• Generations rules now have brightness shading when using layers
• performance improvement for THEMEs without history
• added another alias
• START indicator now toggles AUTOSTART if defined
  • hotkey Alt+"O" to toggle
  • if START disabled when LOOP defined then playback stops when Loop happens at T=0
• STOP indicator now toggles STOP if defined
  • hotkey Alt+"P" to toggle

• toggle LOOP when defined (hotkey Shift "P") wasn't working
• take screenshot (hotkey "O") was not working

• improved Settings menu
  • settings are now grouped into topics
  • new Rule button that prompts for a new rule
• clicking on a Theme that is already active just closes Theme selection
• reduced memory used by rules

No it's correct. Marked states only appear in the bottom layer.

True, layers are only currently supported on square and offset square grids.

What is the inconsistency?

muzik wrote:From what I can see, on 2-state rules, the history cells only appear in the very back, whereas with generations they're duplicated across all other layers as with live cells.

muzik wrote:Randomizer 2 seems to be missing a W in the aliases screen though, so that should probably be fixed. And the 1D aliases in general are not alphabetically sorted.

muzik wrote:Random thought: is there/will there be an option to change the colour of help text and the like through scripting?

• disable drawing, selecting and panning while Settings displayed

• fixed a graphical glitch for THEMEs with no history at STEP > 1
• corrected and ordered Wolfram aliases

muzik wrote:Can it also darken the pattern slightly like the Help menu does?

• dim screen when Settings menu displayed

• ensure window appears above other page elements

• performance improvement for editing tasks for 2-state Life-like and [R]History patterns

• fixed an issue where rotate selection could be incorrect when grid grew

• added experimental support for 2-state Margolus rules
  • rule format is Mn0,n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7,n8,n9,n10,n11,n12,n13,n14,n15
    • where n0 to n15 are integers from 0 to 15
  • also supports MS,Dn0;n1;n2;n3;n4;n5;n6;n7;n8;n9;n10;n11;n12;n13;n14;n15 format
  • bounded grids and alternate rules are allowed
  • rules where n0 = 15 and n15 = 0 are replaced with equivalent rules that don't strobe
  • rules where n0 > 0 are not allowed apart from the case above
• using [[ GRIDMAJOR ]] creates a custom Theme
