Re: apgsearch v1.0
Congratulations on your work Adam, I'm going to enjoy going through the objects page, as well as the census page, which is where I plan on wandering around a bit when I feel like it. I can't wait to see what kind of objects appear in the different censuses as time progresses. I'm just really glad th...

Re: Golly scripts
For those who like to find certain apgsearch objects with a certain symmetry, here's a script that does that: import golly as g import os def check(string): symmetries = {"C1": [], "C2": ["1", "2", "4"], "C4": ["1", "4"], "D2": ["+1", "+2", "x"], "D4": ["+1", "+2", "+4", "x1", "x4"], "D8": ["1", "4"...

I've modified the change-state.py script by Andrew found in Golly's online database to make another version that runs very fast for sparse patterns: # Change all cells from one given state to another given state. # Works in any rule with more than 2 states. # Author: Andrew Trevorrow (andrew@trevorr...

Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits
By the way, do we have a stable conduit that does something like this yet? I've seen oscillating conduits that do this, but not stable ones. Well, there's this conduit from sawtooth6b included with Golly, but you probably meant other ones, right? x = 16, y = 22, rule = B3/S23 b3o$bo$3o7$14b2o$14b2o...

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
I have a question: once you get your script running, how can you find what are the resulting interesting patterns? Yes, I have tried "s", but it only shows what it found, not how... Also, how to create mirrored patterns? To find how apgsearch found a particular object, you must click one of the sou...

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
Were there situations where you needed the census organized? I think it's a tidy idea to organize the census, but I'm just curious whether the idea came from necessity. The sorting of the soup numbers was only to make it a bit more orderly, and isn't technically needed, but it bothered me to see so...

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
By census, do you mean the report text file or the rle pattern of found objects? I think it is the former, but just checking. Actually, I mean the objects found by apgsearch, because some objects in symmetrical soups aren't going to appear in others, but I like how the text files are handled. I am ...

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
For soups where the same object appears multiple times, especially in symmetric soups, the same soup number appears in the sample occurrences, so you while you may get 10 sample soups, they may not be necessarily unique, and this can get particularly annoying, especially with D8_1 or D8_4 symmetry, ...

Thanks to flipper77's new symmetry options, new things with new symmetry comes along.

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
Another thing I want to talk about, is sub-folders within each rule folder, and when you use a new symmetry for that particular rule, apgsearch generates a new folder named whatever symmetry you enter. Is this a good idea, or is there a better way to deal with different symmetry settings?

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
I noticed that apgsearch imports the rect() and pattern() functions, but I haven't found a single use of either function in the code, did I miss something, or is it old code that isn't used anymore.

Here's the latest unnofficial version of apgsearch with symmetries(uses D_2n instead of D_n): apgsearch-v0.54.zip The way the hashsoup() function works is that it's passed a symmetry string like the previous version I uploaded before, but apgsearch asks you for one of these symmetry options: C1 C2_1...

Strange, when I call g.getrect(), I get the appropriate bounding box, and when I call g.getselrect(), I get the proper selection. I'm running 64-bit version of Golly 2.6 on 64-bit Windows 7 computer. Here is very straightforward test script: import golly as g r = g.getrect() sr = g.getselrect() g.sh...

Re: Pufferfish and companions
Congrats on your finds, they're quite interesting, as well as your use of the new fuse. I'll check for symmetrical-type fuses, and I'll hopefully come up with something, since I haven't had much use to run apgsearch in the last few days.

where the first symbol gives the group, the words 'orthogonal' and 'diagonal' refer to the directions of any lines of symmetry, and the words in parentheses give the parities of any dimensions constrained by the symmetry. In particular, it looks like you don't distinguish between the two D4 diagona...

Re: apgsearch: a high-performance soup searcher
That seems to suggest that p29 pre-pulsar shuttles are as common as bipoles (certainly not the case!). The scores should be based upon natural frequency in asymmetric soups. No modification is required for symmetric soups, since (for example) if a mold appears in a soup with D8 symmetry, it appears...

I'm not sure if it's okay... but did a little soup search(20M) with even 4-fold symmetry last night... I don't know why you'd think that's a bad thing, because I really enjoy symmetrical soup searches, you can find some very interesting results that usually won't show up in standard soups. Anyways,...
