It's also true of other [R]History states. It's on the backlog to be fixed. Thanks for reporting!bubblegum wrote: April 6th, 2021, 12:23 am Playing a LifeHistory pattern, drawing in a grey cell and resetting doesn't clear the added cell.
Wait, that wasn't an intended feature? It's convenient to be able to transfer my markings to the initial generation without having to draw them again.rowett wrote: April 6th, 2021, 10:25 am It's also true of other [R]History states. It's on the backlog to be fixed. Thanks for reporting!
No, but I see why it may be useful. I'll consider copy/paste of just annotation states as a feature.wwei47 wrote: April 6th, 2021, 6:27 pm Wait, that wasn't an intended feature? It's convenient to be able to transfer my markings to the initial generation without having to draw them again.
The custom neighborhood is shown in Help->Info->Pattern.muzik wrote: April 10th, 2021, 10:54 am Suggestion: some kind of functionality to view the neighbourhood of a single active cell, to make it easier to understand custom neighbourhoods.
Fixed, thanks.

Done, thanks. Please check I haven't missed anything.muzik wrote: April 14th, 2021, 4:30 pm - For functions that have keyboard shortcuts, could said keyboard shortcuts be stated when the button in question is moused over? Having them available to read this way would be much more convenient than reading the keybind diagram, since trial and error is required in that case and it takes a lot more time.
No since a) it breaks the non-interactivity of greyed out items, which is counter-intuitive and b) it's normally obvious.muzik wrote: April 14th, 2021, 4:30 pm - For greyed-out buttons, could an in-game explanation for why said button is inactive be provided (e.g. generation 0 of a non-reversible rule, hexagons being disabled for non-hexagonal patterns), either when moused over or clicked on?
Added, thanks.muzik wrote: April 17th, 2021, 1:43 pm A quick not-entirely-conclusive check revealed a few options with no keybinds, which either are missing them from the tooltips or these functions don't have any assigned at all, which they maybe could have:
- toggle states display
- toggle pause playback while drawing
- AutoHide UI

Since I don't have an iPad it's almost impossible to debug so it's unlikely these will be answered.
Most (possibly all) of these builds were never released and so won't be online.muzik wrote: April 17th, 2021, 8:00 pm Finally, a list of builds that seem to be missing from the historical versions directory, mainly for personal reference although if there is a way to get these (perhaps through the wayback machine, or by contacting old users who might still have the a particularly old js in their cache?) I would be interested.

Reiterating this, as it seems that the online version of Oscillizer is no longer functional and as such generating some of the values in question is no longer possible with it. This would require adding minrule/maxrule calculation as well as strict volatility to it (apgcode generation, possibly with a Catagolue link built in, would also be a nice addition - here's a golly script that can be used to generate it).muzik wrote: October 19th, 2019, 4:44 pm It'd be pretty awesome if this new feature could go full-on Oscillizer, spitting out all the values that oscillizer can for patterns, and for any rule as well. Of course, that's a pretty ginormous ask, and I doubt it's something we'll be seeing soon. (Would be super useful for filling in the wiki, though!)
