Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    Obligatory "custom GoL types pl0x, it'd be super easy to implement" comment. (Actually now that I think of it, the last time I had suggested that was years ago, I could probably just code it myself now)

    kazitor: maybe TTAN always did that and I just forgot ... kazitor: Yes, GOLD is supposed to shimmer slightly. Tron205: no way to create custom life types without modifying the source code

    Tron205: the ability to do that has been suggested a few times, but as far as I know there's no existing in-game method. Golly (http://golly.sourceforge.net/) is excellent software for mucking around with CAs.

    Is there a way to make custom lifes in TPT by changing their rulestring? For example I want a life with a rule B90/S120, how do I make it?

    Is gold meant to that weird shimmering? Confirmed it's not just my eyes via multiple deco-related tests.

    That's different from previous behaviour, right? Any idea why it changed?

    oh, I forgot to look at the code, but that's because the search ui crashes in the snapshot so I started looking at that instead. But I can confirm that the code specifically looks at how many TTAN are next to it.

    oh wait, this code is a bit weird and complicated, let me understand this first. You might be right.

    Still pretty sure it's just 8 TTAN and nothing to do with anything touching, lol

    further testing: it appears that, for titanium to block pressure in a cell, there must be titanium in that cell touching (by edges) two other bits of titanium, wherever. So if a line is straddling the grid, nothing will be blocked at the end.
