Hello, I'm back! (after a long time) Has anyone modified apgsearch so that it could run differently sized soups, like 4x4, 5x5, or 32x32? I am doing a project on data analysis in school, so I thought this might be a good place for data. (I'm posting it in this thread because I still am using the Pyt...

Like this? import golly cells = golly.getcells(golly.getrect()) sum = (len(cells) + len(golly.evolve(cells, 1))) / 2 # divide by 2 because there is both an x and y coordinate for one cell golly.note("The population between this generation and the next is %d" % sum) A block therefore would output 8 a...

Pi eater with a strange reaction:

A question:
Are there any catalogues of LWSS collisions? Or other *WSS collisions?

The Turtle

So what's the next likely new period for Catagolue? Any bets on whether it will be an unknown oscillator next time? If you're talking about asymmetric soups, then I would bet it's going to be period 24, namely a figure eight on pulsar. Not surprisingly, I has been right :wink: http://catagolue.apps...

I'm sure this is also known.

x = 65, y = 43, rule = B3/S23

It's basically two blocks and two LOMs.

It might be because people often don't want things handed to them. Conway's Game of Life holds a deep well of secrets to discover, and those who get tentatively interested in it seem to have a "Wow! I wonder what I can find?" attitude. This is great, but immediately throwing them into the world bui...

How about this?

I sure it's known by now. It's basically four traffic light collisions.

Are there any kickbacks with gliders only coming from the SW and NE to produce a SE or NW glider? I didn't find any in the collection (besides the *WSS spaceship reactions) Sure -- it just takes an extra glider. See for example the first two insertion reactions in chris_c's Borg salvo builder ("Res...

The Turtle

The gliders from the Northwest are crashing into the newly-formed B29. When constructing a gun, you should start with a repeatable synthesis. As a starting point, use the following synthesis (this one only includes 6 "problem gliders"): x = 273, y = 29, rule = B3/S23 256bobo$257b2o$257bo3$249bo$250...

An insertion sort is good Python practice, but it's certainly not going to be fast enough to compete with Golly's g.evolve(). Why? Python is a high-level interpreted language, where Golly's C++ code is compiled into an executable. So if they're doing pretty much the same amount of number-crunching,...

Why?

I'll post this here because the script is unfinished. I was able to write this code to sort single values, but not Golly coordinate lists. Here it is: def insertion_sort(unordered_list): ordered_list = [] for i in unordered_list: low, high = 0, len(ordered_list) index = 0 while True: if high - low <...

How can I loop through a list two at a time (with using dvgrn's trick posted previously)? (The code is [[clist ,clist[i+1]] for i in range(0,len(clist),2)] ) EDIT: For example, something like this: (it doesn't work though) for i, j in pattern: print i, j so that >> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] prints i = 0, j...

Patterns are translated back and forth between Golly's internal representation and Python cell lists in a fairly straightforward way, no tricky shortcuts. This is why g.evolve(0) always returns a freshly sorted copy of cell list, with any overlaps taken care of. Golly does (what is usually) quite a...

The image copying didn't work though, but I was able to find the patterns in jslife's misc folder. I found that just dragging the image file and dropping it into Golly worked, although this may not work for images of larger scales. In such cases, I usually copy the image, paste it into Paint, switc...

How can I search for an object by name?
If not, is there a pattern to "apgcode" converter?
That would be helpful.

Thanks,

I was bored, so I created a trivial oscillator composed of smaller oscillators with all periods lower than 57 and excluding 14, 15, 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 51, and 53. It's beyond useless, it's bulky, and there's a mess at the left where I had some problems making an induction coil. Oh, and it's also i...

The Turtle

Speaking of converters... Is there a list of known converters or "metamorphosis" reactions? The link here leads to a Webpage Not Found error. That's odd. I visited that page a couple of days ago, and it was fine. I just visited it now, and it is still fine. Or were you referring to any of the links...
