<p><em>Play your Wordle Share score in <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life> Conway's Life!</a></em></p>
<p>
<p> Hey, nerds, isn't it funny how the Wordle Scores can look like a glider in that old computer programming exercise, Conway's Life?</p> <img src="https://conwaylife.com/w/images/e/e2/Lwss.png" alt="Glider image from Conwaylife.org, it looks like an 8-bit staple gun" align= float  />

<ol>
<li>
<p> Paste your wordle share below and submit to convert it to a Conway's Life file so you can run it (to learn more about Conway's Life, read <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life> this)</a>.</p>


<form id="wordle-form" name="wordle-form" action="<%= $ORIGIN_PAGE =%>" method="POST" class="flow">

<label for="wordle">Wordle Share Chart:</label>
<textarea id="wordle" name="wordle-result" rows="9" cols="50" placeholder="<%= $defaulttext =%>" style="vertical-align: middle class="lv-rle"">
<%= $wordle %>
</textarea>
</p>
<br>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click "Submit" and an RLE format file made for Conway's Game of Life will appear in the box below and get loaded into the Life Viewer.</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</li>
<li>
<p>Watch your Wordle score play LIFE!</p>
<!--viewer container-->
<div class="viewer" class="flow"> 
<label for="wordle">
<p>If the conversion is successful, you should see your Wordle converted to a Run Length Encoded Conway Life file in this box:</p>
</label>

<textarea id="life" name="life-file" rows="9" cols="50" style="vertical-align: middle" class="lv-rle" class="flow">
<%= $rle %>
</textarea>
<p>If the RLE is correct, it should be loaded in the Life Viewer, and so you are ready to go!</p>

<ul>
<li><p>For best results with the Life Viewer, you may adjust the default Zoom and the playback speed, then press the Play button:</p>
<canvas height=400 width=400></canvas></li>
<li><p>Press "[Pause]" when it seems stable. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>										
</ol>
<!--end viewer container-->

</form>
<p>

<p> This should work with the share/copy button in wordle, or copy/pasting your friends' wordles out of Discord or wherever as well. See whose Wordle Score runs the coolest!

<p>
<strong>If it doesn't seem to be working:</strong>
<ol>
<li><p> If there is extra text or lines in your paste, you might not get a valid file in the box above, so look and make sure it looks like a proper RLE file, for example:
<p>
<pre code>
#C Wordle 235 3/6
x = 5,y = 3
boobo$bobbo$ooooo!

[[GPS 3
ZOOM 23
COLOR ALIVE LIME
COLOR BACKGROUND BLUE
STOP 100
GRID
]]


</pre code>

<p>(the main thing that needs to be right are the first 3 lines. If the 3rd line has any : symbols, just try deleting them. The stuff between double brackets aren't part of the RLE but are comments that set some defaults for the Life Viewer)</p>
<p>For details about the Life RLE file format above, read <a href=https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Run_Length_Encoded>this</a>.</p>
				
</li>

<li>You can also copy the contents of the Conway Life box above and try it somewhere else:
<ol>
<li>go to a Conway's Life site, such as <a href= https://copy.sh/life/> this one at copy.sh</a> or <a href="https://lazyslug.com/lifeviewer/">this one at lazyslug.com</a> and load and run your file.</li>
	<ol>
		<li> specifically for the one at copy.sh:</li>
		<li> Press the [Import] button at the top</li>
		<li> paste in your Life file contents in the box and press [Import]</li>
		<li> It will put up a box telling you it loaded your Wordle, press [OK]</li>
		<li> Press the [Run] button and watch your Wordle score play LIFE!</li>
		</ol>
