I am a novice to Golly and have some persistent issues.
I am trying to make two layer files with different rules and colors.
ChatGPT and Grok suggest this to start with this
#N Two-Layer Pattern with Pulsar
x = 20, y = 20, rule = Life
#C [[ LAYERS 2 ]]
#C [[ LAYER 0 ]]
#C [[ COLOR ALIVE 255 0 0 ]]
bo$2bo$3o!
#C [[ LAYER 1 ]]
#R B36/S23
#C [[ COLOR ALIVE 0 0 255 ]]
12$12b2o$11bo2bo$11bo2bo$12b2o!
Despite all my efforts I can see only the red layer.
What am I doing wrong? Do you have any 2 or 3 layer patterns that work?

Golly has Layers but LifeViewer doesn't.Igorkri1946 wrote: July 22nd, 2025, 4:37 am What am I doing wrong? Do you have any 2 or 3 layer patterns that work?
Maybe a good idea? But we can use Ruletable instead.
Also, please put RLE between code tag or pattern tag.

Re: Multilayer pattern issue
Thank you. I am using Golly 4.3 and do not see a rule table.
Re: Multilayer pattern issue
I means Golly has Layers to do that (See also Tutorials/More Golly), and we need to made a 3-state Ruletable by ourselves.Igorkri1946 wrote: July 22nd, 2025, 5:06 am Thank you. I am using Golly 4.3 and do not see a rule table.
