Re: Hacking apgsearch
It's because I was stupid and didn't test the script enough before releasing it. The line 0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0 in the dlife rule table wasn't accounted for in the last two conditionals in the function that produces the ContagiousLife table. To fix it, just replace the RuleGenerator.saveContagiousLife() function withSaka wrote:I get an error every time I try to use dlife (from life variations thread):Not sure what's going on, the script works just fine for other rules (e.g. tlife, HeptaFish)Code: Select all

I call it "apgsearch-2015-12-20-v0.54+0.1i+0.1j.py":

I tried this out and it seems to work fine. Is every soup with an LWSS triggering the Pathological detection? It seems more likely to me that an LWSS is colliding with something after the soup was determined to be stable.drc wrote:I'm having trouble with the A for awesome's version of apgnano.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
In Move variants, apgsearch v0.54 + v0.1i reports gliders, even though the rule doesn't support them. I suspect the "gliders" it's reporting are actually "spinning gliders", a p4 oscillator in Move-like rules. In fact, the phase of the glider given by its apgcode is different from the spinning glider, which means apgsearch is recognizing the gliders by their wrong phase.
EDIT: I now think this is happening because glidersexist() doesn't get called on non-Life-like rules, but the gliders are getting detected anyway.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
- Numerous bug fixes, including the ones for x-rule-pre and dlife.
- Gliders are now tested on a rule-by-rule basis.
- Added rules to identify and expunge T's.
- Adapted Gameoflifeboy's modification to allow rules from your Rules folder.
- Minor changes to object scores.
- More accurate scores for a multitude of rules.
- Rule to separate non-interacting combinations of high-period oscillators.
- Modifications to countxwsses() that add support for other, rule-specific p4 spaceships.
- Bounded grids (for exploding rules.)
- Support for Generations, Plus-Minus, or custom 3-state rules.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
Another (very dirtily) hacked variant of apgsearch, which enumerates all patterns within a given bounding box, runs them to completion, and censuses the result:
P.S. Don't be alarmed by the weird error message that shows up right after the results are displayed. As far as I know, it's inconsequential.
There isn't much to explain. Just run it like you would normal apgsearch and enter in the number of soups (preferably a number higher than the total number of patterns that fit within the bounding box you're searching), the dimensions of the box you're searching, and the rule.P.S.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
Works better on my system with a small change to line 50. I got the errorpraosylen wrote:Another (very dirtily) hacked variant of apgsearch, which enumerates all patterns within a given bounding box, runs them to completion, and censuses the result...
Code: Select all
File "apgsearch-MxNrect-0.1.py", line 50, in hashsoup
for i in xrange(math.floor(math.log(sym+1, 2))+1):
TypeError: integer argument expected, got float
for i in xrange(int(math.floor(math.log(sym+1, 2)))+1):
math.floor() is rumored to return a float in Python 2.x but not in 3.x. Is there a Python 2.x version that works with Golly but doesn't throw the above error?
Also, if you specify a number larger than the total possible number of MxN patterns, does the script stop when it has enumerated every possible pattern once? I'm trying a 5x5 run in B3/S23, so it will be a while before I get to 33554432 to see for myself.
I don't quite understand your line 11252; seems as if the min() calculation cuts the number of iterations down to the right size, but if I put in a really big number, the script would go round and round because the limit power-of-two value isn't being divided by the number of soups per page. Looks like it should be
for i in xrange(min(int((number-1)/spp)+1, int((2**(c.x*c.y)-1)/spp)+1)):
For example, that successfully runs just 2^9=512 3x3 soups, instead of going through 64x512 = 32768 of them before stopping.
Another random thought: the current script doesn't account for rotations and reflections, so in a 5x5 search it will eventually census all eight orientations of 2obo$b2obo$2ob2o$b3o! (for example).
Have you considered generating all orientations of each candidate pattern, and letting apgsearch run a candidate only if no other orientation sorts lower? Pretty much any sort criterion would work.
With all that extra flipping/rotating/sorting work, it might not save much time in the end, but you wouldn't end up with identical census results in lots of groups of two or four or eight.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
Thanks for the pointers and suggestions. I have just fixed the original version to accommodate your fixes. No, the version you have does not stop when it has enumerated all possible MxN patterns; it instead enumerates them 64 times, except for the last page, which it enumerates only 63 times. This should be fixed in the updated version.dvgrn wrote:Works better on my system with a small change to line 50.

