Pause state persists after drawing

Post by Gamedziner » June 21st, 2019, 5:53 pm

If your cursor is not moving when you release the left click button, the viewer will remain paused until you move your cursor or press a button on your keyboard (scrolling does not have an effect).

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory

This was fixed in Build 350. Thanks for reporting!

It still occurs. (I am using the Microsoft Edge browser, if that helps with debugging)

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory

Please confirm which build you are using (click Help at the top right of the LifeViewer window).

Build 352. The pause state ends if you move the cursor even one pixel.

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory

I can't reproduce it (even on Microsoft Edge). Here is what I've tried:
  1. Open a pattern in LifeViewer
  2. Go into Draw mode (by clicking on the Pencil icon)
  3. Starting playback (by clicking on the Play icon)
  4. Holding down the left mouse button and dragging over the grid (pauses playback and draws a line of cells)
  5. Releasing the left mouse button (playback resumes)
Are you saying that for you the final step isn't working?

I managed to duplicate the same bug in Chrome on my Android phone, version 352. Pressing play and then drawing with my finger, the evolution of the pattern would sometimes resume when I lifted my finger off the screen and sometimes wouldn't. Obviously it's harder to tell where the "cursor" is and how it's moving.

I'm using a trackpad rather than a mouse. Could that have anything to do with this?

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory

Hopefully this is now fixed in build 353. I tested it on Microsoft Edge on Windows and Chrome on Android. Please let me know if it works for you.
