If [R]Extended seems to be working out for people in LifeViewer, then definitely it would be great to add it to the Super algo.

I haven't done any of the thinking and designing to see how "Extended" generalizes to non-Life rules, but so far it definitely looks like things are in working order! (with some minor feedback about the naming being "bad and lame"...)

Build 1046 is now available on the lazyslug server

Enhancements in this build:

• renamed [R]Extended to [R]Investigator

I've checked in [R]Investigator changes to Golly. If you get a chance to take a look I'd be grateful. I'd be even *more* greatful if you'd update the Help documentation.

Also need to consider whether it's worth having Lua conversion scripts.

Build 1061 is now available on the lazyslug server

Enhancements in this build:

• Non-deterministic HROT rules now support defining the percentage chance of surviving a death, and the chance of a birth:
  • Rrange,Cstates,Ssurvival-list,Bbirth-list,Nneighborhood[,P[survive%[,birth%]]]
    • Example: R100,C2,S5612-9776,B5612-7585,NN,P15,95

    • survival% is the chance that a cell actually survives when the rule specifies it should
    • birth% is the chance that a cell is actually born when the rule specifies it should
    • immunity% is the chance that a cell survives when the rule specifies it should die
    • if only survival% is specified then that value is also used for birth%, and immunity% is set to 0%
    • if none are specified then a random values are used for survival% and birth%, and immunity% is set to 0%
