So what's with 225 and 227?

So the second prime printer calculates all primes up to 223?

I can simulate only Life and no other rules! The megapattern simulates Life, no matter what rule I will set Golly.

Another problem! When I made a metapattern simulating the rule Just Friends, it behaved differently than the original.

Oh, it works!!!!!!

It still shows the same error!

When I save the megacell files in the Scripts folder, it doesn't work.

And is it possible to make it print primes starting from 2?

When I try to run the script, it shows:
Can't find prebuilt megapixel ON cell.
Where should I place the megacell files?

Sorry, I just wasn't waiting long enough!

But is there a rule that simulated in Golly will get infinite population?

The printer does not print out primes! The squares don't change!

Thanks. I did add a fifth digit, too

And here's another one of my giant surprise projects, this time involving p46 technology: x = 1142, y = 842, rule = B3/S23 294b2o$294b2o40$328b2o$328b2o4$328b2o$328b2o16$2o$2o349b2o$351b2o31$ 308bo$308b3o$311bo$310b2o3$287bo2bo$277b3o7bo$276bo4bo9bo$275bo5bo8b2o $266bo9bo8bo$264b3o10b2o8b2o$263bo$2...

Is it possible to make a rule whose population after one generation is infinite?

The first metapattern that I have saved in Golly and build by hand was the pentadecathlon, and the first metapattern build by the script was probably the pentadecathlon, too.

Hi @gameoflifemaniac: you can do it yourself, you just have to copy simeks's code into the assembly.py script then run it with golly @blah: installing python is not difficult at all, you just have to download an installer and click... I am not with my computer these days so you can do it yourself I...

But can you post the same computer but programmed to display the sequence of prime numbers?

Right now I'm trying to wrap my head around composing in the 5/4 time signature. I've written a song in the 7/4 time signature. 'song'. It was a birthday gift for my friendo a little while ago. Sort of related, I made this song a few years ago that starts off in an odd time signature, I'm not sure ...

But I have NO idea how it happened!

OMG OMG OMG OMG it works! Thanks!

But... could someone post a Calcyman metapattern on this forum?

You're wrong. Calcyman posted a decimal counter, and in the 'Very Large Patterns' there's a hexadecimal counter, so there's no way that those are the same counters.

Could someone write a script finding periods of pseudorandom glider guns?

I did install Python and both Golly and Python are 32-bit, but it gives me an error:
The Python library does not have this symbol:
Py_InitModule4
