Random rule script

[NoAyeBeardo]

So the purpose of this is to make a Python script that can generate a rule. I've made a (bad) one that requires manual inspecting as duplicates can often happen(also, for some reason it prints up to a certain number:

Code: Select all

#Random rule
#Not Including Hensel notation
#0-8:
import random
basic_notation = ['0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8']
for y in range(1,10):
    B = []
    S = []
    for x in range(0, random.randint(1,8)):
        B.append(basic_notation[random.randint(0,8)]) 
    for x in range(0, random.randint(1,8)):
        S.append(basic_notation[random.randint(0,8)])
    print('B')
    for BItem in range(0, len(B)):
        print(BItem)
    print('S')
    for SItem in range(0, len(S)):
        print(SItem)
    print('==============================')

And I posted this in the Sandbox forum because the Scripts forum says 'For scripts to aid with computation or simulation in cellular automata.' which doesn't fit a random rule generator...

it doesn't do anything when I run it

Something is seriously wrong; this is what I get when I run it (not in Golly):

Code: Select all

B

1

==============================

EDIT: My attempt at fixing it up:

Code: Select all

#Random rule
#Not Including Hensel notation
import golly as g
import random
birth_letters = ("3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8")
survival_letters = ("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8")
rulestr = "B"
for y in range (0, random.randint(1, 6)):
    rulestr += random.choice(birth_letters)
rulestr += "/S"
for y in range (0, random.randint(1, 8)):
    rulestr += random.choice(survival_letters)
g.setrule(rulestr)

Well the thing is that (I didn't mention this) I wanted to do it without the 'import golly as g' thing, as my python doesn't recognise it. However, I did change goldenratio's script to be without Golly commands(and truly random):

Code: Select all

#Random rule
#Not Including Hensel notation
import random
birth_letters = ("0","1","2","3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8")
survival_letters = ("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8")
rulestr = "B"
for y in range (0, random.randint(1, 8)):
    rulestr += random.choice(birth_letters)
rulestr += "/S"
for y in range (0, random.randint(1, 8)):
    rulestr += random.choice(survival_letters)
print(rulestr)

But by the end of this, I want to have a completely random rule generator with Hensel notation and without repeats.

it exits immediately after i run it

It doesn't for me, check if it does this with every program.
