Help with Golly - rules

Post by Linicks » January 10th, 2016, 11:16 am

How can I set Golly back to just use the basic Conway GOL rules - after loading a few things, it appears to stay in whatever rule set was last used - and looking at all the options, I haven't clue what I am supposed to be looking for to do this?

Any help appreciated, thanks,

Nick

Control > Set Rule > Type "B3/S23" and set to "QuickLife" or "HashLife"

Ah, OK, I see. Thanks.

Now how do I reset the colours to red on black - somehow I am stuck on white and black now after running something from here?

Thanks,

Nick

Change to RuleLoader with B3/S23

Yea, I did that but the colours didn't reset. I managed to do manually via preferences->colour, but now understand what you mean - crikey, there are options within options to change everything in all sorts of permutations.

OK, I will have to mess about a bit to learn the interface better.

Thanks for your help,

Nick
