Re: Thread for your script-related questions
when using synthesise-patt.py inside golly, how do I show all results and not only one? The version of synthesise-patt.py from here seems to work fine for me. I tested it on the R-pentomino and got 267 results. The pattern was zoomed in on the first synthesis, but I could simply zoom out to see the...

Re: Spaceship Discussion Thread
It's a bit disappointing that it is so large and slow. Having to pull those loafs out from the fuse wastes space and especially time. Cleaning up the debris would make it even larger. I was hoping to beat the old adjustable puffer with its 4508 period, but this doesn't do it. At least it gives a ne...

Re: Spaceship Discussion Thread
I think this is the basis of a simple variable period diagonal c/4 puffer. This is essentially the basis for your original p4508+32N rake (version in link is period 6108). I'm wondering if there is a way to perform the reignition much faster than p4508. Much of the time in the original is taken by ...

Re: What it is like to be a hassler?
I recently requested that the capped p37 gun be added to the honey farm hasslers wiki page, but I now see that it, like the old p6 honey farm "hassler", is actually a mutual stabilizer. It seemed like we came to the conclusion a while back that such things aren't "true" hasslers. In the p37 case I c...

If the aim is to show the same set of oscillators to LifeWiki readers without need to install Golly, then a dedicated page may work.
