Re: Unofficial symmetries
So Catagolue could keep data for non-GoL CAs, like custom rulesets made by people in this forum. That's an interesting possibility.

Good job. I can't say anything else since you're not linking to your program.PySimpleGUI wrote:Comments and feedback welcomed.

Re: Urgent: please stop searching b3s23h (hexagonal)
Well oops, that was me. I usually watch my instances pretty closely to make sure I'm not flooding but this one escaped me obviously. I'm very sorry about that. I wouldn't mind contributing to the hosting fund if that can someone fix my mistake.

Re: Golly scripts
The first sentence in the getpop docs is "Return the current population as a string.". I'm a bit surprised that Python allows comparison of a string with an int -- seems a daft decision that is only likely to cause hard-to-find bugs. Anyway, if you only want to test if the population is non-zero th...

Re: Golly scripts
If you can get the same behavior back by re-adding time.sleep() calls, I'd be interested to try out that version of your script and see if it causes any trouble on my system. It really shouldn't be causing any particular trouble with Golly -- at least, no one has reported bad behavior related to ti...

Re: Golly scripts
You could borrow various amounts of code from Golly's Scripts/Python/heisenburp.py if you want. In simplest form it's from time import sleep delay = .1 # units are seconds sleep(delay) but the delay could be controlled from the keyboard while the script is running, as heisenburp.py does with the + ...

Re: Golly scripts
When trying a new rule or working on new CAs, I often want to generate many random soups in succession and see how they fare, to get a quick idea of pattern potentials, explosions, infinite growth, etc. I would normally do Control-n, select a 20x20 grid, hit Control-5, lay on the space key and repea...

Re: Thread For Your Unrecognised CA
I have recently made the following rule: @RULE LineChaos I meant to toy with the randfill Golly function to work with special CAs where you don't really want full randomness inside the selection. So here's a small script that generates random LineChaos 20x2 patterns, always keeping the bottom row a...

Re: Snowflakes (B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e)
Now, as for S6i... good question EDIT: S6i also plays a part later on. However, removing S3k does nothing. Will search... You're right, one step further, removing S3k and S3q does nothing to the original reflector (although removing both S3k and S3q does seem to produce mostly just linear-growths.

Re: Snowflakes (B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e)
This is not directly related to Snowflakes but I didn't think it warranted its own thread. As I was trying to better understand non-totalistic rules, I started tweaking the specs of b2ci3ai4c8s02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e to "see what would happen", for example if I removed the last 7e . It's obviously very...

Ooh. Sadly I don't have slack. You can basically just parse the HTML page and keep a copy of the objects you've found and print the difference when it finds a new one. A REST API on Catagolue would be awesome though. ;) A quick and dirty script that checks Catagolue every 30 minutes is below. Be mi...

Re: Script request thread
Someone should write an extension that checks a user's (most likely your) discoveries page every 30 minutes and reports anything new you've discovered. I wrote a quick script that does just that and posts new discoveries of mine on a slack channel. It scrapes the /<user>/all#discoveries page and co...
