Golly seems to crash in these two situations:

1. When the population changes from 154 to 155.

2. When the population is 157 in two consecutive generations, usually; there's a small chance of it surviving and a small chance of a visually glitched screen but no behavior changes.

How do I fix this?

These guns aren't record-breaking, but it's possible the same mechanism (which is the same for both of these) can be used elsewhere. p224 (p56 phi sparker, p32 V sparker) x = 44, y = 46, rule = B3/S23 13b2o7bo$13bobo5b2o15b2o$14b2o3b2obo15bo$10b2o7b2o15bobo$9bobo15b2o7b 2o$9bo15bob2o3b2o$8b2o15b2o5b...

If your sister really did that to you when you were ten, something is really wrong with her.

If you look in the textcensus, I just added several 4-digit gun periods that are multiples of 192 (7, 9, 13, 17, 19, 29, 31, 37, 43, and I might be missing one or two). Their bounding boxes are typically between 2000 and 4000 cells.

Go through the Catagolue gun census. For 4-digit periods that are a 3-smooth number times a number under 1000, automatically add semi/tremi/quadri-snarks to the 3-digit periods to create the 4-digit period if it would result in a reduction. If there is currently no gun for the specified 4-digit numb...

The number of 1xn patterns with no dots or dominoes (i.e. that don't die immediately) has the ratio of f(n):f(n-1) approach phi. The law of large numbers can be seen in "is A more common than B given a specific sample size" as the sample size tends toward infinity. There are quadratic growth pattern...

This forum has some discussion of SAT solvers used to find oscillators and spaceships (or prove them impossible). Has anyone used SAT solvers for their intended purpose of solving the SATs? Many people on this forum are in the United States and in high school.

That was already in my trafficlightpush.rle file.

Using either Golly or LifeViewer (LifeViewer is the in-browser simulator on this website), select all (or a region) and click copy (or control-C). On the forum post, click the "pattern" or </> tag (they're identical), and then paste it in. It should look like this: x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3/S23 o$2obo...

I undid the page move due to opposition (including from bubblegum, who only posted on Discord). The new page now exists at "Eater 1 reaction".

You do realize this p38 is known, right?

We are not jumping that high. Someone else's post of "3" was already rejected for being too much of a jump.

Wrong thread.

Many of you aren't submitting your improvements to Catagolue. I updated the spreadsheet that I got from textcensus, checked page 38 and 39, and had to submit about 8 of them.

Just for the meme:

How many gliders does it take to convert a cis-boat with tail to a trans-boat with tail?

Due to a French language video on YouTube getting a whole bunch of views, the Discord server has seen a massive uptick in joins... but the forum has had no new members from April 11 to 24 (there's been exactly one today). I don't think it's the change in anti-bot question, as the first half of April...

Done.

Golly doesn't yet support INT hexagonal, which makes it a bit harder to work with.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a compressed way to do it, since base64 is already almost as compressed as you can get, and it's 86 characters. Staying with ASCII, using the 95 printable characters only brings this down from 86 to 78 characters, and all possibilities are used so it can't be compre...
