Ruby Problem

Consider the top left cell in the initial generation which is a 't'. The only thing that a 't' can change to is a '.', yet the next generation shows it as a 'H' ? --Paddy3118 20:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Does the Forth or TCL output agree with the Python? It would be good to know that at least two agree :-) --Paddy3118 20:14, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Python and Forth are correct. I've marked Ruby incorrect. --IanOsgood 20:22, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

At a guess, the Ruby code is changing a tail into a head directly. Not quite what the transition table states... —Donal Fellows 20:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. I read the transition table incorrectly. --glennj 00:57, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Python libraries

I tried running the python implementation, but I don't seem to have the requisite libraries installed on my Ubuntu laptop. Use of Template:Libheader and filling of the subsequent links would be helpful for visitors in the same boat. --Michael Mol 06:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
