Shinjuku[note 1] is a database of glider syntheses started by Jeremy Tan on April 10, 2019, as well as a collection of related Python scripts that utilizes lifelib. It uses a custom format to encode each step of an incremental synthesis, containing the starting apgcode, the locations of the gliders, and the apgcode of the resulting object. It was quickly integrated into Catagolue. It mainly focuses on documenting the single synthesis of each object that takes the smallest number of gliders, although it is capable of storing alternate syntheses.[1][2]
transfer.py
transfer.py is a 'transfer learning' utility script for extracting partial synthesis components from existing syntheses and applying them to other syntheses, included in Shinjuku since April 2019.[3]
The script works only for still lifes, and does not recognize the application of components to oscillating patterns.[4]
Notes
- ↑ Named after Shinjuku Station, a train station in Tokyo and the busiest in the world.
