Hi, would be nice to have some kind of video of how this evolve(s,d) over time, ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 09:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Run a Puffer Train on a Laptop

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I Ray Calvin Baker (talk) 02:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC) have started exploring how to use the QB64 BASIC compiler available via the Wikipedia. It brought new excitement to an old LIFE04.bas program I had been using for my personal amusement and edification. I have succeeded in tweaking the old program (and some data sets that go with it) to the extent that I can see a STABILIZED "Puffer Train" on the screen of my laptop. (New laptop, new Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Most of my C++ work -- no longer works! But QB64 has been wonderful for me.)Reply

What's the big deal? In 1985, William Poundstone, in his book _The_Recursive_Universe_ (Cosmic Complexity and the Limits of Scientific Knowledge), page 111, wrote, "The first successful puffer train discovered uses a B heptomino engine escorted by two lightweight spaceships. Its behavior is far more complex than anyone imagined -- it cannot be followed fully on a home computer."

The years have taken their toll on yet another "It can't be done" statement!

The simple, lowly NOTEPAD.exe editor should be quite adequate for extracting both the QB64 BASIC SOURCE CODE for LIFE04.bas, and a data file, PUFFERTR.LIF, from this page. Be sure to use the special option designed for the Puffer Train! The display screen has been split into three sections, and connected end-to-end via "star gates" implemented via software. This allows over 6000 generations, before anything except escaping gliders hits a wall; well beyond stabilization of the "irregular tail", which occurs at generation 5533.

I am still seeking the best ways to share computer files; this may not yet be "best practice".

QB64 Source code for "LIFE04.bas"; compile it to create "LIFE04.exe":

CAUTION! Some lines of code may have been TOO LONG to go through the transmission process! You may need to splice these back together to obtain a clean compile.

RESULTS OF MY SECOND TEST (BEGIN)

My first attempt failed miserably, because I downloaded the files on this page from within "edit" mode. DON'T TRY DOWNLOADING THIS WAY1

Here is what I recommend.


(1) From your desktop, use NOTEPAD.exe to create a new, empty file 
named "LIFE04.bas". Leave this file open in a window on your 
computer's desktop.

(2) In the window for this Wikipedia page, simply select ALL of the 
text (there is a lot of it) from the QB64 Source Code box, below. 
If you were simply READING this page (NOT trying to edit it), 
you should be ready to continue.

(3) Press CTRL+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard.

(4) Switch (move your mouse) back to the open file in NOTEPAD.

(5) Press CTRL+V to paste the text from the clipboard into 
your open "LIFE04.bas" file.

(6) Save your newly downloaded LIFE04.bas Source Code file.

(7) Repeat steps (1) through (6) with these differences: 
You want an new file named "PUFFERTR.LIF" open in NOTEPAD 
on your desktop. You want to select the text from the 
SECOND box below (that is, the DATA file).

(8) You should now have two new files, LIFE04.bas and 
PUFFERTR.LIF on your computer. 

(9) Use the QB64 program (what? you haven't downloaded such 
a useful tool from Wikipedia yet?) to compile the Source Code 
and run your new LIFE04.exe app. Follow the program instructions 
to read the data file, let your computer run about four or 
five hours, and watch 6000 generations of the PUFFER TRAIN. 

I hope this works well for you. ~~~~

I put the four tildes ("~") for my digital signature in that last update, but they didn't work, because they were inside a section of text protected by the "PRE" and "/PRE" HTML tags. I want to reassure you that I fully intended to make that update, so here is my (correct) signature now.

I hope a working version of the program, with some prepared data, will be more fun than just a video.

The Wonderful World of Beta Test

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I was so pleased that I was able to display the stabilized PUFFER TRAIN on the screen of a PC! But imagine my embarassment when I discovered serious problems with OTHER data files.

(1) Some traces of the "split screen" were left, to mess up other non-split displays.

(2) The population census worked properly ONLY when "zoom%" was 1. The reported population lags one generation benind, but I see no practical way to anticipate how many "live" cells there will be in the "current" generation, except to count them after the display has been updated.

(3) Keys "1", "2", and "3" failed to increment the Y coordinate, due to a stray key press during an edit.

