Note: You have to compile ofind for 32bit architecture. (`-m32` in gcc AFAIK) Ofind could use some more improvement. This was an attempt to find a p5: Some ofind partial Compare this, which is the largest partial I found with JLS: Some JLS partial What were you trying to search? And what were your i...

I don't think this p8 is even anything new. p8 Can it be made into a flipper? The answer is yes, but I didn't bother to find the minimal form. x = 48, y = 17, rule = B3/S23 27b2o$o3bo4b2o16bo4bobo2b2ob2o$5o4b2o18bo3bo4bobo2b2o$2bo5bo9b2ob2o5b 4obob3o2bo3bo$bobo3bo9bobobobo3bo5bo3bobob3o$2bo5bo2bobo...

Cross-posted from the Unsure Discoveries thread: first real post, hehe. i've never seen this reaction mentioned -- a blinker at the edge of a fleet shifts it 2 cells diagonally in 26 ticks: x = 14, y = 10, rule = B3/S23 4b2o$3bobo$3b2o$b2o8b3o$obo5b2o$2o5bobo$7b2o$5b2o$4bobo$4b2o! it can be made in...

Yep, checked both scripts working good. Thank you!

(Note to mods: if there is a topic for this feel free to move this into that existing topic, thanks :>) Wouldn't the forums be more fun if BBcode supported more features? Here are the ones that I wish to have: Syntax highlighting There's a phpBB extension for that: https://github.com/s9e/phpbb-ext-h...

Okay, I've confirmed that there's a substantial speed difference in the two version. I'll see if I can narrow the issue. Edit: At least this script shows some difference between the two versions: import golly as g import itertools as it import timeit counter = it.count() t_start = timeit.default_tim...

HYPE! This should reduce the 2c/3 transmitter by an order of magnitude.

On https://conwaylife.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4133&p=101163#p100931 More technical problem-- In trying to get the pasteboard in another app I've written, I find that while the contents are described as "public.utf16-plain-text", it is really explicitly little-endian.

1. I reeeeally like the idea, and the presentation for the patterns was excellent for me. 2. I think it's underappreciated (especially compared to the effort into this) because currently it has several hoops to jump through. * 2a. I have to navigate and launch the script for every pattern. * * For 2...

@EV2
I agree. I'm surprised if nobody pointed this out before. I think I've thought the same before.

Okay, currently the build seems to be working: https://sourceforge.net/u/scorbie/golly/ci/python3/tree/ Many thanks to Tomas Rokicki for the help and directions!

Currently I got the gist of `gui-wx/wxpython.cpp` but would like to change the structure of this file to make my life a bit easier. I'll ask permission from the devs from the mailing list if I can commit the changes to the main branch if I do so. I'll elaborate technical details in the mailing list....

Working on it...
https://sourceforge.net/u/scorbie/golly ... hon3/tree/

Currently the build works okay, but running a script raises a mysterious StderrCatcherForGolly error.
Strange because manually embedding almost the same code outside of Golly ran perfectly okay.

Still working on it...

Didn't realize there was any interest in moving to Python3 at all;
I'll get my hands on it and see if anything's working (Currently using Windows 10). Of course help from others would be thankful.

The "loaf spin" catalyst that ended up in the spider eater gives a baker's dozen variant just fine – but apparently nobody noticed (not listed on LifeWiki): x = 19, y = 21, rule = B3/S23 14bo$13bobo$13bobo$12b2ob3o$18bo$12b2ob3o$12b2obo3$4b2o3b2o$4b2o2bo2bo b2o$8bobo2b2o$9bo2$3bob2o$b3ob2o$o$b3ob2o...

@rowett thank you for testing!

Apologies for the late reply, Lunar new years day endeavors here... Is this distro meant to include Python? Unfortunately no, although I could try that if that's wanted by many on Linux and Windows. The word "Portable" is as in apps that work on all Linux distros (as opposed to one that you get from...

Exciting to see new this approach being viable. I'll wish a new period oscillator be found.

I just read the paper and cannot relate what this has to do with their point. For a layman like me the gist of the paper, I think, is trying to say: It's easier to say ~~"Spider"~~ Nope, wrong name; "Smallest c/5 spaceship" rather than the RLE of it. which seems to be generally true with objects com...
