Bump for a different bug: Oops, I (years ago) forgot to cleanup some code while porting to Python 3. In Line 270 of `giffer.py`, change `bchr(chr(i))` to `bchr(i)` and I think all should be good. Let me know if that doesn't fix it. Thank you for the report! Edit: I've updated the original script fo...

Can anyone find a good way to look at negative bignum locations? Just adding minus signs to the above setpos() statement should theoretically work fine, but with numbers bigger than -1000000000 or so it goes to the wrong place (and for big enough numbers it ends up at positive coordinates instead o...

Could anyone on Windows who runs this script please try the following. 1. Locate the golly executable (golly.exe). 2. Increase the stack size as follows: editbin /stack:8000000 Golly.exe 3. Test again. I think I have the syntax right, but I don't have a Windows environment to try it out. I did this...

Oscillizer thinks this works: (it's Karel's p177, but any other pattern does the same). You can see two separate issues here. Could you elaborate? I see one issue (defaulting to B3/S23 when rule parsing fails) Ignoring B0 entirely and allowing transitions that don't exist (with no effect) are two s...

Oscillizer thinks this works: (it's Karel's p177, but any other pattern does the same). You can see two separate issues here. Could you elaborate? I see one issue (defaulting to B3/S23 when rule parsing fails) Also, the color codes? That is in the issues that I plan to fix. Unfortunately for person...

The website has failed to detect period of the following pattern: I've been there once, and it's probably because that pattern is not one of the phases of the oscillator. Maybe you wanted to search for the right pattern instead of the left? x = 66, y = 25, rule = B3-jknr4ity5ijk6i8/S23-a4city6c7c 3...

I'll add one more question that would be helpful to see an answer here:
Is this a p4 phoenix search or a general period-n phoenix search?
I'm curious to know how it's done if it's a period-n search

No offense, but suggestion: I think the JLS hack posts deserve a separate thread (which belongs either in Patterns or Scripts)

May I ask how you profiled your program and made the search CPU bound instead of I/O bound, namely analyzing I/O patterns and stuff? I'm hoping to write a similar program but am not sure where to start regarding profiling. Maybe I'll revisit after writing such program Also have you thought of using ...

Putting aside total aperiodic, certain types of MMM breeder (rake of rakes) sweep the entire plane infinitely with gliders in a periodic manner. In this sense, it answers an even stronger challenge, where each cell's proportion of ON generations must tend to a positive number. (And running an MMM b...

I'm not sure why Oscillizer-Web now does not give the period of subperiodic rotors, such as the sparkers in this p132 that are color-coded red: You mean you're not sure why it doesn't give the table of "subperiod - color" mappings as in this issue ?
