Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
The beta for PatMan (Pattern Manager) can now be viewed and run at https://golhobby.com/patman/.
PatMan lets you organize your pattern collection(s) and run them in LifeViewer. Or it will, as soon as I get it out of beta and make it available to download.
I run it on my home PC (Windows-IIS-localhost) and public-facing on a hosted linux server, so it should run on any web server.
Questions etc. are welcomed.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
I've added jslife and several other collections to my PatMan 1.0. It also has a link you can use to download the app and use it to display your own collections and run them in LifeViewer.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
Patman users should download the most recent LifeViewer JavaScript plug-in. Fixes the black hole bug, https://lazyslug.com/lifeview/plugin/js ... -plugin.js

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
PatMan 1.3 adds support for apgcodes (xs, xp, xq) (https://golhobby.com/patman/).
- You can use an apgcode instead of an rle in a pattern's txt file
- You can enter an apgcode instead of an rle in the Enter RLE function

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
The Golly Life collection on PatMan now contains the Golly 4.2 patterns.
Phil Bookman
Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
Patman needs RLEs in txt files. When I ported the new Golly Life collection, it occurred to me that others might need a simple way to change all the rle extensions in a folder and its subs to txt, so here's the Windows bat file I use:
Just save this as a bat file in the desired folder, double-click on it, and poof!
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
PUSHD .
FOR /R %%d IN (.) DO (
cd "%%d"
IF EXIST *.rle (
REN *.rle *.txt
)
)
POPD

I assume you mean the list box overlapping the viewer. Fixed, thanks for reporting.

Please remove unnecessary folder
Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
Aha! Don't know how that got there, but I just removed it. So you actually found two bugs. Thanks.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
The purpose of the collection is to have at least one example for each n. I will gladly add these and others anyone contributes.

What's new:
- Alan Hensel Collection: lifebc and lifep
- Support for Life 1.05 and 1.06 (the heavy lifting is thanks to the LifeViewer js plugin); just change the file extension from .lif to .txt, as with all PatMan collections

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
I don't seem to be able to access any patterns manually on iOS? The random pattern works fine in each collection, but going to individual patterns via drop-down menus just doesn't do anything.
Also, it might be worth updating build 898 to build 945: styles/prosilver/template/lv-plugin.js

Seems to all work fine on my iphone in chrome and safari. So I'm puzzled.muzik wrote: ↑March 10th, 2023, 9:13 amI don't seem to be able to access any patterns manually on iOS?

I will update the plugin.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
When tapping on one of the links to the side, an empty "dropdown container" is displayed. When tapping on that, it disappears presumably as if I had clicked the link again, but the dropdown list appears. Does this happen on your end? If not, this might be related.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
Nope. So let me do exactly what you're doing. Which browser are you using? I am on ios 16.3.1 on an iphone. Just updated the plugin on my website. All is working fine.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
iPad Air 4th generation running 16.3.1. I don't really have any browsers other than Safari.

Re: Thread for PatMan (Pattern Manager)
So...same browser. Same iOS. I don't have an iPad to test with (darn). What the heck could be different?
Have you used PatMan on the iPad before successfully? I'm grasping at straws,
