So the entire screen would refresh once every 2^n generations, so that hashlife with a given step size and alignment would match the refresh rate? Also, programming a game for this kind of design is trivial in comparison to the rest of the work, namely constructing a computer (+ peripherals) and wri...

I have written some more programs. I'm also working on an emulator for the Wireworld Computer. # # fibonacci.bwcsl # blah 2018 # # Algorithmically, computing the Fibonacci Sequence is almost trivial. But I may # as well do this at some point. This is the first program for the Wireworld # Computer I ...

BWCSL (Blah Wireworld Computer Substitution Language, pronounced "bwicksle" ([ˈbwɪk.səl]?)) is a simple programming language I created for programming the Wireworld Computer. I had the basic idea in 2016 when trying to program Dick , but I never implemented it until now. The language is based on the...

I programmed the Wireworld Computer to display the 21days sequence: x = 568, y = 903, rule = WireWorld 150.25C66.25C66.25C66.25C66.25C$149.27C64.27C64.27C64.27C64.27C$148.C27.C62.C27.C62.C27.C62.C27.C62.C27.C$147.C.27C.C60.C.27C.C60.C.27C.C60.C.27C.C60.C.27C.C$141.4C.33C53.4C.33C53.4C.33C53.4C.33C53...

I tried running Golly 3.2 on Ubuntu 18.04, but nothing happens. When running it from a terminal, this shows up: $ ./golly ./golly: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ :( From what I could find by looking that up, I believe ...

How big is the LTL rulespace for R < 100? I'm a bit late to respond to this, but I've gone into the detail on the combinatorics here before. Like the previous time a similar question was asked, people then went on to do maths I had already done a year before. I'm not going to say that my pdf contai...

I was hoping for this to use entirely stable circuitry, so no synchronization would be needed. Not necessarily. You still have to synchronise different signals if you want to make a logic gate (even if the signals are streams of gliders rather than single gliders). I'd imagine you'd want to make al...

danieldb, drc, and danny apparently all turn 16 today. I'm pretty sure they are all the same person, however.

Happy birthday to danny and his clones.

(EDIT: Maybe his birthday has already passed in his timezone, but for some reason I can't figure out which timezone "i love to eat bees" is in.)

What about normal style code golf? Here's my golfed version of your rule (78 bytes): @RULE @TABLE n_states:2 neighborhood:vonNeumann symmetries:none 010001 100000 Or this, with the same amount of bytes: @RULE @TABLE n_states:2 neighborhood:oneDimensional symmetries:none 0101 1000 (When I copy and pa...

When the synthesis of the crab-barge-stretcher thing was completed, I made this suggestion, and I'd probably make a similar suggestion here.

Personally, I don't understand the purpose of doing this in the game of life. If you want a simulated computer that can run at a reasonable speed and run games from a ROM cartridge, look at R16K1S60 . There are plenty of virtual computers and even more CA or related media to create them in. If you'r...

I'm pretty sure it's about average density, not the density of a single phase. Also, I thought it was proven; is it still a conjecture?

I have compressed my old register design: #C A 4-bit register. It takes the presence or absence of 4 photons in a p12 stream as the input. This can be used to convert loop memory to a form of data which is easier to do combinational logic on. x = 217, y = 67, rule = Wire2 72.BCB10.ACA24.ABA10.CBC24....

Every such a bounded grid is isomorphic to a boundless grid with odd lines of symmetry in place of the grey lines, which is isomorphic to 2x2 reflected copies of the rectangle on a torus, which is isomorphic to an agar. They all have corresponding agars, but they themselves are not agars, which I t...

The p12 is known. It was in jslife in this form: #C From jslife/wicks/w00012.lif x = 7, y = 59, rule = B3/S23 4b2o$2obobo$bob2o$o2bo2bo$2o2b3o2$2o2b3o$o2bo2bo$bob2o$2obobo$4b2o2$4b 2o$2obobo$bob2o$o2bo2bo$2o2b3o2$2o2b3o$o2bo2bo$bob2o$2obobo$4b2o2$4b2o $2obobo$bob2o$o2bo2bo$2o2b3o2$2o2b3o$o2bo2bo$bob...

I discovered 5x5 plane oscillators with different periods: #C p12 oscillator in a 5x5 plane found with dds x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23:P5,5 b3o$o3bo$o3bo$o2b2o! #C p8 oscillator in a 5x5 plane found with dds x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23:P5,5 b2o$bo2bo$bob2o$bob2o$bo! I'm assuming that these are undis...

I wrote a search program (inspired by this ) to enumerate patterns in a bounded grid, and found a p4 oscillator on a 5x5 grid: x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23:P5,5 b3o$obobo$2ob2o$2o! wildmyron then created a wick using it. x = 39, y = 13, rule = B3/S23 9bob2ob2obo3bob2ob2obo$9b2obobob2o3b2obobob2o$5b2o...

I have a proof that 1=2, but these forums don't let you make a post big enough to contain it. I have also proven that 2 does not equal 1, and therefore equality is not commutative. You'll just have to take my word for it, trust me, I'm a genius.

Here's a 4-bit register, which takes the presence or absence of 4 p12 pulses as input. Here we see 1101 getting written. #C A 4-bit register in Wire2. It takes the presence or absence of 4 photons in a p12 stream as the input. This can be used to convert loop memory to a form of data which is easier...

Can you post a screenshot of the computer which counted up to say, 1? I ran it for ~1500000 gens and nothing. Where does it display the numbers? It was already displaying 1 in the initial state I posted. Here's the state after it reaches 2 (~80,000 generations). The display is in binary. x = 457, y...

You're not running it long enough. Note that you can run it faster by increasing the generations/frame in the menu at the bottom.
