Re: apgsearch v3.1

Is there a way to send a partially completed group of soups to catagolue, or to pause and pick up where you left off?

Re: apgsearch v3.1

From the other objects in that snippet, it looks like you're searching D2_+1 symmetry. Every switch engine produced under D2 will have a mirror image over the axis of symmetry, so they're always detected in pairs.

You're right, thanks. I had just gotten confused about how switching symmetries ...

For some reason, linear-growth patterns always seem to come in pairs:

muzik, these posts are so useless they're not even interesting. One time reflectors are very much a time a dozen.

Re: apgsearch v2.2

The user info update is awesome - thanks for adding that!

Is it feasible to extend the current "This user discovered" to more/all objects? I'm particularly interested in newly discovered still-lives, since that's all I've discovered.

Re: apgsearch v2.2

I love the software, it's incredibly simple to use and effective.

I was wondering whether there was any way, via the website, to see an aggregate of the contributions of a single user? I'd like to know what I've personally produced.
