Could someone give an example of how you might format the input to exclude known spaceships? I’m kinda confused on how to do that.

:) I get it now. Thanks! I just ran a search for an expansion of this partial spaceship in B36/S1258 and it returned a result instantly, claiming that it already was a spaceship (it's not). x = 23, y = 14, rule = B36/S1258 4$6b5o$7b3o! Did I do something wrong? Here's what my initrows.txt looked lik...

I've gotten as far as compiling it (although I'm not sure I'm doing that right, since I know nothing about C or C++). I just used the command that was listed in the readme: g++ -std=...

Which search program is the best for completing (or finding) partial spaceship results in rules other than B3/S23? I noticed an interesting orthogonal partial in a random soup in B36/S1258, but I don't know which program to download to attempt to complete it. Also, would it be best to use a differen...
