<snip> One of mentioned patterns is in a triangular rule, and several other patterns suggested down in the post (i.e. von Neumann neighbourhood, hexagonal neighbourhood, tripod neighbourhood) are also in rules that aren't Life-like cellular automata. Hence such a folder should not go into "Life-Lik...

Regarding the active region in the Jubjub reflector, I've noticed that it is similar to multum in parvo, differing only by the presence of a hook instead of a foot, as you can see here. x = 21, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 3o12b3o$o2bo10bo3bo$4bo9b2o3bo$5bo14bo!

Floor ϖ (pronounced "pomega") is the same as floor π, except all circles are replaced with lemniscates. Floor ij (completely unrelated to floor ij) has been colonised by the Dutch. Floor þ contains people who want to replace þe digraph "th" with þe letter "þ". It has a curse which causes everyþing in...

Floor NaN can be accessed by taking the elevator to a floor that does not exist. All of the textures on Floor NaN are missing.

A script to determine critical mass of a rule. Something along the lines of: Set n to some preset number (16?) While necessary { Repeat 1000 times { Run a random n*n soup Check if it stabilises } If a majority of soups do not stabilise { Choose larger n } Else { Choose smaller n } } Return smallest ...

Thing is, it's still a major problem for mobile Golly users such as me. Could you or someone who knows their way around the code at least try and fix t?

I have a better metric for measuring how explosive a rule is: critical mass. The critical mass of a rule is the least integer n such that at least half of all patterns that fit in a n*n box exhibit quadratic growth. For example, Live Free or Die (B2/S0) has a critical mass of 2, as only 5 of the 16...

I've encountered that issue with other iOS/iPad apps. Seems to be an issue with some NSFileManager calls like contentsOfDirectory(atPath:) where there's no control over the order in which items (in that case, string names) are returned. Since it seemed more of an esthetic issue when I encountered i...

Even after getting a new iPad and updating to the latest version of Golly, all the patterns are still in a random order. It doesn't randomise each time, it's the same random order each time, and it isn't in order of creation or last edit. Any idea why? Anyone able to fix it?

Edit: what are states 12 and 13 supposed to be? 12/13 works like 0/1, but in order to be born at least one of its neighbors needs to be a 1 cell. It's kind of useless, as it can be replaced with nothing if it borders 0, 1 or 2 always-on cells, or with always-off if it borders 3 or more always-on ce...

That'd be n/e: even diagonal symmetry is possible with glide-reflecting spaceships. This is actually a valid point. Two possible types of diagonal reflections possible for diagonal spaceships: one across a line that passes through cell centered and vertices (example below, we'll call this just n/) ...
