rowett wrote: February 3rd, 2025, 7:46 am LifeViewer build 1231 reduces the height of code boxes that contain valid patterns (i.e. have a SHOW IN VIEWER link). This is to give more real estate on the page.

Could there be the option to resize it to make it taller? (the default will be what it is right now, and it resets when you reload the page)

The rule is built-in.

how do i fix this?

• toggle with Settings>Advanced>Safe Mode (hotkey Shift F9)
  • this setting is saved for the current browser on the current device
• will not add SHOW IN VIEWER link when pattern uses [[ MAXGRIDSIZE 14 ]]
• will not Launch Thumbnail when pattern uses [[ MAXGRIDSIZE 14 ]]
  • instead, RLE can be copied by clicking on the Thumbnail
    • this can be disabled with [[ NOCOPY ]]

I don't see how it could be useful.

I see how it would be awkward and confusing ("principle of least astonishment"), and would unnecessarily complicate the RLE format ("keep it simple").

It’s for backwards compatibility.

Depends on what improvements you are after.

muzik wrote: February 17th, 2025, 4:43 pm Unless something has fundamentally changed about the X and Y commands since last time something about them seems quite broken. I'd expect this to center the camera on X=16 and Y=16, but it overshoots this position considerably

• By default the camera is centered on the loaded pattern. [[ X 0 Y 0 ]] is the camera pan at that position.
• Cell coordinate (0, 0) is the top left cell in the pattern and cell coordinate (pattern width - 1, pattern height - 1) is the bottom right cell.