With all that extra flipping/rotating/sorting work, it might not save much time in the end, but you wouldn't end up with identical census results in lots of groups of two or four or eight.
Generating only one orientation of each pattern would probably be efficient enough by far to produce an increase in performance, but I have no idea how to do that.

Nice!praosylen wrote:Another (very dirtily) hacked variant of apgsearch, which enumerates all patterns within a given bounding box, runs them to completion, and censuses the result:There isn't much to explain. Just run it like you would normal apgsearch and enter in the number of soups (preferably a number higher than the total number of patterns that fit within the bounding box you're searching), the dimensions of the box you're searching, and the rule.
P.S. Don't be alarmed by the weird error message that shows up right after the results are displayed. As far as I know, it's inconsequential.
Code: Select all
x = 5, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
o2b2o$ob2o$4o!
Edit: And eliminate 1 and 2 cell islands.
Re: Hacking apgsearch
Derive each pattern from a seed integer, in the same way that the official apgsearch derives a pattern from a SHA256 hash. Before running the pattern, take all of its reflections and rotations, and reverse-engineer their respective seeds. Run the pattern only if its seed is the lowest among its orientations.praosylen wrote:Generating only one orientation of each pattern would probably be efficient enough by far to produce an increase in performance, but I have no idea how to do that.
A further performance speedup could be gained by considering the corner cells of the pattern. Try the above paragraph on 2x2 bounding boxes, and it turns out that you can throw out 10 of every 16 seed integers automatically. So, if you derive the corner cells of a pattern from the last four binary digits of a seed, you know that certain seed integers modulo 16 will be automatically invalid, and you can skip them.
EDIT: Correction; 10 of 16 patterns cannot be discarded for M=/=N, but some still can.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
That's not what I meant. I don't know how to do that and then incorporate that algorithm into the script without ruining the other modifications I made. There are some restrictions in the script with the loop variable being used as the soup counter, and I can't really just skip some soups or it doesn't know when to stop. As I said, it's a dirty hack, so I'm not too invested in adding that implementation; it would take too much time and there's a very good chance I would just make a very big mess of things.Kazyan wrote:Derive each pattern from a seed integer, in the same way that the official apgsearch derives a pattern from a SHA256 hash.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
Is there any apgsearch variant that you can run and it tallies objects of the current pattern? like:
Would return:
xp2_7 1
xs4_33 1
xs5_253 1
Code: Select all
x = 9, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
2o$2o$6b2o$6bobo$7bo3$3b3o!
xp2_7 1
xs4_33 1
xs5_253 1

With apgsearch hacked 12-27-15
What's error-correcting phase?It seems to be screwing up the search and making it slower, things like still lifes and oscillators classed as gliders under xq1_(code), and xq1_0, which is impossible. It only seems to occur when no commas occur in the rule nodes.

Nathaniel once made a program that did something like this.drc wrote:Is there any apgsearch variant that you can run and it tallies objects of the current pattern?
It became the Online Life-Like CA Soup Search, and you know what happened to that.

Re: Hacking apgsearch
The latest update to apgsearch-v0.54+0.Ni:
Changes since the previous version:
The RuleGenerator.testHensel function is also useful for stand-alone use:
Update 2-6-16:
Updated Hensel-test.py, changing v to n.
Changes since the previous version:
- Optionally uploads results to Catagolue (using Alan Hensel's rule notation; a new function RuleGenerator.testHensel determines the rule notation), but still displays results in the original format locally.
- Pseudo-pattern separation can now be turned off (i.e. the script can census pseudo-still-lives and oscillators now) when not uploading results.
- Somewhat-updated common-names dict, with the names of the most common pseudo-SLs and pseudo-oscillators in Life and dots, dominoes, and duoplets included.
- Sqrtspp optimization is buggy, often alternates between 9, 10, and 11 before settling on 10.
- Glider tagalongs (such as this one: ) are sometimes erroneously separated, resulting in their being classified as pathological objects.
Code: Select all
x = 6, y = 5, rule = B3/S23-a 2o$obo$o$3bo$3b3o!
- Results in no visible errors but many pathological objects detected when a rule table has been modified after apgsearch has already been run in that rule.
The RuleGenerator.testHensel function is also useful for stand-alone use:
Code: Select all
#Hensel-test.py
#To setup, copy this into a file, name it "hensel-test.py",
# and put the file in Golly's scripts folder.
#Enter the name of the rule whose Hensel notation you want
# to determine, and this script copies the result to the clipboard.
