In @TABLE in a .rule file, if I name a variable "var", and use it at the start of a transition line, it doesn't behave as expected.
For example, this rule should be B2/S012345678:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = test
!
@RULE test
@TABLE
n_states:2
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute
var var={0,1}
var,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1

But it behaves like B/S012345678 instead.
Simply renaming the variable to something else fixes this:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = test
!
@RULE test
@TABLE
n_states:2
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute
var a={0,1}
a,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1

I think it's because Golly treats any line in @TABLE that starts with "var" as a variable definition line. I don't know why anyone would name a variable "var", but I think it should still be fixed.

Please post an example pattern that crashes.
