What is the minimum known initial population for a (12,4)c/62 puffer or rake and how could we reduce this?

muzik

Not sure if this is causing any issues elsewhere but there appears to be a misspelling in this code file:

If you use the "safe" rendering speed, pattern playback while the settings or help menu or graph is open will cause the background to go much darker than before, and there may also be noticeable flickering at each iteration. Also, every fifth generation or so will appear to do nothing.

Is it possible to customize the colours of age states other than just using a single gradient?

It's possible in the engine but there's no way to specify the custom colours at the moment. The engine doesn't know anything about gradients - it's just given a palette of colours to use.

It will ...

Perhaps the "pattern saving" feature could have an option to export and import rle format text, rather than only using the account system?

These two bugs were fixed in build 1382, but appear to have returned in build 1383:

Build 1382's fixes appear to have fixed some other bugs elsewhere and resulted in other behavioural changes.

In this example, after the last living cells die, the triangular and square grids will zoom out and be fully centered on the grid (previously they would remain in place). The hexagonal grid ...

In build 1381 zooming in beyond the threshold where non-rectangular polygons are displayed will cause an unpleasant and distracting flash, which was not the case previously.

When HISTORYSTATES is set to 0 and cells die through normal evolution, no high layered cells are created in either the range-1 or general-range algorithms, which is correct. However, for cells killed by the outer boundary the story is different: the range-1 algorithm correctly produces no such cells ...

This seems like an oversight to me: icon sets for hexagonal and von Neumann [R]History, [R]Super and [R]Investigator rules don't appear to have the checkered even states that Moore rules have. Is this something that can be resolved?

I think this technically counts as one of those Lorentz-shifted replicators:

Help options appear to be unnaturally clustered at the very top of the popup window (scale 1.11, pixel ratio 2.00, window zoom 1.00). Could they be spread out more than this across the vertical axis?

Open the cell map for this and switch between period and frequency modes. There appears to be a pixel at the bottom right of the grid which is absent in period mode but correctly present in frequency mode.

In build 1372 there still appear to be cases where cells are killed even though they should not be - compare how this looks when it automatically stops to when you step back and then forward again from that point:

Most image editors allow for one colour to be drawn via left click, and another colour (often the "erase" colour) to be drawn via right click. I wonder if this functionality could be implemented such that left click draws alive cells on dead areas and right click draws dead cells on alive areas.
