Re: Golly bugs
@Dave/Chris: The code in MainFrame::GetScriptFileName needs a major overhaul so best leave that job to me. My thinking is to just simplify the code in the following way: If a line starts with "--" or "local " then assume it's a Lua script, or if a line starts with "import " or "from " then assume i...

Re: Golly bugs
Copying each of the following RLEs into clipboard and doing "File -> Run Clipboard" causes the error message appended after that RLE. I think I've mentioned this before, but if you have an RLE in the clipboard and try to click Run Clipboard, it tells you that Perl scripting is no longer supported. ...

LifeViewer now requires that the @RULE name matches the name specified in the RLE header.confocaloid wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2024, 5:13 pmWell, when I tried the above test patterns, my expectations were that LifeViewer will search for a @RULE header in which the name does match the name specified in the RLE header.

Re: Pattern viewer for forum threads
LifeViewer appears to accept and ignore arbitrary text between the end of pattern data and the @RULE header. Is this intended? Yes. Anything after the end of pattern data is treated as comments and could contain LifeViewer script commands. If while processing the comments LifeViewer comes across an...

Re: Golly bugs
When running safeopenclip.lua, if the rulefile is not installed yet, the script shows a help page with a suggestion to download the rulefile. Clicking on that link triggers download, with a download progress indicator. Sometimes there is a message "Assertion failed" during download. Fixed in the ne...

Shouldn't the middle cell be shown as "0" instead?

Re: LifeViewer bug on mobile devices
There's a good chance that you can't use the pan function on mobile (maybe also happens in other touchscreen devices). When you tap somewhere in the viewer window, it seems to be like holding the "cursor". I can't reproduce this. What device are you using? Which browser and version? Anyone else see...

Re: Golly suggestions
The only one I'm a little unhappy with is supporting whitespace between counts and verbs (and within counts). I don't think "12 o" should be legal, much less "1 2o", where the space is any sort of whitespace (newlines, tabs, spaces). I just don't see a reason that should be supported. Does anyone w...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
A cleaner solution might be to make pattern comment rules transient (i.e. not saved). All of the valid comments in this thread above are handling the situation where we're trying to persist the rule and deal with name clashes and so on. When opening a pattern if it contains an @RULE section in the p...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
Possible actions that a user could choose would be 1) replace Golly's stored rule with the rule from the pattern comments, and open the pattern; 2) ignore the rule in the comments and use Golly's stored rule, and open the pattern; 3a) cancel opening the pattern; 3b) pop up an HTML window showing th...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
When I first added the capability to LifeViewer (build 470, December 2019) to have an @RULE definition appended to a pattern it was to create a self-contained single file with everything needed to view the pattern. Initially it was used to allow people to post patterns to the forum before the used r...

Re: Thread for basic questions
All three attempts consistently tell that the pattern snippet is somehow broken, but I cannot see how/why the snippet is broken. Visually it seems to be valid RLE with pattern comments. What causes the problem here? It is not valid to have whitespace between a count and symbol in RLE (e.g. 3b ). Th...

Re: Golly 4.3b1
Side note: does Golly seriously not have support for isotropic non-totalistic hexagonal rules yet? This has been in lifelib and LifeViewer for literally more than half a decade, by this point . The rule support is already there via mapstrings - surely adding the notation on top shouldn't be too dif...

try to set this to 50x speed. When I try it it either plays at 49x speed or 51x speed If the display is too small then there will be a few speeds that can't be selected. If you really want 50x you could use the script command [[ STEP 50 ]] in the pattern. #C [[ STEP 50 ]] x = 0, y = 0, rule = B/S01...
