This appears to rotate, not flip, and has a mod a quarter of its period, so FlipXY doesnt seem correct.

Hotkey suggestion: middle clicking on a cell, or having your mouse over it and pressing ', should select this cell as the one to be drawn with. Is there a hotkey for random fill? I would suggest using Ctrl and 5 for this like with golly, but that's already taken by an entire system of select draw st...

Also, is there any plans to return support for alt margolus rules in the future?
I haven't removed support for Alternate Margolus rules.

Meant to say reversing them.

There's this bug that I've noticed on touchscreen devices in general (both iOS and Android): sometimes, with a popup viewer active, when scrolling and doing stuff, there's a chance that the viewer will instantly jump to the area last tapped. This gets quite annoying and it also appears to disable th...

By the way, please update Rule:StateInvestigator (This is v2.1): Important to ask: do you plan on updating StateInvestigator beyond this?

It it possible to make a rule table for alternating larger than life rules?

Ruletables dont support ranges beyond 1 but you can absolutely define alternating LtL rules via LifeViewer.

Some colour changes I've made to some states. Do these work, or are they godawful? Not sure yet. The colors you've chosen are probably nicer to look at than the horrible flat clash-y colors from LifeHistory. On the other hand, my first reaction was definitely super confusion. Seems like there's a g...

I gave my computer a good 100 hours with FredkinModN.py to generate a modulo 3 triangular grid replication rule, and got this as an output: x = 1, y = 1, rule = Fredkin_mod3_triangularMoore_emulated o! The pattern stays symmetrical, and there's certaintly a lot of dying that happens on each generati...

Thank you again for all these fixes. I doubt this is intended behaviour: the reverse button doesn't seem to respect alternating rules and you can use it to make cells dance around by spamming it, instead of having the rule run backwards to its initial starting generation and looking identical to it....

I, for one, would absolutely LOVE to see LifeViewer officially supporting general LifeSuper/LifeUltra rules for as far as it can currently go with [R]History.

I definitely don't want any more states added to SuperLH, as I mentioned at the bottom of this much-too-long-so-my-apologies post . SuperLH has an awkwardly large number of states already, and adding even more extra states at the end will make the no-trail ON states a lot harder for me to use. My o...

A few thoughts on LifeViewer's custom ruletable support: - There should be some way to specify the population value for certain states in a given rule. Currently every non-0 cell state in a custom ruletable is counted towards the total population with a value of 1, but this can prove problematic in ...

The main problem I can think of is efficiency. LifeViewer can run the @TABLE-only version of this okay, but slowly. The @TREE version of this would be over 5MB already, even without adding any more states. Probably Golly is somewhat less speedy with this 20-state rule as compared to LifeHistory. It...

On a closely related note, I've had an idea on mind for the past month or so regarding LifeHistory that could fit snugly into this new, budding pattern analysis machine: Why not merge cells from ExtendedLife (and rules derived from it) into SuperLH? These cells are fun to play with by themselves, bu...

muzik

Now this is an interesting case. Would there be any particular downsides for this rule becoming the "default" LifeHistory packaged with Golly? I can see this becoming borderline revolutionary if it's set as the new default, standard LifeHistory.

Sierpinski generator, in AlephAlpha's hexagonal RRO rule:

Code: Select all

Are these patterns considered n^log2(3) growth, by the way?
