Bugs R1 to R100 Project

[Saka]

New range 3 bug:

Code: Select all

rlle

Bugs from the quadratic bugs rule:

Code: Select all

Rl3

???? These are not in the correct rule at all.

Would like to mention this rulescaling script, automatically changes the range smoothly. Z/X to increase/decrease step and space to advance. Set base in the code to your base range.

Code: Select all

x = 55, y = 28, rule = R2,C0,M1,S7..11,B7..9,NM

Nice pattern. But we already have a set scaling scriptgorithm.

[fluffykitty]

That last pattern was made by someone else (copypaste bugs ugh)

Code: Select all

from decimal import *
import golly as g
def setrange(x):
	#ltlrangeconvert.py
	#A script to change the range
	#but keep MOST of the dynamics
	#DISCLAIMER: Drastic range changes will remove the dynamics.
	#Thanks to Dean Hickerson's algorithm!
	#By Saka.
	getcontext().prec = 8
	fullrule = g.getrule()
	sections = fullrule.split(",")
	r = sections[0]
	b = sections[4]
	s = sections[3]
	c = sections[1]
	m = sections[2]
	n = sections[5]
	#Filter n so :Txxx don't get involved
	nlist = n.split(":")
	npure = nlist[0]
	#Aaand filter r so the R is gone
	rpure = int(r[1:])
	#Getting bmin and bmax outta that string...
	bpure = b.translate(None,"B")
	blist = b[1:].split("..")
	bmin = int(blist[0])
	bmax = int(blist[1])
	#Now for smin and smax...
	spure = s.translate(None,"S")
	slist = s[1:].split("..")
	smin = int(slist[0])
	smax = int(slist[1])
	#Input time
	try:
		rangeto = x
	except:
		rangeto=g.prompt("","5")
	rangetostr = str(rangeto)
	#Now for calculations!
	meaningoflife = (2*Decimal(rangeto)+1)**2/(2*Decimal(rpure)+1)**2
	newbmin = str(int(round(bmin*meaningoflife))) #Huh. Decimal to number to integer to string
	newbmax = str(int(round(bmax*meaningoflife)))
	newsmin = str(int(round(smin*meaningoflife)))
	newsmax = str(int(round(smax*meaningoflife)))
	newrule = "R"+rangetostr+","+c+","+m+","+"S"+newsmin+".."+newsmax+","+"B"+newbmin+".."+newbmax+","+npure
	g.setrule(newrule)
g.reset()
g.getevent()
base=100
down=range(base,0,-1) #descending
up=range(base,500) #ascending
x=up+range(500,0,-1)
for i in x:
	setrange(i)
	g.show(str(i))
	for j in xrange(1):
		g.step()
		g.fit()
		g.update()
		a=g.getevent()
		skipcheck=True
		while not skipcheck and a!="key space none":
			if(a=="key z none"):
				g.setstep(g.getstep()-1)
				g.update()
			elif(a=="key x none"):
				g.setstep(g.getstep()+1)
				g.update()
			a=g.getevent()

A range 2 bugs variant that doesn't explode, featuring an unloopable RRO:

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 6, rule = R2,C0,M1,S7..10,B7..9,NM
21bo$b3o7b2o7bob2o$2o2bo5bob2o5bo3b2o$2o2bo5bo2bo6bob2o$b3o6bob2o6b3o$
2b2o7b2o8bo!

Most displeasingly, the Bugs R17 rule calculated by hand seems to be extremely inert:

Code: Select all

x = 63, y = 19, rule = R17,C0,M1,S344..456,B344..587,NM
2b16o26b17o$b18o24b19o$20o22b21o$20o22b21o$20o22b21o$20o22b21o$20o22b

Is this rule correct?
R2,C0,M1,S7..12,B7..9,NM
EDIT Oh, it's not.
Btw, here are range 2 bugs:

Code: Select all

x = 55, y = 28, rule = R2,C0,M1,S7..11,B7..9,NM
13bo4bo19bo3bo$12b3o3bo19bo9bo$3o3b3o4bo4b3o15b3o3bo3b3o3b3o$obo3bo6bo

4bo25bo2bo6bo$5bobo5b3o23bobo5b3o!

Actually, the rule is correct but those aren't bugs, they explode.

This is an old thread, but I'd just like to say for the record that these are in fact Bugs that don't explode; the explosion only occurs because the "text" around the bugs:

Code: Select all

x = 40, y = 6, rule = R2,C0,M1,S7..11,B7..9,NM
b2o33b3o$ob3o30b2ob2o$o2b2o30bo3bo$o2b2o30bo2b2o$ob3o31b3o$b2o!

When I used the formula to make a Bugs R2 rules, I ended up with a fractional number. What's going on?

Are you doing it by hand? Try rounding, which is what the script does, or just use the script.

Bugs R6 Variant with a quadratic replicator:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 14, rule = R6,C0,M1,S47..81,B47..61,NM
7bo$4b6o$2b6ob2o$b6o3b2o$6o5b2o$5o7bo$5o6b3o$5o5b3o$b5o3b4o$2b11o$3b9o
$4b8o$5b6o$6b4o!

???? This is not in the correct rule at all.
