ratio that forbids use of the settings menu, there's no way to shrink it back down to a thumbnail size again. In the specific cases where settings would be disabled, can the button be replaced with the shrink button instead of grayed out?

Done, thanks.

Would it be possible to either make this region transparent, or fill it in with the grid pattern as well?

Yes, done.

Can rowett allow B0 NW rules on a finite grid (without emulation)?

Probably not. I don't like the strobing.

could you please temporarily disable support for CA with both B0 and weighted neighbourhood (NW), until this is corrected?

Done.

I can reproduce the "hexagonal period map breaks when changing zoom" on desktop by doing these things... Thanks I'll take a look. Also, another bug: click inside of the bounded grid, and drag that click outside of it, up and to the left or right, and we'll get one escapee cell. Fixed, thanks! Also,...

Fixed, thanks!

Copy as MAP doesn't appear to work for range-1 weighted rules, despite the fact that they can be represented as MAP strings: They can't be represented as MAP strings. There's no way to define the weights in MAP format. R1 Weighted rules are in the range of R1 Moore rules. You can represent them as ...

reposting this ruletable here so the code boxes above can pull from it even after it gets deleted on the wiki:

That won't work. It would need to be appended to each pattern above.

Not entirely sure why, but some of the added anisotropic aliases don't show their names in the bottom left: The ones I added were generated through the "Copy as MAP" functionality, which I'd assume to be correct, but is probably what is at fault here. It was a "Copy as MAP" issue which is now fixed...
