Multilayer pattern issue
Posted: July 22nd, 2025, 4:37 am
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?
