Pattern viewer for forum threads

[rowett]

Is it intended that when a lifeviewer window is moved and then closed, and a new one is opened, it appears in the old viewer's spot?

Yes.

There are also script errors on this page and patterns seem to be tracked along the wrong direction: https://lazyslug.com/lifeview/plugin/trackbox.html

It's an old test case that I haven't updated yet and the failures are false positives.

And this doesn't seem to have a settings button

LifeViewer will scale the window to fit the display keeping the aspect ratio. If the scaled height becomes too small then the settings menu is disabled.

A couple things:

- For lifeviewer thumbnails which expand/create a popup when clicked on, is there currently or can there be added a way to format the thumbnail independently of the opened viewer?

- Can an option be added that rounds off the corners of cells instead of having them be perfectly square shaped?


The reason I'm asking these is so that lifeviewer thumbnails in Catagolue can be made to more closely match their still image counterparts when in thumbnail mode: https://catagolue.appspot.com/census/b3s23/C1/xs56

while changing to the conventional catagolue theme when clicked on and in popup mode.

No.

No, but icon support is coming.

Another huge load of rule aliases in a merge request, so these can be added to the ever-growing list. https://gitlab.com/apgoucher/catagolue/ ... s/35/diffs

Also, 4life2 appears to be identical to quadraticlife, so it can be added as an alternative alias.

This rule alias has also been around for a good while but I feel extremely hesitant about requesting it be added for hopefully obvious reasons.

Could native support for the 3-state range-1 outer-totalistic rulespace be added sometime in the future? It seems like a pretty promising and expansive rulespace and I'm surprised nobody has really looked at it that much yet.

Here's some ideas for Blues-theme state colours if so:

(Both states would also only have 32 longevity states instead of 64 to save space)

A daft rendering bug with LifeHistory which allows for completely invisible cells:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 7, rule = 23/3History
4.D.H$2.BCFEKI$.AC2F3KJ$A2CHIN.NK$.ACFAH.2NL$2.3A3.M$3.A!

I want to take the time to thank you for everything you've done for lifeviewer over the past year and a bit. I feel as if I've just been incessantly complaining about it for the past year or so and haven't been at all thankful enough for what you've added and fixed in that time, as well as simply the existence of this completely revolutionary tool that's allowed the CA community to easily communicate and display some of the most weird and wonderful ideas for coming up on half a decade. The community wouldn't be nearly the same as it is currently without your help.

A daft rendering bug with LifeHistory which allows for completely invisible cells

This is probably my favourite bug recently. Thanks for reporting!

I want to take the time to thank you for everything you've done for lifeviewer over the past year and a bit.

Thank you too for your hard work to make LifeViewer better. Much appreciated!

[muzik]

Also on that example above, it's possible to change the theme, despite the fact that it uses the default golly palette and patterns which cause this usually completely bar theme changing.

(Why can't the default golly palette be selected as a theme anyway? It's the theme I'd prefer to use on most types of multistate rule, and the ability to select it on lifeviewer applets running them would be considerably more convenient than having to manually edit the rule file over on LifeWiki or quote the post and specify all 255 colours in the code box.)

[muzik]

This behaviour has been bugging me recently - it seems as though initially defining a theme and then specifying colours does not result in the specified colours overwriting the theme:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 22, rule = LifeHistory:P128,128
10.D$2A5.2A.2D$2A5.2A2.2D$11.D$4.2A4.D$4.2A5$22.2A.2A$21.A5.A$21.A6.A
2.2A$21.3A3.A3.2A$26.A4$20.2A$20.A$21.3A$23.A!
[[ THEME Day COLOR ALIVE 255 255 0 ]]

I'd expect the pattern would run with the specified theme, but then with the subsequent modifications on top. Otherwise you need to manually specify each colour from the theme to be modified beforehand, which gets somewhat irritating,

It seems that using the cell picker on border blocks returns an alive cell, despite those not being alive cells. Should probably give an error instead stating that border cells cannot be used for drawing.

Will the green and red select and paste boxes have customisable colours?

Also, in the T menu, the full value of the "generation" should also be listed alongside the absolute generation, since otherwise the number becomes truncated and you can't find its exact value. Run in reverse:

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Gen=-99990
x = 4, y = 4, rule = M0,3,10,2,5,1,6,7,12,9,8,11,4,13,14,15
$2bo$2bo$3o$3bo!

Finally, can buttons of some sort be added to the editor which shift a pattern by 1 cell in a given direction, in order to fix and correctly run triangular or Margolus patterns which may be being read in the incorrect way and as such not being played properly?

