1. Mods to ofind.c
- Reports last partial every deeping iteration (Yeah, I know it isn't much)
- Have to compile with -m32 on Windows (AFAIK also present in the vanilla ofind.c)
I forgot the details, but line 91 can be adjusted to use more memory.
Edit: Moved below; Direct link
2. golly frontend, ofind.lua
- Select one or two *working* partial rows from a partial oscillator in Golly.
e.g. An example selection would be the State 3,4 cells in this pattern:
Code: Select all
x = 18, y = 27, rule = LifeHistory
8.2A$4.2A.4B.2A$3.A.8B.A$3.A.A6BA.A$.3A.A.ABDCDCD3CD$A4.2ABACD2C4DC$.
3A.A6BA.3A$3.A4B2A4BA$3.BA3B2A3BAB$4.BA6BAB$5.B6AB$3.A.B6AB.A$.3A.B2A
2B2AB.3A$A4.B2A2B2AB4.A$.3A.B2A2B2AB.3A$3.A.B6AB.A$5.B6AB$4.BA6BAB$3.
BA3B2A3BAB$3.A4B2A4BA$.3A.A6BA.3A$A4.2AB2AB2A4.A$.3A.A.A2BA.A.3A$3.A.
A6BA.A$3.A.8B.A$4.2A.4B.2A$8.2A!
[[ THUMBNAIL ]]
- Enter the period as 7 (or whatever period of which the oscillator you are searching for)
- The script copies the necessary rows to the clipboard.
- paste this to make an input file like this: (p7hw2.txt)
- And run ofind < p7hw2.txt (and optionally > p7hw2.log.txt to redirect the logs into a file)
