Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
Interesting.
Here's a suggestion that I've been making for years: start with two honey farm + eater -> glider + junk reactions with 180-degree symmetry. For example:
Code: Select all
x = 27, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

Thanks for trying. I still consider this a very promising idea, if anyone wants to write a script without this spark placement restriction.hotdogPi wrote: ↑April 11th, 2021, 10:07 amAbout the honey farm + eater reaction mentioned by Sokwe: I tried several configurations, and it returned nothing. However, I can't get all of them. It only checks the leftmost boundary and puts sparks there and in the corresponding position on the right. I used a trick to delete the glider early for one of the runs, but if the eater is farther left than any of the active region, it won't put the sparks in the correct place.
It's been looked at before, and can be extended to a (known) wick:MathAndCode wrote: ↑April 11th, 2021, 4:25 pmHas this bun hassling mechanism been made into a p14 oscillator?The difficulty stems from the tendency for one of the weak sparks at generation six to hit a catalyst on the other side.Code: Select all

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
Yup, I just took a quick look at my copies of DRH-oscillators, jslife, and the jslife supplement, and there's literally no competition -- "literally" as in, period 76 is not represented in these collections.
It's easy enough to build a bumper-based glider loop using p4 bumpers, but because of the way the rephasing works at each 90-degree turn, you need eight bumpers to close a loop. So you end up with some variant of this:

The interesting thing will be whether someone can come up with a p4 glider splitter, maybe a p4 variant of Jormungant's periodic splitter, that allows for a p76 gun smaller than the current 121x65 pseudo-period gun. Or a true-period p76 smaller than {whatever the smallest p76N Herschel loop is} would still be new territory, I suppose.
The top of Jormungant's Bandersnatch-based splitter is perfectly p4 compatible. I haven't tried a search yet for p4s that can suppress the reaction in the southeast, replacing the blinker here:

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
One time, I decided to keep it going on the same file for as long as possible. When I reached only 2.5 GB left of free space, my computer gave me a warning. (It's normally at 55 GB.) I closed it, and it went back to 10 GB. I opened Golly, made a change, and closed without saving, which got me to 12 GB. I decided to restart my computer, and it took from 3 PM EDT to now for it to start up. (Fortunately, since it was the second time it happened, combined with a way to see how much space was available by starting to run diagnostics, I knew what was happening. The first time, I had to send it in to repair for several days, since my X key refused to work entirely, and I thought the two were related when they weren't.)

What is "the program" exactly?

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
It's the Python code I posted earlier, except it keeps getting modified depending on what I'm doing with it. Here is the latest version (note that my variable names r_up and r_down haven't changed despite not always being R-pentominoes, and the comments haven't changed to go along with changes, either; it's not ready for publishing). One thing I have corrected since my previous post containing the code is that the spark on the right automatically updates to the correct location based on initial pattern size.dvgrn wrote: ↑April 12th, 2021, 9:17 pmWhat is "the program" exactly?

"Same file" does refer to Golly; I'm running it on untitled, and leaving untitled or quitting entirely takes a really long time to where I have to force quit, probably because Golly allows unlimited undos and it has to store them all.

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
I think you'll find that the only problem here is that you don't call g.new("") anywhere in your script.
If you do that, then Golly won't try to record and remember in its Undo buffer every single individual step that your script takes. As it is, with your clear(0) and clear(1) syntax avoiding a g.new() call but having a similar effect, that's basically what Golly is doing.
You can see why remembering every individual script action could cause a lot of trouble with big temporary file sizes, on a long run of a script.
Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread
Try putting g.new("") at the beginning. Golly is trying to keep the entire undo log since it thinks you're modifying a pattern, and that's a lot of files and running g.new("") tells it that it's creating some new kind of pattern, and that should stop it from logging every change. I don't know if that'll work, but it's worth a try.hotdogPi wrote: ↑April 12th, 2021, 9:23 pmIt's the Python code I posted earlier, except it keeps getting modified depending on what I'm doing with it. Here is the latest version (note that my variable names r_up and r_down haven't changed despite not always being R-pentominoes, and the comments haven't changed to go along with changes, either; it's not ready for publishing). One thing I have corrected since my previous post containing the code is that the spark on the right automatically updates to the correct location based on initial pattern size.
I guess I can still mention how it's a lot faster when it's not trying to record every step.At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this.
