Summary: Tool for exploring Game of Life and other automata |
Key features: - Supports both bounded and unbounded universes. - Supports various topologies (plane, torus, Klein bottle, etc.). - Supports multi-state universes (cells can have up to 256 states). - Includes the QuickLife algorithm. - Uses the HashLife algorithm to see large patterns evolve at huge time scales. - Supports many different rules, including Wolfram's 1D rules, WireWorld, Generations, and John von Neumann's 29-state CA. - Uses the RuleLoader algorithm to load custom rules. - Reads RLE, macrocell, Life 1.05/1.06, dblife, and MCell files. - Can also read common graphic formats: BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF. - Can extract patterns, scripts and rules from zip files. - Downloads files from online archives. - Includes a pattern collection. - Paste in patterns from the clipboard. - Unlimited undo/redo. - Unbounded zooming out for astronomical patterns. - Auto fit option keeps a generating pattern within view. - Full screen option (no menu/status/tool/scroll bars). - Supports multiple layers, including cloned layers. - HTML-based help with an integrated Life Lexicon. - Scriptable via Lua or Python. - User-configurable keyboard shortcuts.

* Sat May 25 2024 Antoine Belvire <antoine.belvire@opensuse.org> - Update to version 4.3: * Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm. * Adjusted Super conversion scripts to handle Investigator rules, including a new toInvestigator.lua conversion script that will be mapped by default to Alt+I whenever Golly creates a new GollyPrefs file. * Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua conversion scripts. * Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency with LifeViewer.. * Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20) cells per pixel. * Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms (changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a corrupted universe). * Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus. * Fixed orientation of Custom neighborhood in the Larger than Life algorithm. * Fixed an assertion in progress bar update when downloading a file from a web server using gzip compression. * Better support for .rule files with very long lines. An error message is now displayed if a line exceeds the maximum length of 4,000 characters. * The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly (assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded). * 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will display the current pattern's comments in the help window. You can also click on the new "i" button. * The Larger than Life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard neighborhood (ND). * New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard as a pattern. * Modified goto.lua to check for a number too large for Lua (if so then the script exits and recommends using goto.py instead). * File > Run Clipboard displays a nicer error message if the clipboard doesn't contain Lua/Python code. * Removed optional support for Perl. * Updated Lua to version 5.4.6. * Added a query command (for Lua or Python) that displays a modal dialog with customizable button labels. * Lots of new patterns. * Reformatted and renamed many Larger than Life and Generations patterns to use Golly native HROT format and/or an .rle extension instead of .mcl. * Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle (replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle). * The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been modified (broken links deleted or fixed, and the formatting of paragraphs made more consistent). * Added new rules required by some of the new patterns. * Thu May 18 2023 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de> - Trim unquantified wording from descriptions. * Thu Apr 27 2023 antoine.belvire@opensuse.org - Update to version 4.2: * Fixed a bug in script commands like g.setpos that accept integers as strings. * Fixed a number of bugs that could result in an "illegal operation while calculating" warning. * Performance improvements to Larger than Life NL (Triangular) and NB (Checkerboard) rules. * Updated Lua to version 5.4.4. * Added support for https links when downloading files from online archives. * New patterns, mostly in OCA (non-Conway's Life) rules, plus updates to Life stamp collections. * Moved/renamed whiteboard-17c2415-spaceship.rle, sierpinski-builder.rle, wolfram22.mc. * Reorganized patterns in HashLife folder into subfolders "Construction", "Eventful", and "Metacell". * Links and dates in many pattern comments updated to standard format. - Changes of versions 4.1, 4.0, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.7: See https://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/changes.html. - Drop Perl dependencies: Perl scripting has been replaced by Lua scripting. golly is built against a patched version of Lua included in sources. - Modify desktop file to run with GDK_BACKEND=x11: Allow to run the application built against wxWidgets without EGL support. - Refreshed spec file. * Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru - Create sub-package golly-devel-static to provide the static library needed for shared builds and to fix compilation on Fedora. * Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru - Add and package desktop file - Delete golly-zlib.patch + Set ZLIB_LDFLAGS in %{build} instead - Fix rpmlint error: devel-file-in-non-devel-package + Create package golly-devel to package all devel files * Tue Mar 18 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru - Update to 2.6 for openSUSE and Fedora: * Fixed a nasty bug that could cause Golly to crash when doing a paste. * Fixed a bug that could cause the paste image to disappear after a flip/rotate. * Tool bar buttons are no longer disabled when the main window is inactive. * The save settings in Preferences > Layer are now obeyed by scripts. For example, let's assume you've ticked the option to be asked to save changes on creating a new pattern. If the current layer has changes and you run a script that calls new() then you'll get the standard dialog asking if you want to save those changes. If you cancel the dialog then the script is aborted. * To avoid potential data loss, you now get a warning if you save a non-starting generation and earlier changes exist. The warning can be disabled in Preferences > Layer. * Created an online archive for very large patterns. * Thu Jun 09 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org - use shared zlib (zlib.patch) * Thu Jun 02 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org - updated to 2.2 * Tue Feb 23 2010 prusnak@suse.cz - created package
