The performance of the LtL/HROT algo is related to the area of the bounding rectangle. So if you have a pattern like the one in your signature where you have spaceships going off to infinity then it will get slower and slower. In this case you can limit the slow down by running the pattern in a bounded grid. For example:

In what scenario?

LuveelVoom wrote: December 4th, 2024, 12:40 pm Yes. What I am describing here persists after reducing bounding rectangle size, however.

LuveelVoom wrote: December 3rd, 2024, 9:52 pm Pretty much any? If the rulestring is invalid, it throws an error, sends me to the null pattern, and wipes the rulestring from memory, losing me the rulegolf. It also makes long rulestring annoying to correct.

LuveelVoom wrote: December 14th, 2024, 9:15 pm When pressing "randomize rule" in an INT rule, a OTL rule will be rolled instead.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new pattern in an INT rule (for example, B2-a3/S3k4enri7-c, just to give one with a variety of symbols)
2. Press randomize rule.
3. Observe that lifeviewer miraculously pulls out one of the 262,144 OTL rules from the space of countless undecillions of INT rules.

This glitch may occur for other rulespaces as well, I haven't yet tested it.

• The space is very large, and there are different subspaces. (B0, A0 B1c, A01c B1e, A01 B2a, A012a, ... ???) It is unclear whether to stay within a subspace (defined in some way or another), or to allow "jumping" between subspaces.
• Different birth/survival conditions have significantly different consequences, even within the same subspace (defined in some way or another). How to assign probabilities?
