If lazyslug.com correctly works it should produce a p8 oscillator in the middle (which it correctly does, on the forums' built-in viewer). However, it doesn't, and instead the soup dies out after 1 generation. Can someone please fix the bug?

Fixed, thanks for reporting!

muzik wrote: March 7th, 2024, 3:16 am Personally I think the Golly theme should be kept as yellow-to-red; Andrew himself has stated that red-to-yellow was a mistake and that yellow-to-red is a superior choice, particularly on a dark background.

Please post a link to the pattern. Does it always happen? What error is provided if you click on "SHOW PATTERN ERROR"?

muzik wrote: March 7th, 2024, 3:09 pm In this case would it also be possible for the Golly Theme to display 2-state higher-range patterns in the same way (yellow instead of white)?

muzik wrote: March 7th, 2024, 3:09 pm The Golly theme for higher-range rules also appears to be leaving a trail of history cells behind now, which is not the case in the actual program nor for range-1.

I don't know if this is the same pattern, but I currently observe the same behaviour for several patterns posted on the same page of the thread: viewtopic.php?p=42350#p42350

Switch the rule to Ignorance to see the white cells:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 3, rule = B3/S23Investigator
.A3.B3.E$A3.B3.E$3A.3B.3E!

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 3, rule = Ignorance
.A3.B3.E$A3.B3.E$3A.3B.3E!

Also you can switch the rule to Ignorance but the "SHOW PATTERN ERROR" says that Ignorance isn't supported rule name.

The shortcut keys are used to get around the problem. However, the problem is still in touchscreen devices.

Next time make LifeViewer bug reports like this in LifeViewer bugs thread.

When I try it it either plays at 49x speed or 51x speed

There're 136 neighbors in the weighted neighborhood, but LifeViewer says the maximum neighbors a cell can have is 8.
