Did the appearance of contribution pie charts just change?

Not for me, it didn't.

What are the maximum computational budget for the pattern identification tool? The first 80c/1290d, with minpop 34 and maxpop 3507, fails to repeat, but is recognized by the apgcode tool. The second 80c/1290d, with minpop 31 and maxpop 280, works fine.

Code: Select all

x = 69, y = 69, rule = B3-eknr4aejqtwz5a6k7e/S2aen3-anqy4aiknwyz5-cj6cek7e8

Is there any way to find or generate a list of objects which have occurred naturally in C1 and/or G1 for which Catagolue does not have any syntheses?

A script with a web scraper will do it, but just be aware that it will use server resources.

A script with a web scraper will do it, but just be aware that it will use server resources.

If someone decides to make this I'd highly recommend just downloading the C1 textcensus and Shinjuku and write some code to interpret and compare the data. It'd be much faster and less resource intensive than a web scraper.

Am I correct is assuming that there's no API to Catagolue hidden away? I would like to get the Glider Constructions for a large batch of objects, and right now it looks like I need to call up each one's page using the HTTP call: "http://catagolue.appspot.com/object/<apg>/b3s23" and then parse the RLE out of the response HTML. Just one -time requests as I'm updating my constructions database and making sure it's all up-to-date.

Yes, you need to request through an URL, but you don't need to get to the object page. Instead, you can obtain the syntheses URLs in the following format:
https://catagolue.hatsya.com/textsample ... /synthesis

It does not contain HTML (it's just plaintext), so you can directly obtain the synthesis RLE from that page.

Doesn't seem to work:

https://catagolue.hatsya.com/xs12_312312ko/synthesis
https://catagolue.hatsya.com/object/xs1 ... /synthesis

not found. What exactly is "textsample ... " represent? An actual working URL would be helpful as a starting point.

It's cut off by phpBB, it works as a template if you go to the link, yielding:

All of the syntheses are in https://gitlab.com/parclytaxel/Shinjuku so you can clone that repository instead. It actually gives you more information, because multiple alternative syntheses can exist in Shinjuku, whereas Catagolue only displays the lowest-cost synthesis for an object.

If I understand correctly, there will be around 14 or 16 further similar updates, and recent/current submissions may be fully processed later than usual.

Based on forum posts, I edited Tutorials/Glider syntheses#Submitting_syntheses_to_Catagolue to add a note about the number of steps in incremental syntheses shown on Catagolue -- did I get that right?

I think what you wrote is correct, according to this post from calcyman today. I haven't definitely seen that functionality in action yet. It would be easy to test it, for example by posting a two-stage version of this still life

and then another time posting a cost improvement for the same still life. (This is a stage in the construction of a now-outdated larger spacefiller seed constellation.)

It sounds like now isn't really a good time to do any testing, though -- we can afford to wait until the readsynth queue is less overloaded.
