Catagolue/Stats

This template can be used to query various Catagolue statistics for B3/S23. Usage:

{{:Catagolue/Stats|''stat''|''extra parameters''}}

The stat parameter can be:

• numsoups: number of soups searched.
• numobjects: number of objects found.
• distinctobjects: number of distinct objects found.
• xs4, xs5, ...: number of distinct still lifes with population 4, 5, …
• xp4, xp5, ...: number of distinct oscillators with period 4, 5, …
• xq4, xq5, ...: number of distinct spaceships with period 4, 5, …
• methuselah_25k, methuselah_26k, ...: number of methuselahs with lifetime 25000-25999, 26000-26999, …
• messless_5h, messless_6h, ...: number of diehards with lifetime 500-599, 600-699, …
• megasized_30h, megasized_31h, ...: number of soups with final population 3000-3099, 3100-3199, …
• yl: number of distinct linear-growth patterns.
• date: date when data was collected (e.g. "January 20, 2018").
• numrules: number of rules searched.

Known extra parameters:

• symmetry=XXX: symmetry to use. Known values:
  • symmetry=C1: C1 and G1 combined (default)
  • symmetry=higher: all symmetries (as defined in the Catagolue article)
  • symmetry=SS: slow salvos
• sep=XXX: thousands-separator to use (default: ,)

Before May 7, 2023, "higher" symmetries (i.e. excluding C1 and G1) was used instead of all symmetries. The word "higher" still appears in the code, but it now includes C1 and G1.
