Btw, I can't get Atomtrap to work on my Vista computer. It says: Runtime Error 1507 - Display using 32 bit is not supported by available hardware at line 1487 Any way to fix this? 64 bit mode please? About the speed, I checked the speed of the atoms and it was around 3-4 sq/sec. So I guess I'M the o...

It's a cool game, but it needs a Pause button. I find that there are levels that are overly difficult because you can't stop to reflect on your next moves. Also, it's cool that you save and load levels via Golly patterns. Just a fun 'extra'. Also a suggestion: There should be a tile with some mechan...

Mine was fairly boring. Before: x = 81, y = 30, rule = B3/S23 14$11b5o2b3o3b3o2b2o2bob5o2b3o3b3o2b5ob5ob4o$13bo3bo3bobo3bobobobobobo bobo3bobo3bo3bo3bo5bo3bo$13bo3bo5bo3bobobobobobobobo3bobo7bo3bo5bo3bo$ 13bo3bo5bo3bobobobobobobob5o2b3o4bo3b3o3b4o$13bo3bo5bo3bobobobobobobob o3bo5bo3bo3bo5bo3bo$13bo3...

I mean, algorithms are simply easier.
Instead of having to tweak a file for a new rule, you just punch in a few numbers in a textbar!

I can't believe with Weighed Life that Golly hasn't added a seperate algorithm for it yet.
It would be much easyier then making a rule table.

I think it would be cool to have a Census functiuon, like WinLife32 has.
Golly is better than MCell or WinLife32, but I have to keep all 3 because of these 'unique' featues of them.

This sounds like a cool idea. Do you have a rule table for it?

Wow! You could make circuits like WireWorld, and have them grow and change as it runs!

You need a simple Weighted Life format, like MCell has. And, maybe, Larger Than Life format?

This has happened to me too.

There is a refrence to Life in "Star Trek: The Next Generation - 20th-Centery Computers and How they Worked".

While using the CA Soup Search in 2x2, I came across a diagnol line puffer that locked up the program. Sadly, I could not copy it from the page quick enough.

The secret to finding life-like rules is to make certain combinations of cells "worth" more than others.


I'll find an example soon.

There are some rules that form regular shapes, but still expand forever when given a large room, Like certain Generations rules. You could make the script use a torus universe with those rules, wait until stabilization, and then count them as normal. This would allow more rules to be censused.

Thanks for the multiplier. I do have a head start, though, as I am using MCell's StarWars collection (Using Golly).

I am testing collisions in the Generations rule StarWars, and I want to attempt to make a computer, prefferably Turning. Before I go anywhere further, I was curious about the rule having computers. Thanks!

A smaller version of the "City" is the "Town". x = 7, y = 13, rule = B3/S23 b2ob2o$bo3bo$2b3o2$2b3o$bo3bo$bo3bo$2b3o2$2b3o$bo3bo$b2ob2o! http://www.conwaylife.com/image.aspx?rle=b2ob2o$bo3bo$2b3o2$2b3o$bo3bo$bo3bo$2b3o2$2b3o$bo3bo$b2ob2o The Vine can be equipped with the ossilating part of the Town ...

Crud. Oh well, I guess i'll find something unique soon.

(Or at least, I think the're new.) 1. The "City" A 2nd period ossilator. A pre-traffic light that is surrounded by four houses (You can also make this with almost any other induction coils). x = 13, y = 13, rule = B3/S23 4b2ob2o$4bo3bo$5b3o2$2o3b3o3b2o$obobo3bobobo$2bobo3bobo$obobo3bobobo$ 2o3b3o3b2...

WinLife32 works fine on Vista machines. You need to zoom in/out to display what you've drawn.

I have another suggestion:

Add Pseudo Life to the rules.

It seems I suddenly get an "ImportError: no module named soup_search_exe" error when trying to run the script.
I have ran it sucsessfully before.

Thanks for awnsering my questions. Now I can finally do the Soup Search!

EDIT: I have a few suggestions:

1. Include Diomeba,Balanced Ameoba, and B3468/S03.

2. In the Stats page, include a "Least Common Object Found" section. Not all that useful, but still fun.

It would be a good idea to awnser some of these question in the FAQ.
A quick question: When i look up myself in the Stats page, it says I do not exist. Do I have to wait a while before it records me?

I have sucsessfully activated the Soup Search, but I have another question:

How do you change the rule to work on? Myself, I want to start anlyzing other soups than Life soups.
