Hello all,

I'm a GOL enthusiast and new to these forums. I have uploaded a new HD video (with CA-generated music) on Gemini to Youtube. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks

Nice video. This is first time when I clearly see how Gemini travels. How you made such video?

Well done, how much time did you have to run it to make the video?

Glad you like it! I ran it for about 168M generations. It actually didn't take that long (about 4-5h). Unfortunately, the hashlife algorithm in Golly only allows a maximum of 4GB of memory allocation, and my machine has 16GB. I couldn't go further because of this. Is there a 64bit compile so it can use more memory?

If you use Windows then please try this build (thanks to Tim Hutton) and let me know how it goes:

Note that if you want to run Python/Perl scripts with this build then you'll need to install 64-bit versions of Python/Perl.

If you use Windows...

Thank you Andrew, but I use mac. Is there/will be a 64-bit compile?

Yes, if you use Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7 then download golly-2.3-mac.zip from sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/f ... golly-2.3/

If you use 10.4 or 10.5 then you'll have to use the 32-bit Golly in golly-2.3-mac104.zip.

This on any archive? Anyone got the code for this?

Slightly off topic, but… what exactly is "rule 110-generated music"?