[muzik]

Seems like the slope parameter seems to be rounding to an integer instead of outputting a fraction for non-integer slopes. This is 20,8 and so should output slope 5/2:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 14, rule = B2k3acijr4ijkqy6cn/S2aek3-acek4eity5acn6an7e8
4o$o2bo$bobo$b2o6$6b2o$6bo2bo$10bo$10bo$8b3o!

[muzik]

Build 494 seems to be working brilliantly (crazy to think we were on build 276 just a year ago). However, opening the select menu on the formerly-invisible lifehistory pattern shows a 2-state random fill button behind the density slider, which probably shouldn't be there.

I've put up one more merge request up containing numerous isotropic aliases, and also calculated the following 2-state non-isotropic rulestrings:

Code: Select all

Simple Weird Ships: ABHs/wMA//8AAP//AAD//wAA/38AAP//AAD//wAA//8AAP//gAD//wAA//8AAP//AAD//wAA//8AAP//AAD//w

MuzikThing: ACD//wAA3/8AgH//AAD//wCAf/8AAP//AAD//wAA//8AAH//AAD//wAA//8AAP//gAD//wAA//8AAP//AAD//w

Together these should cover a good 99% of all named rules and 2-state ruletables which have been posted on the forums thus far.

For diagonal spaceships whose speeds can be simplified down, it shows the slope as 1/1 instead of 1:

Code: Select all

And the speed for this doesn't seem to be simplified at all:

EDIT: In build 495, the maze2 alias seems to be misspelled.

[rowett]

Build 495 is now live on the Forums and LifeWiki

Please note: you will need to refresh your browser to use the new build (Ctrl-F5 on Chrome)

Enhancements since the last released build:

• PCA colours can be set with [[ COLOR 0..15 R G B|name ]] or [[ COLOR 0..15 N*E*S*W* R G B|name ]]
• [[ COLOR BOUNDED R G B|name ]] sets custom bounded grid border colour
• [[ COLOR SELECT R G B|name ]] sets custom selection colour
• [[ COLOR PASTE R G B|name ]] sets custom paste colour
• [[ COLOR ADVANCE R G B|name ]] sets custom advance selection colour
• faster High Quality rendering if none of Stars, Snow or Gridlines are displayed
• hide Help section buttons that don't fit
• use grab pointer for scrolling Help
• added some movement displacements to Identify
• Fit Zoom now works on hex grid
• [[ RANDCHANCE FIXED ]] keeps the rule constant when generating random patterns
• added many more aliases

Fixes since the last released build:

• Pick on the bounded grid border now always sets Dead cell for drawing
• Identify was not correctly identifying B0 or Alternating rule still lives
• fix Identify for 2-state RuleTable rules
• hide Mod, Slope and Direction for Identify on non-square grid since it's not supported
• fix simplified Speeds and Slope for Identify
• handle non-integer Slopes
• fix get/set state for 2-state RuleTable rules
• fix null with reverse alias lookup
• resolve Alternate rule aliases from rule
• ensure smooth UI icons with High Quality rendering
• fixed notification size on scaled window
• don't eat commas when parsing script commands
• reset died generation when new cells are drawn
• handle selection in infinite dimension bounded grid
• fixed a crash while drawing Population Graph due to no data after pattern died
• fix colours for [R]History patterns containing illegal states
• fix UI button overlap

The updated hotkey map detailing the LifeViewer keyboard controls is here.

Comments, feedback, suggestions and bug reports welcome!

Fantastic and thanks for your continued work.

The non-isotropic alises above don't seem to be added yet though, so can they be added?

I'm currently in the process of making the UI palettes for each theme, and on the way decided to create a much more accurate version of the default MCell multistate theme:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 2, rule = 2/2/33
2A$A!
[[ COLOR 0 0 0 0 COLOR 1 255 255 0 COLOR 2 255 219 0 COLOR 3 255 183 0 COLOR 4 255 147 0 COLOR 5 255 111 0 COLOR 6 255 75 0 COLOR 7 255 39 0 COLOR 8 255 0 0 COLOR 9 240 0 0 COLOR 10 225 0 0 COLOR 11 210 0 0 COLOR 12 195 0 0 COLOR 13 180 0 0 COLOR 14 165 0 0 COLOR 15 150 0 0 COLOR 16 128 0 0 COLOR 17 123 0 0 COLOR 18 118 0 0 COLOR 19 113 0 0 COLOR 20 108 0 0 COLOR 21 103 0 0 COLOR 22 98 0 0 COLOR 23 93 0 0 COLOR 24 81 0 0 COLOR 25 71 31 0 COLOR 26 61 62 0 COLOR 27 51 93 0 COLOR 28 41 124 0 COLOR 29 31 155 0 COLOR 30 21 186 0 COLOR 31 11 217 0 COLOR 32 0 255 0 COLOR DEAD 0 0 0 COLOR DEADRAMP 0 0 0 COLOR GRID 64 0 0 COLOR GRIDMAJOR 99 3 1 GRIDMAJOR 5 ]]

