Hmm, people are still getting into arguments about LifeViewer's extraordinarily forgiving parser for RLE headers:

https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=197969#p197969

It still seems like the easiest way to make this silliness go away would be to update LifeViewer to throw an error when a header doesn't meet Golly's minimum standards. I can easily patch up the few forum posts that have patterns with weird headers, and then nobody will have any incentive to make more of them.

Build 1211 fixes this. The header must now contain x=M,y=N (with any amount of whitespace). The rule part is optional and will default to Conway's Life. Headerless RLE is still supported.

Build 1217 is now available on the lazyslug server

Enhancements in this build:

• you can now set the default playback speed
  • the default playback speed is 60 generations per second and displays as 1X in the UI
  • Settings>Playback>Save Speed (hotkey Ctrl-E) makes the default playback speed the current playback speed
    • this will be remembered for the current browser on the current device
    • setting this will also automatically switch on Use Saved
  • Settings>Playback>Use Saved (hotkey Shift-E) allows you to toggle whether to use the saved playback speed or the default playback speed
  • if a pattern contains a script command that sets the speed ([[ GPS ]] or [[ STEP ]]) then this takes priority until Save Speed or Use Saved are used
