A Mac, and Google Chrome.

Copying RLE to clipboard doesn't seem to work in LifeViewer anymore. (it says it copied, but when I paste the clipboard it's still the same as before.) It seems to have been a problem for several days now (as A for awesome brought it up on Discord) but apparently nobody's reporting it until now.

Breaking my inactivity for a bit to post this 1-glider cleanup (for syntheses) script: import golly as g
import math

min_interact = 4
max_interact = 120
neglider = ["b2o$obo$2bo!", "2o$b2o$o!", "3o$2bo$bo!", "bo$b2o$obo!"]
nwglider = ["3o$o$bo!", "bo$2o$obo!", "2o$obo$o!", "b2o$2o$2bo!"]

The main problem, I feel, is not that newcomers are coming here but not knowing what to do; it's that most don't even find this site and the ones that do, after several other sites and then post here the useless or known patterns they made on the other sites - a problem which would likely go away if ...

Interesting! How was it found? Does anyone see a way to support it with a single glider stream to get a reflector or pass-through mechanism?

I was actually searching for dependent reflectors: import golly as g
import random

layerindex = g.getlayer()
g.new("")
corereaction = g.parse("10b2o$10bo ...

Would anyone mind writing a script that enumerates every collision of 2 of a given ship?

Here you go! Note that this only works on diagonal ships. (I'm making one for orthogonal ships.) Before using, make a layer with the ship you want to collide traveling southwest. import golly as g ...

EDIT (2022): No one needs this in its current form, so it's been removed. If I end up fixing/optimizing it, I'll post it again somewhere else.

I'm sorry, but no, we have basically enumerated all 3-glider collisions and we can be 99.99% confident that there is no 3G ship tie.

This isn't working for me. It's showing two noninteracting Life universes, one red, one orange, and if both are on, it's yellow. The first one is your regular P8 figure eight, and the second one becomes 12 red blinkers and 1 orange blinker.

That's because LifeViewer gets its rule tables from the ...

I don't know where to look to find this rumored easy checkbox to keep Sandbox posts from incrementing the post count.

That deals collateral damage to non-post-farming stuff in the sandbox.

I don't think you really get the point of the proposed change. The purpose of this would be to eliminate the post-farming posts (which likely make up most of the posts in there at this point), while keeping the other ...

A spin-off from the "Sandboxification" thread.

I brought this up in that thread but I don't think anyone noticed, so I would like to get a consensus. A lot of the activity in the Sandbox is probably post-farming just to increase post counts. (I don't want to point fingers but I'm looking at one ...
