Find the file 'python3*.dll', but replace '3*' with your version number (e.g if you have v3.13 installed, find python313.dll).R2INT wrote: August 6th, 2025, 2:49 pm I am trying to run a Python script in Golly, but it gives me this message:
Could not load the Python library
How should I install the Python library on my Windows 11 laptop?
Take a look on mkstill from Bellman's program suite.
Probably not - HoneySearch is much faster than Glue, and when I tried to find a copy of Glue a while back so I could test it, I failed.

make: *** [makefile:31: hs.o] Error 1It looks like HoneySearch expects an older version of lifelib, one which does not rely upon the special aligned vectors "ivector", whose "operator=" is explicitly deleted for performance reasons.

Logic Life Search and rlifesrc are great for specific periods (mostly for when they are below period 7). For a brute force search with no specific period, use apgsearch.Resu wrote: August 18th, 2025, 5:36 am What are some search programs that can search for oscillators in isotropic non-totalistic rules?
Well, Ivan Fomichev (codeholic) completed a successful fuse search for a particular type of fuse (c/2) that he was looking for to go with the pufferfish.
For questions like this, you should first read the CatForce readme and the CatForce wiki page. If there's something you're confused about after reading those, you could ask about it here, presumably with a more specific question.
This was maybe something of a policy decision by Andrew, back almost a decade ago (2016) when Lua got added to Golly 2.8.Sylvani wrote: August 23rd, 2025, 10:03 am In Golly, why is there oplus/"overlay" support in Lua, but not Python? I feel like it'd be useful for both programming languages, and I rarely ever code in Lua (because it is so weird to me compared to most other programming languages).
