Thread for your fun pseudorandom soup generation algorithms

[Empty Emptiness]

share your fun algorithms for generating pseudorandom soups that you just came up with cuz why not
here's mine: make an x by y toroidal universe. put this at the top left

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
2o2$o!

send it through x+y generations of Persian Rug and then x+y-1 generations of Fredkin
i did this for a 4096x4096 soup. golly crashed when i tried to copy it to clipboard so i could present it here. that was probably for the best.

... golly crashed when i tried to copy it to clipboard ...

Which version of Golly were you using, which algorithm (QuickLife/HashLife), and which platform (Mac/Windows/Linux)? I couldn't reproduce any crash using Golly 4.3 on my Mac when I tried the above steps.
EDIT: Do you get a crash regardless of the size of the torus?

it was a copy that has normally worked but crashed that one time. odd. FYI i was using 4.3 64bit.

Result on 64x64:

Code: Select all

x = 64, y = 64, rule = B3/S23

Disadvantage:
• The same result for the same size.

I guess the algorithm for slimechunks_stdin fits here.
