When setting the rule to a Hensel notation rulestring including the same digit twice in the same section of the rule, but with one followed by an inverted letter string and one by a non-inverted letter string, the rule that the algorithm follows is different from the rule that the canonicalized rule...

Here is a upper bound for the smallest universal computer in Bliptile, which emulates W110. I haven't put much effort into making it smaller. The part that does computations fits in a 12x26 bounding box, and the remainder of the pattern is the tape, which can be expanded indefinitely. I'm sure it c...

oscar.lua (and probably oscar.py also) attempts to account for the possibility that patterns in B0 rules can spuriously match after an odd number of generations, but erroneously only discards them if the pattern hasn't moved, e.g.: x = 3, y = 2, rule = B01c23-a45678/S3a b2o$3o! which is incorrectly ...

Reviving the thread to mention that I've built a second computer, called LEAST. 8-bit this time, same amount of storage as before (128 bytes, all general purpose), plus an accumulator, but with input: there are four buttons which you can press by placing a state 2 cell on them. The system uses a set...

2c/6d, 3c/34d, c/4o and a predecessor of an oddly large common oscillator in B2o4o5/S12m3-p4p5H:

LifeSuper wrongly canonicalizes any rule with transitions B3/S23 by replacing that substring with Life regardless of the rule's neighborhood, resulting in an invalid rulestring.

Added to the list . Thanks! I'm planning to write an overview of how the CPU works once I'm in the headspace for it, but one note on the displays and I'm sorry to disappoint you : I'm particularly impressed with what I assume are decoder units that convert a 4 bit value to 7 bits that are fed into ...

when running some types of bounded grids (i found the issue with toruses that are bounded in the horizontal direction but not the vertical), quicklife slows down to a crawl after a couple thousand generations, even with a fairly small, completely static pattern. pausing and resuming doesn't fix the ...

After updating my graphics drivers both Golly 3.4 and Golly 4.0b2 crash on startup with the following error messages:

Update on this: 3.4 works again, as does 4.0b2 (which makes me assume that there was a bug in the updated driver that was quickly noted and fixed)

After updating my graphics drivers both Golly 3.4 and Golly 4.0b2 crash on startup with the following error messages: 4.0b2: The program 'golly' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (D...

I'm starting piece #0039 now.

In Golly 3.3b2 (and possibly in earlier versions as well), the bottom right corner of the border around each icon in the icon bar and in the scroll bar above it and the box around the selected state are all missing. It looks like you're using Linux -- if so, which flavor and version? [...] Did you ...

587648208755228687.gif A few weeks ago, I had the idea of creating a rule that would allow for the creation of animated pixel art within Golly. The main idea of the rule is to use a 2x2 square of cells in Golly to represent one pixel, with all four pixels sharing the same display colour. In order t...

Recently, Macbi discussed Conway's Game of Life on various neigborhoods on the Discord server. After implementing a one-dimensional variant with range 4 in my custom simulator (which I should post at some point), I quickly realized that B3/S23/R4O didn't result in anything interesting and began look...
