Community survey

Post by TIGERALLCAPTAINS » March 15th, 2019, 7:47 pm

Hey everyone, I'm currently doing a paper on the community around CA like Conway's Game, and I whipped up a quick survey that I was hoping you all could complete.

It's going to ask you somewhat personal information (age, how long you've worked with CA, etc.) so if you don't feel comfortable releasing anything at all personal in a paper, please feel free to not take it.

Here it is: https://goo.gl/forms/uqFLNyAC6hMb7Zgm2

I'm willing to do a survey, but can you provide information about the purpose, audience, etc. Is this a research project?

It's a college research project for English class, I'll be showing it in front of a class of about 25 people. I'm specifically doing a paper on the community that works with CA, since there's both a lot of scientists and a lot of more casual people working with them.

As for the age limit, I can't legally include someone's results if they're not old enough to give consent for it, so that's why that part is there.

Is it anonymous?
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.
