Is there a way I can say, upload a pattern and Catagolue will tell me whether or not said pattern is already in the Catagolue database?

Sure -- or pretty close, anyway. Select a pattern in Golly and run biggiemac's script.

Try some random object like this

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 14, rule = B3/S23
9b2o$6bo3bo$6b4o2$4b4o$3bo3bo$3b2o$5bo$5bo$ob2obob2o$2obobob2o$3bobo$
3bobo$4bo!

and you'll find that it takes you to a page with a valid apgcode, xs35_woo0u1ug8ozxogjkczca226.

But if there are no soups listed for that object, and no synthesis, then usually that pretty much counts as "not in the Catagolue database".

(There are some cases where complete lists of, say, N-bit objects have been uploaded to Catagolue whether or not they've been seen in soups or synthesized, but those are the exception not the rule.)

EDIT: there is even no entry for b3s23/C1 or G1 in the Recently updated section

GUYTU6J, in a PM, wrote:I found another oddity: you can try compiling apgluxe.exe with b3s23/C1, and then run it. Normally there should be a peer-reviewing process before the search begins, but now I get "no more hauls to verify" even though there are a large quantity to be verified.

Is something wrong with Catagolue at the moment?

I've pushed a fix, so everything should iron itself out without any loss of data.

Looks, like it's been fixed. Apparently, this was the issue:

How does the Twitter thing work? I want to keep track of certain censuses like, umm, b2n3s23-q/C1 by sending me an email every time a new object was found.

Some code that crawls catagolue and prints out every new object to the console.

Using a known-objects variable is definitely no good - one of the main part is to store the census to a file and use it the next time.

Plus, why do you have to use the regular fancy census page? The text census is much more suitable here.

Are there any examples of rare patterns that have emerged out of a symmetric mesh that has emerged out of an asymmetric soup besides cloverleaf interchange?

Where can I submit names for rules? I encountered a rule (b2ei3-acjn4ceijkr5-ejry6-ck7c8s1c2cen3-iqr4aqwz5-inr6-ae78) while browsing a major OCA thread and wanted to submit the name "Red Alert" for the rule (source). I am already apgsearching this rule.

I'd still consider it natural, since symmetry wouldn't help with the formation of an asymmetrical object.

Unfortunately we do not have a SHA-256 hash for the one-bit-modified C1 soup that produces it, so it cannot be counted as natural.

why is this the definition of "natural"
