In LifeViewer it evolves exactly as I wanted, but it still doesn't evolve correctly in Golly.confocaloid wrote: January 14th, 2025, 12:08 pm I tested the following pattern in Golly 4.3 and in LifeViewer build 1226. It appears to work the same way in both cases. In particular generation 100 shows population 476 and bounding box 27-by-112. Is that as expected, or it is supposed to evolve differently?

I think this isn't an error. To replace the existing copy of a .rule file, you can simply copy the new version into clipboard and do Ctrl+Shift+O ("Open Clipboard"). It should ask for confirmation before overwriting the existing file.
Golly 4.3.

Sorry for wasting your time...Thank you.confocaloid wrote: January 15th, 2025, 1:49 pm That feature could be more visible than it is, but then probably some other feature would become less visible/less discoverable.
Some features can be found by looking through the supplied documentation, or looking through the menu items, or looking through the "File -> Preferences" dialog (and asking on the forums or reading an earlier discussion).
Yep, I see the same issue on my Mac. It looks like a regression due to building Golly with a newer version of wxWidgets, so I'll try to fix it for the next release (probably much later this year).fluffykitty wrote: December 24th, 2024, 10:12 pm In Golly 4.3 icons in the state selector are off-center, and the icons in the file selector are different (and IMO worse).

Yep, I can reproduce the problem on my Windows system (doesn't happen on macOS or Linux).
