You could try to limit calls to the code to speed it up by "compiling" the ruletable once and automatically adding a tree to the file with the code in it (same sort of operation as the existing "clean up old rules"), but it would still have to be run to do that, so fair concern. If the aim is to co...

The changes shorten a long ruletable: Yes the already mentioned changes would allow to shorten many existing ruletables. I'm more interested in what would remain hard. Suppose all of the following becomes possible: When x is an existing variable, writing ?x implicitly declares and uses a new copy o...

Is there a 0-degree reflector such that no objects block it’s output lane? those exist for every spaceship! theyre called not putting anything in the path of the spaceship ! and it reflects 0 degrees, like you said!

... which might be one of causes of said general error. I currently see around 70-80 guests on the forums.

The following ruletable is accepted and interpreted correctly by LifeViewer. However, it is silently misinterpreted by Golly 4.3b1. (There are no error messages, but the pattern evolves incorrectly.) I think the cause is that there are two lines exceeding 1000 characters (declarations of variables "...

I'm not sure that's well-defined enough to go into infobox. I think it would be better to put that kind of information into article text, outside the infobox. For example it's not clear why a dock should be in the house family. What else would be in the same family? What would be other families? Is ...

They clutter up this page. That userpage says "No requirement of completeness or quality is made". Nothing prevents simply omitting links to "low-effort" userpages. That said, a forum post in an existing thread is a better way to share some new CA, compared to going to the wiki and putting stuff th...

Isn't it sideways? The spaceships escape at +/- 90 degrees relative to the direction of the rake. I thought about that, but sideways rakes don't really exist in Life, so I thought it doesn't have its own name. ??? Here are two examples of siderakes in Conway's Life: https://conwaylife.com/forums/vi...

Bump. [...] Tom has done an excellent job of making it relatively easy to write a new algorithm based on the multi-state hashlife (not as easy as writing a new .table or .tree rule, but certainly much easier than writing a completely new algo from scratch).

Why not using c orthogonal or diagonal when no photon exists?

A bit non-uniform (if the scrolling is horizontal, some rows get burned more than others) and slightly boring (I wanted to do oblique movement).
