Re: Golly scripts

So I was looking through some of my Golly stuff and I realized I never actually posted this "random fill" script I made. So, uh, here it is: --[[ random-fill.lua by SSM24, last updated 2020-11-16 This script fills the selection randomly, with density and states determined by the user. This script is...

...does that mean the blinker and bipole are considered to be fundamentally the same oscillator? They both have the exact same rotor, just different stators.

Re: Script to display evolution of 2D patterns in 3 dimensions

That's actually a really good idea. I went ahead and updated the script to support that, as well as the first post to reflect it.

Here's an example, using a glider going across a torus with a step size of 16:

Script to display evolution of 2D patterns in 3 dimensions

As the title suggests, I have created a script that uses 3D.lua to display the entire evolution of a two-dimensional pattern, using the Y dimension as the time dimension. Here is the script: -- For 3D.lua (make sure to copy this line) -- This script will use 3D.lua to display the evolution of a -- t...

Re: Idea: Distributed computing simulation

See, the thing about apgsearch is, from my understanding, it's a mostly independent thing. Anyone can decide to run the program with whatever parameters they want and then upload the results to Catagolue. Sure, it's "distributed computing" in the sense that Catagolue is the result of a number of dif...

Found another quadratic growth that is either pretty common or I was really lucky to get after only two random patterns (they were fairly large patterns, but still):

Actually, it should be. Like g.new and g.open, g.save also tells Golly to stop remembering changes. This is the case for both Lua and Python. I'd completely forgotten doing that, so thanks for prodding me to check. I'll update the docs for the next release. That does make me wonder, though; why is ...

Re: RuleLoader's B0 handling quirks

Seems exceeding a population of 2^1024 produces nan. I think that limitation might only apply to the iOS version. I seem to remember running into that at one point on iOS Golly, but on desktop it can easily go well beyond that: after a few thousand generations, the population count is displaying 8....

Re: RuleLoader's B0 handling quirks

That's interesting how there's no exponential growth when running at a step size that's a multiple of 2 (any multiple of 2, even something like 6^n, will work). I would expect it to happen regardless, but I guess multiple generations running within a single step are treated differently than generati...

There's no official quoting feature as far as I'm aware. I've seen some people post messages that seem to be preformatted quote messages in code blocks, but I think that's a thing with BetterDiscord (an unofficial plugin) or something.

Re: A script to simulate odd 1D Wolfram cellular automata

Made an adjustment to the script, so that now instead of just exiting with an "invalid state" message upon entering an even rule, it'll instead switch the current rule to the corresponding rule in QuickLife (or HashLife, if that is the current algorithm) and then exit. It is worth noting that there ...
