| Script Name | Description |
| 3DLife.py (v1.00) | An implementation of 3D Life inspired by the work of Carter Bays. Very slow, but it does illustrate some useful scripting techniques. |
| change-state.py (v1.00) | Changes all cells from one given state to another given state. Works in any rule with more than 2 states. |
| edge-to-slope.py (v1.00) | Converts a LifeOnTheEdge pattern to an equivalent LifeOnTheSlope pattern (which is created in a new layer). |
| fast-duplicate.py (v1.00) | Duplicates the current pattern and settings in a new layer, but doesn't copy the undo/redo history. Much faster than the Duplicate Layer menu command, especially for very large patterns. |
| getallrules.py (v1.01) | Displays all rules that the current pattern works under (e.g., the output for a glider is "B3/S23 - B3678/S0235678"). |
| gofast.py (v1.01) | Evolves a pattern to the specified generation using the HashLife algorithm. |
| heat.py (v1.01) | Calculates the heat of the current pattern (assumed to be an oscillator or spaceship). |
| histogram.py (v1.00) | Creates a histogram plot showing the frequencies of all cell states in the current selection, if one exists, otherwise the entire pattern. |
| make-ruletree.py (v1.00) | Creates and installs a .tree file using a Python transition function passed in via the clipboard. |
| save-as-mc.py (v1.00) | Golly's Save Pattern dialog always uses .rle as the default format, so this script brings up the same dialog but with .mc as the default format. |
| save-image.py (v1.01) | Saves the current selection or pattern in a specified image file (.png/.bmp/.gif/.tif/.jpg). Requires the Python Imaging Library. |
| selection_density.pl (v1.00) | Calculates the density of live and dying cells in the current selection. Best used with a Generations rule. |
| soup_search.zip (v1.03) | A script for collecting census and lifespan data in an online database -- requires Python 2.6.0 or 2.6.2. More information can be found here. |
| torus.py (v1.02) | Evolves the current pattern on a torus (the torus is the currently-selected region). |
