Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
Yes! Thank you! It runs pretty smoothly so far, and I like the new design.
I manage the 5S project, which collects all known spaceship speeds in Isotropic Non-totalistic rules. I also wrote EPE, a tool for searching in the INT rulespace.
Things to work on:
- Find (7,1)c/8 and 9c/10 ships in non-B0 INT.
- EPE improvements.

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
oh my god thank you
I have been having a minor issue both before and after the update: sometimes, when pasting a pattern in, the app no longer changes to fit the rule of the pattern, usually after the app has been open for some time and closed. This seems to fix itself after shutting the app off and reopening it.

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
Have you fixed the bug where an invalid rule can hardlock Golly?
Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
I think so (if it's the same bug that caused desktop Golly 2.x to crash).fluffykitty wrote:Have you fixed the bug where an invalid rule can hardlock Golly?
Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
I suspect this isn't really a bug. iPad Golly will only switch to the rule of a pasted pattern if the universe is empty, so make sure you tap the New button first if you want the new rule to be used. If I'm wrong about that then please try to find the exact steps needed to reproduce the problem.muzik wrote:sometimes, when pasting a pattern in, the app no longer changes to fit the rule of the pattern
Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
I just noticed that the Rule Table Repository link in Help > Online Archives is wrong. Fortunately there is another way you can download stuff from that site:
Go to Help > References.
Tap the link to Rule Table Repository (that one is correct).
Tap the link to The Rules (in Contents section of README.md).

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
Seems as though the rule changing glitch actually happens when another rule is loaded with a pattern it, the paste button is clicked, and then when the universe is cleared while the pattern is not yet pasted, pasting in the pattern doesn't change the rule.

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
Good catch. Yep, that shouldn't happen -- thankfully a fairly minor bug that's easy to avoid. Fixed in next release (maybe in a year or two, or maybe sooner if more bugs are discovered!).muzik wrote:Seems as though the rule changing glitch actually happens when another rule is loaded with a pattern it, the paste button is clicked, and then when the universe is cleared while the pattern is not yet pasted, pasting in the pattern doesn't change the rule.
Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
When attempting to use unit-fraction-orthogonal-spaceships.lua, instead of working as intended or throwing up an error, it attempts to read it as a pattern file.

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
It appears that saved patterns no longer seem to be sorted alphabetically and are instead placed randomly.
Also, MAP rules run in HashLife seem to run vertically flipped on the very first load and sometimes after undoing actions.

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
Icons seem to act weirdly around hexagonal MAP strings, try saving this file and then loading it with icons on in both instances:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 5, rule = MAPFAMgVwhXAP4AP4B+gH4A6A
6bo$bob4o$b2obobo$bobob2o$4o!

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
If a pattern gets too large for LtL to handle, the error message doesn't stop it from running, which seems to lock you from being able to stop it manually without quitting forcefully.
Code: Select all
x = 1, y = 1, rule = R500,C0,M0,S0..1002001,B1..1002001,NM
o!

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
This rulestring doesn't seem to be handled correctly by Golly; birth and survival conditions are going elsewhere when they shouldn't due to being clearly notated.
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 3, rule = B34/3/S12
A2.A$A2.A$.2A!

Re: Golly 1.2 for iPad
If you use a nonstandard notation you'll get a nonstandard result.
