LifeViewer version is now 420, works again; Thanks!

Opening lifeviewer (in forums) - the viewer window more or less outside of the screen. And button areas, zoom gadgets etc. seems to be inactive, producing only scrolls.

Or would authors mind uploading md5/shaX files to an SSL site? Sorry, but even if I knew how to do that I'm not that interested. I'm not exactly sure what you're worried about. I've been distributing Golly this way for over a decade without any problems so I don't see any need to change now. Oh, I'...

The dmg file is signed (and notarized for Mac OS 10.15+). Other than that, no.

Shall I give my pubkey? Or would authors mind uploading md5/shaX files to an SSL site?

Is there a way to validate the downloaded stuff? I mean signatures, getting flat files or checksums over ssl, source code repository (sf, git**b)?

And for the post opener, an "Alert! Spoilers!" remark would be nice!

Where could I get more information about Herschel tracks? Especially classification of terminating tracks a H or B would be handy. I wonder if there were experiments about H-track logic. Sounds like you might be looking for the Elementary Conduits Collection . Also, if you open Golly's Patterns/Lif...

What is known about other gates like OR, XOR etc.? OR and XOR would probably be a pain. At some point you'd need to merge glider streams with the exact same timing. The mechanism for this would just be a giant conduit one glider's side which spits off one glider to destroy the other glider and then...

Extending my questions: parallel glider paths must be disjoint and must fit to smallest stable right angle glider reflector (currently it is Snark )! The trivial 2G+2Eaters AND gate violates this constraint. Are we talking about the same AND gate? This ancient one seems to satisfy your constraint: ...

... Of course, it would be possible to make a giant setup where a pseudoheisenburp detects one of the Gs and launches salvos that push the output glider a nice distance out if it exists, and otherwise hit eaters, however that would be beyond overthinking it and it surely isn’t the smallest AND gate...
