Re: Logic Life Search

Code: Select all

./lls -r B012345678/S123456 -b 5 -s p2
also fails.

Re: Thread for basic questions

Is a 10 x 10 solid square of cells glider constructible? And if not is there a Garden of Eden predecessor? What, garden of edens aren’t meant to have predecessors. A pattern with predecessors doesn’t mean it must have glider synthesis, although I believe a 10x10 is not hard. They mean 'if not, is t...

Does your code have a good way of enumerating all solutions other than introducing a new clause to exclude each as it's found?
No. You would think kissat would have a faster way to do this, but as far as I can tell there's no inbuilt option to find all solutions.

Re: Imperial Earth, Pentominoes, and SAT solvers

For each letter, at least one of the placement variables must be true (one clause per letter). For each placement and cell it covers, either the placement variable is false or the cell variable is true (5 clauses per placement). These are known as 'cardinality constraints'. The trick is to know tha...

Re: Challenge: Self-Synthesizing Spaceship (COMPLETED)

Are we getting close to being able to construct ships which travel at any rational speed we specify (less than the speed limit)? It seems like this ship is very close, except that it needs to be able to zig and zag different amounts.

seriously, there were moves that gave macbi 2 boxes, or even 1, and you chose one that gave him 3??? Yes, but it won't matter.