The colours for each state stay fixed regardless of the amount of states specified in the rule, instead of scaling like with golly/lifeviewer. For states 32 and up, the colours loop, so 33 looks identical to 1, 34 to 2, 35 3, and so on and it loops again.

Also, an accurate Java Square Cell theme for multistate rules:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 2, rule = 2/2/25
2A$A!

Also auto fit doesn't count dying cells either, and historyfit does count them but also counts cells that are completely dead, so could some autofit option that fits in the middle and only excludes 100% dead cells be added?

Can an in-viewer button of sorts be added for closing the identify table? It seems the only way to get rid of it is to rewind the pattern or close the viewer entirely.

I'm almost done with making the themes.

Can the ability to view square grid patterns on a hexagonal grid be readded? Otherwise we'll be stuck with running hex ruletables on a square grid like this:

I've set the mark colours for the Inverse theme to those specific colours as the Inverse theme is the theme used on LifeWiki. As it uses green to highlight certain things sometimes, I figured it would make sense for these cell states to also be green so that highlighted objects can be represented in the wiki without having to specify custom lifehistory colours.

Identify doesn't seem to count dying states when calculating the pattern's bounding box

True, this is on the backlog.

Can an in-viewer button of sorts be added for closing the identify table?

Yes, done.

Can the ability to view square grid patterns on a hexagonal grid be readded?

No since that's not the issue.

The issue is that @TREE patterns don't have any way of specifying hex neighbourhood, unlike @TABLE which supports it. Since the recommendation (for performance) has been to add @TREE sections to @TABLE rules we've lost the hex specification.

So now LifeViewer will search for the @TABLE-style neighborhood:hexagonal even when decoding an @TREE rule. If the @TABLE is already in the rule then there's nothing to add. If not then it's just a matter of adding it in the @RULE section as I've just done for the HexBuss rule.

Another identify bug: oblique speeds that can be simplified are not simplified.

Fixed, thanks!

Hexagon ruletables seem to be working perfectly!

A few more things:

- Hexagons should probably be squished downwards slightly. They're not completely regular, which can be seen if you rotate one:





- When all cells die on this strobing rule, it stops strobing, is this intentional?

- While doing a bit of investigation I realised that BSFKL rules are actually a subset of the 3-state outer-totalistic rulespace. So it might be a better idea to add native support for the latter first, and then the viewer would be able to intake a BSFKL rulestring and the algorithm would already be there and ready for use.

- Can a slider be added to the settings menu to "skew" the grid? This could end up becoming handy for some ruletables which use multiple states on a square grid plus icons to simulate triangular grids.

Hexagons should probably be squished downwards slightly. They're not completely regular

True but they need to be like that for various reasons.

When all cells die on this strobing rule, it stops strobing, is this intentional?

a) I don't like strobing and b) Yes it's intentional - all patterns stop when all cells die.

Triangular patterns do not always completely fit on first load

I'll take a look - thanks for spotting it.

- Can a slider be added to the settings menu to "skew" the grid?

Please give an example of what this would do to the grid.

The normal grid, which looks like this...

And I though that was just my new glasses.

I'm sure my artistic abilities will improve with time, don't worry about it!

Speaking of things that make you do a double take, it seems there were a few outer totalistic aliases remaining in the early Thread For Your Unrecognized CA thread, so I've committed those (also, Christmas Life is an alternate alias for B1S012345678).

Are there any changes I should make to the suggested UI themes?

----

Random thought: a script command that makes any cell that existed when the pattern was loaded appear completely aged, instead of newly born (for example, for blues theme, cells would appear white instead of cyan, but subsequently born cells would still be cyan)

[muzik]

Is this meant to be reported as a still life?

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B0/S
o!

[rowett]

Is this meant to be reported as a still life?

Yes. For B0 and also Alternating rules only every other generation is processed.

[muzik]

Also, this still seems to be reported as slope 1:

Code: Select all

x = 44, y = 48, rule = plife