I hope this revision, Thursday, 2012, March 15 06:20 gets things running properly.

Data file "PUFFERTR.LIF" for program "LIFE04.exe

This file contains three "pictures". (1) "PUFFER TRAIN with wisp"; This is actually generation 10. The "wisp" is the first few pixels of "exhaust" left by the puffer train. (2) "Upside down puffer train without wisp"; this is a good place to start (it's generation 0). It is important NOT to try to reflect the data in these files; they have been carefully tailored to fit the "split screen" mode of the LIFE04 program. (3) A repeat of picture 2, but with an "ecologist" (a variant of the puffer train) near the right edge of the screen to facilitate my testing of the "star gate". Unlike the puffer train, the ecologist leaves no exhaust.

Can a Glider go around a Corner?

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

,NO! Gliders always glide in straight lines. Howerer, a SIGNAL, such as can be conveyed by a glider CAN be transmitted around a corner. I engineered the following as a way to do this.

Just use the first "picture" from this file. It uses three "Thin guns"; two (with both red and blue pixels) are control signal generators, to detect an incoming signal, send out new gliders in two directions, then clean up some stray blocks and beehives afterward. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do engineering with this system. It looks a lot like an animated circuit diagram when it's in operation. Spacing and timing is critical when designing LIFE machinery.

I've done what "cannot be done"; I hope you can enjoy it!

OOPS! This Picture Makes It Look Like a Glider CAN Go around a Corner!

There are some beautiful animated pictures in Commons. Let me see if I can use one here.

[[1]] Racetrack from Conway's Game of Life

I need to post this with my contributions to the "Conway's Game of Life" talk page.
It's a complex race track which exhibits several wonderful mechanisms of "Machine Theory".
I have sucessfully reverse engineered this picture; I am working on a data file which works 
with my QB64 BASIC implementation of a working program. 

Never before have I seen:
(1) a contained shuttle (magenta), which sends gliders (yellow) around a corner, 
(2) a linear "not" gate (green) -- no right angle turn here! 
(3) such a very compact "thin gun" (green), 
(4) space ship eaters (blue), 
(5) glider (yellow) and space ship (red) collision, which sends out a glider (yellow) 
(6) glider streams which convert a third incoming glider (yellow) 
    into a space ship (red)
at a right angle, 

William Poundstone, in _The_Recursive_Universe_, documents:
(7) a space ship factory (grreen) pages 108 - 110 , 
(8) a pentadecathlon (magenta) reflecting a glider (yellow) pages 44, 45,
(9) The kick-back collision of two gliders (yellow) pages 198 - 200 and others, 
(10) the glider gun (green) pages 105 - 108, 
(11) the eater (blue) pages 38 -40, 
etc.

The color coding in the animation is very helpful -- but 
this is an animation, not a working program.

	EXPLANATION 

A signal propagates around this tortuous racetrack. Sometimes it is embodied 
as a Glider. Sometimes, it is embodied as a Spaceship. Sometimes, it is a gap 
in a regular stream of Gliders. 

The rows of blue or navy Blocks are merely decorative. They never interact 
with anything else during this simulation. 

1. Glider Gun "A" fires a Glider stream into Corner "B".
       Notice that there is a gap in the Glider stream at start-up time, 
       between Corner "B" and the "Linear NOT Gate", "C". 
       This gap is the racing signal.
       After the racing signal traverses the entire racetrack, 
       it removes one glider from the stream, leaving a gap to carry the signal. 
2. Corner "B" deflects The Glider stream into the "Linear NOT Gate", "C",
       which is really just a normal Glider Gun, 
       except incoming Gliders which approach just right 
       temporarily inhibit the formation of new Gliders. 
3. The "Linear NOT Gate", "C", converts the incoming gap into an outgoing Glider.
4. The Glider "bounces" off of Corner "D", and eventually encounters 
       a stream of Spaceships. 
5. A stream of Spaceships is created by the "Spaceship Factory", which is 
       composed of Glider Guns "E", "F", and "G". 
       I initialized the "Spaceship Factory" by including a temporary Block, 
       which removes a premature Glider, before it destroys one of the Glider Guns. 
6. The rightmost "Crab", "H", removes every other Spaceship from the stream. 
       (I call it a "crab", because I think it looks somewhat like a crab.
	You can call it a "Grab", because that's what it does, or 
        you can call it a "Spaceship Eater", because that's what it is.) 
       This leaves a gap in the Spaceship stream, through which the Glider 
       returning from the Pentadecathlon "E" can safely pass.
6. One Spaceship and the incoming Glider collide and are destroyed, but a new Glider, 
       heading toward Pentadecathlon "E", is formed from the debris of the collision. 
7. When the incoming Glider collides with the Pentadecathlon, "E", it is destroyed, 
       but a new outgoing Glider, heading in the opposite direction, is formed 
       from the collision debris. The Pentadecaqthlon "E" continues its oscillation unharmed. 
8. All of the surviving Spaceships in the stream are destroyed by Crab "I".

