I don't recognize the center region (even though it might be one of my partials). What period is it supposed to be?

p57.

Do I have to be a human being first?

What are you, then? because I find it unlikely that a bot or an animal would be capable of posting with such mildly entertaining disquality as your posts. (Although spinach could be a candidate.)

Are light-speed spaceships/puffers/rakes (or ones faster than c/2) possible? Theoretically an infinitely long orthogonal line would travel at light speed (and also be a replicator), so we could use a line and some other stuff to at least get a faster than _WSS speed ship. Nope, not a finite one. c/...

puffer fish is a gif: https://catagolue.hatsya.com/object/yl1 ... 523/b38s23

Indeed, and so are the BLSE/GPSE ones, since Catagolue can't generate yl SVGs. The pufferfish GIF is just extremely poorly made.

"cheater2" Huh, is that actually what it's called? apgoucher calls it a treater2 here: I can manage a non-trivial p51 using Stephen Silver's treater2 : x = 26, y = 23, rule = B3/S23 15b2o$15b2o2$13b4o$12bo4bo4b2o$13bo2bo6bo$10b3obobo4bo$9bo3bo6bob4o$o 8b2ob2o2bo3bobo2bo$3o10bobo2b3obo$3bo5b2obo2bo$...

This gun uses the natural honey farm + eater -> glider + junk reaction.

Ooh, it's an AK-47 reaction gun, so "AK-46"?

Post anything you need from me before I potentially close my account.

Could I have an example of someone here who's hated on you or otherwise expressed discontentment with your presence?

Yes, that's what I meant.

Bad question phrasing, I see.

Besides, it's not like names have to be logical or anything. "Eater 1" doesn't mean "Eater the First", it's just its name.

How could you use Baidu?

What, is it illegal under the Eighty-seventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States or something?

This 10-cell still life is consistently misidentified as PATHOLOGICAL.

The rule is R2, but apgsearch's object separation algorithm mistakenly separates the two parts as if it was R1. Then each half becomes a spaceship and apgsearch panics and slaps PATHOLOGICAL over it.

To clarify, as long as the symmetry is not recognized, the program will read RLEs from stdin instead of generating soups from SHA of a random seed, is that right? Does the symmetry have to end with 'stdin'? "Unofficial" symmetries are used for apgsearch hacks, mainly. They do generate soups from SH...

non-G catalyst Specifically, I believe this one is called the "drifty eater 3" or just plain "drifter catalyst", and its main usage is this: x = 40, y = 14, rule = B3/S23 21bob2o$21b2obo2$19b5o$5b2o12bo4bo2b2o$2o2bobo15bo2bo2bo10bo$o3bo4bo12b 2obobo9b3o$b3ob5o9bo5bob2o4b2obo$3bobo12bobo4bo6bobobob2...

it would probably include my discoveries in B2n3-ce4ky6in8/S234c, and my discoveries in several other rules.

The Discoveries section is only for B3/S23, so the Discoveries in Higher Symmetries category-to-be really doesn't have a reason to include other rules.

I request the feature that, when zoomed in to a specific zoom level, a grid is visible.

Press X, or the Grid key at the top-right, and make sure you're zoomed to at least 4.0.

I didn't get a window telling me that Golly couldn't load the Python directory, which I think is progress, but it seems that there is a problem with the Python script. Maybe the copy of the script that I have is meant for the wrong version of Python? My guess is that the "w" in the `open` command s...

of the glider is a spaceship.

Older versions of apgsearch incorrectly assumed the glider would be a spaceship somehow. Just gotta wait until apgoucher adds -33435277 gliders to the census.

29 January 2021, and here is an invite to the Discord.
