Instructions :
How to use it
A. Run directly to test Golly
Save this as golly_health_check.lua inside your Golly Scripts folder.
In Golly, go to File → Run Script → golly_health_check.lua.
You’ll see results in the status bar and a log entry in
{Golly Scripts Folder}/golly_health_log.txt
B. Import it into another Lua script
At the top of your main script:
local health = dofile(g.getdir("scripts") .. "golly_health_check.lua")
if not health.ok then
g.warn("Golly API failed: " .. health.message)
g.exit("Cannot continue.")
end
That gives you silent validation every time your script starts — no clutter, just robust startup assurance.
How it works
Uses g.puttext() to overlay readable status data directly into Golly’s grid window.
Refreshes every 0.8 seconds by default (change refresh_ms).
Pulls:
Golly version, rule, pattern, generation, zoom
Layer number
Viewport position
Health status from your earlier golly_health_check.lua
Displays a live timestamp for confirmation.
How to run
Save it as golly_diagnostics_dashboard.lua in your Scripts folder.
Run from Golly:
File → Run Script → golly_diagnostics_dashboard.lua
You’ll see a bright text overlay in the viewport with live system info.
Stop it at any time with Esc or Ctrl + .
How to use
Save as golly_diagnostics_dashboard_dual.lua in your Golly Scripts folder.
Run it while any simulation is active.
The script will:
Create (or reuse) a new layer named “Diagnostics”.
Continuously update it with version, rule, gen, zoom, etc.
Automatically switch back to your main simulation layer each refresh cycle — so your pattern keeps evolving.
Stop at any time with Esc or Ctrl +.
Notes & Options
You can increase refresh_ms (e.g., to 3000) if you prefer slower updates.
You can change text_color to "white", "yellow", "green", etc.
To display additional metrics (e.g., pattern cell count, bounding box), add:
table.insert(info, "Cells: " .. g.getpop())
table.insert(info, "Bounding Box: " .. table.concat({g.getrect()}, ", "))
inside the collect_info() function.
Perfect — now you’re getting the power-user version
This version of the Golly Diagnostics Dashboard (Dual-Layer Pro Edition) adds:
Live pattern stats — total cells (getpop()) and bounding box (getrect())
Auto-pause/resume toggle — you can press P to pause/resume dashboard updates without interrupting the main simulation
Clean layer handling and safe exit
Golly Diagnostics Dashboard — Dual-Layer Pro Edition
How to use
Save as golly_diagnostics_dashboard_pro.lua in your Scripts folder.
Run it while any simulation is active.
Use keys:
P → Pause/resume dashboard updates (main sim continues running).
Esc → Stop dashboard completely and return to main layer.
What it tracks (live)
Metric Description
Version / Rule Current Golly engine + active rule
Pattern / Generation Active pattern name + generation count
Population Number of live cells
Bounding Box x, y, width, height of current pattern
Layer / Zoom / Viewport Rendering & camera details
API Health Status from your health check module
Pause Status “
No” or “
Yes”
Updated Local timestamp of last refresh
now I am getting "data export mode"...

Usage Guide
Save as golly_diagnostics_dashboard_telemetry.lua
(same folder as your golly_health_check.lua).
Run from Golly > Scripts > Run Script.
Controls:
P = Pause/resume dashboard updates
Esc = Stop dashboard completely
If enable_export = true, you’ll get a file:
golly_telemetry_log.csv
in your working directory — appending a new line every 5 seconds by default.

Golly Diagnostics Dashboard — Dual-Layer Pro Edition

How it works
No” or “
Yes”
CSV Output Example
Stable population
Surge detected (1.9x increase)
One-liner to find unprefixed math calls
Color Heatmap Visualization
Example Output
Rule-Aware Heuristics — Use rule classification to optimize what’s considered a “spaceship.”
Genetic Search Hooks — Optionally mutate existing patterns and watch for new motion classes.
Heatmap Strip Chart — Gradient bar showing stability vs volatility across time (like EEG output).
Pattern Thumbnails — export small .png previews next to .rle.
Pattern “Fingerprinting” — automatically group similar oscillators or spaceships.
Search Index Export — JSON index for external analysis (Python / web viewer).