Notice the similarities between the streams of Gliders (two streams are parallel, 
but moving in opposite directions) produced by the "Spaceship Factory", 
Guns "E", "F", and "G", and the streams of produced by Gun "K" and Compact Thin Glider Guns  
"M" and "N". These Glider streams (parallel, but moving in opposite directions) interact 
with the incoming racing Glider to form a nes Spaceship.

9. Glider Gun "K" fires a stream of Gliders into Eater "L".
10. Two Glider Guns, "M" and "N", comprise a "Compact Thin Gun". 
       If you number the Gliders in the streams from "M" and "N" properly, 
       you can see that "odd" numbered Gliders collide to form a temporary Eater. 
       The next even numbered Glider from Gun "N" destroys itself and the temporary Eater, 
       which allows the even numbered Glider from Gun "M" to escape in the 
       thinned Glider stream.
       A temporary Eater precursor and three Gliders are required to start the 
       "Compact Thin Gun" so that it emits a Glider stream with the correct phase.
       An incoming glider (the racing signal) then may interact with a Glider 
       from the "Compact Thin Gun" stream and the Glider stream passing between 
       Gun "K" and Eater "L", to form a new Spaceship. 
11. Gliders not consumed by the formation of a nes Spaceship are destroyed by Eater "O", 
       which regenerates itself. 
12. Glider Guns "P" and "Q" comprise a slightly different form of "Compact Thin Gun". 
       Temporary Blocks are formed by collisions of Gliders from each Glider stream. 
       Then a Glider from Gun "Q" removes the Block, just in time to allow a 
       Glider from Gun "P" to pass through. Gaps in the resulting "thinned" stream 
       are required, to allow the racing signal to pass through, after it is reflected 
       by the "kickback reaction" with a Glider from Gun "S". 
13. Eater "R" removes excess Gliders from the "Compact Thin Gun", "P" and "Q".
14. Glider Gun "S" fires a stream of Gliders into Eater "T". 
       When the racing signal Glider encounters this stream, two Gliders 
       are destroyed, but a new Glider, heading for Corner "U" is formed 
       from the collision debris.
15. The new racing signal Glider passes through a gap in the thinned stream, 
       and "bounces" off Corner "U".
16. The "bounced" racing signal Glider meeets the Glider stream from Gun "A" 
       in the vanish reaction, leaving a gap in the stream to carry the signal.

The cycle repeats indefinitely (forever). This entire configuration is a 
very long period oscillator. 

Your grandparents may remember Rube Goldberg's cartoon contraptions. You have
John Horton Conway's "Life" game, and can create your own, even more fantastic 
"Rube Goldberg" machines.

The end of of the "RacetrackChart.txt" file.

The colors I used in my LIFE04.exe program were not designed or intended for such a display as this animation presents.

A Cellular space is NOT really a Universal Turing Machine.

Both theoretical devices have the same computational power -- to compute anything which is "computable". 
Both are "theoretical" devices, because both require potentially infinite storage capacity (impossible 
to achieve in actual, practical devices. But I enjoy having 4 gigabytes in my pocket, on my flash drive.) 
I think the real reason for serious interest in Conway's LIFE game is that it has the potentiol for 
Universal Construction, as well as the capability of Universal computation. 
If you follow the activity of the puffer train (data set below) long enough to see the pattern, 
you will agree that the puffer train would eventually use up any finite amount of space.
