[Golly-test] Random number test

[Tomas R. <ro...@gm...>]

Does anyone here have access to a Windows machine and the Microsoft C++
compiler (any version)?  If you do, would you be willing to run the
following
program and send me the output?  It may take a few seconds to run:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  srand(1);
  int g = rand() ;
  for (long long cnt=1; ; cnt++) {
    int r = rand() ;
    if ((r & (r - 1)) == 0)
       cout << cnt << " " << r << endl ;
    if (r == g) {
       cout << cnt << endl ;
       exit(0) ;
    }
  }
}

Thanks!

[Golly-test] Golly turns 20

[Andrew T. <and...@gm...>]

This year is Golly's 20th anniversary (0.1 was released in July 2005)
so I thought it might be fun to do a special 5.0 release some time in
the next few months.  I've already created a new app icon (with the
help of Claude):

https://trevorrow.com/golly/golly_icon.svg

Other changes I've done so far:

https://sourceforge.net/p/golly/code/ci/master/tree/Help/changes.html

Further changes I'm hoping to do (no promises!):

* Support RLE files with @RULE data included at the end (to agree
with LifeViewer).  I think this is a nicer option to replace some
of the zip files like calcyman-primer.zip.

* Native support for Margolus neighborhood rules (probably add it
to the LtL algo rather than create a new algo).

* Spruce up the interface with nicer, larger icons for the toolbar buttons.
Increasing the width of the various bars to 48px would allow us to
use 32x32px icons.

If anybody has suggestions for the 5.0 release then now is the time
to make them.  I'm giving myself until the end of August to work on
Golly (and some of that time will be taken up trying to sell my house!).

Cheers to all, and much thanks for your contributions over the
last two decades!

Andrew

[Golly-test] Acknowledgement from Kenichi Morita

[Tomas R. <ro...@gm...>]

In his recent book, "Reversible World of Cellular Automata: Fantastic
Phenomena
and Computing in Artificial Reversible Universe", Kenichi Morita writes in
the
front matter under "Acknowledgements":

"""
First, I express my thanks to the developing team of Golly.  It is
definitely
an excellent CA simulator.  Without Golly, the work given in this book has
not been accomplished.
"""

He has more very kind things to say about Golly throughout the book, and he
provides an extensive and well-documented file set to accompany the book
that illustrates his constructions and machines.

I thought I'd let everyone know.  I suspect the number of people who have
used and enjoyed the program far far outweigh the number of people who
take the time to thank you all.

[Golly-test] Recent Chinese Publication Mentions Golly

[William R. B. <bil...@gm...>]

Perhaps the readers of this list would like to see, in Chinese and English,
a recent Chinese publication that mentions Golly.

[Golly-test] Golly can crash on all M1/M2/M3 Macs?

[Andrew T. <and...@gm...>]

I recently bought an M3 Macbook Air and was rather disappointed
to see that Golly crashed whenever I tried to run an overlay script
like 1D.lua or 3D.lua or overlay-demo.lua.

I've managed to avoid the crash by modifying some dodgy code
in the overlay's DrawThickEllipse routine, but I'm puzzled why
I haven't seen any bug reports about Golly crashing like this.
Maybe it only occurs on the newer M3 Macs?

If you have an M1 or M2 Mac, please try running those scripts
and see if Golly crashes (it's not 100% reproducible so you
might have to try a few times).

Re: [Golly-test] Remove optional Perl support from Golly?

[William R. B. <bil...@gm...>]

Dear Reader:

I finally have an idea for the improvement of Golly.  It is, I think, a
simple request to satisfy.

It would be very nice if Golly supported 'text' in its configuration files,
like '.mc'   I would very much like to
annotate configurations, especially those that are included in Golly.  The
example given for the Partial
Constructor is rather crude.  Is there a better way available in Golly?

For what it's worth, I also support removing the Perl support.

Re: [Golly-test] Remove optional Perl support from Golly?

[Tomas R. <ro...@gm...>]

I'm totally fine with this.  Supporting Perl and Python
seems redundant, and clearly Python has the attention
these days.  If there are any residual Perl scripts that
need transcribing to Python I can take that on.

Actually I'm quite a lot in favor of it, to tell the truth.

[Golly-test] Remove optional Perl support from Golly?

[Andrew T. <and...@gm...>]

It's currently possible to build a version of Golly that supports
running Perl scripts.  I doubt anybody is actually doing that
these days, especially given the problems we had trying to
keep up with ABI changes whenever a new version of Perl
was released, so I'd like to remove ALL Perl-related code.

This will simplify quite a lot of code, especially when Golly
tries to detect what type of script to run when the user
selects File > Run Clipboard. (Currently you can get a silly
message about Perl if you accidentally have RLE data
in the clipboard.)

Anybody here use Perl with Golly, or know someone who does?
Any objections to removing Perl as an option?

Re: [Golly-test] cleaning up . . . golly shirts ?

Hi Tom,

I'm a size large (men's) and my address is 8 Manning Drive, Barrington
RI 02806 (USA). I'd love to have a Golly shirt of some kind, I didn't
know there was any such thing. Let me know what I can pay.

Re: [Golly-test] cleaning up . . . golly shirts ?

[David M. <lag...@gm...>]

Large t-shirt. Don't see prices or notes on shipping...so is there a
preferred food bank or something I could make a donation to in your name?
Or do I need just to look a bit more deeply.

[Golly-test] cleaning up . . . golly shirts ?

[Tomas R. <ro...@gm...>]

I have a few Golly shirts left, both the blue T-shirts (which I like a lot;
great
colors and fit and nice material) and the dress shirts (which I like less;
the
embroidery curls and won't stay flat when wearing it), but it's still nice.

If anyone wants either or both of the two types, please send me your size
and mailing address.  There's only a few of each, so first-come,
first-serve.

Re: [Golly-test] webGolly 4.2 is broken?

[Andrew T. <and...@gm...>]

Ok, I think the problems with webGolly are now fixed.  I've uploaded the
fixed version
to the webapp directory on sf so please try it out in your browser (you'll
probably need to
force reload the page, which can take a while).

@Dave: I've also committed all the pattern changes suggested by GUYUT6J.
I'll wait a day or so before doing the (hopefully) final 4.2 builds.

Yep, I've spent most of this afternoon doing the same thing.
Just committed the necessary changes that you also discovered.

> However I can't yet get it to load RLE (from the clipboard or a file or
from the tree of patterns on the left).

Same here.  It seems that Module.cwrap has changed for the worse.
For example, it doesn't seem to know about the OpenFile call in
OpenClickedFile
(in main.cpp). Anyway, late here so I'm off to bed!
