i tried to optimize my game of life patch and removed the sequencer functionality: gol_v2.pd
when i tried to make a stand alone app from the patch (for making calculations faster) i realized that offbo() in an ofelia patch does not work as a stand alone app (linux and windows - same with the ofelia fbo example...) while the offbo() example from open frameworks and the ofelia fbo example opened with pd does work.

i updated the patch for ofelia v4 (should also work with v3). saving patterns does work now.
ofelia4_gridxconwaygenerations_B.pd

@MikkelM since [savestate] is a newer object, i would try to use the current PD version (it exists since 0.49 http://msp.ucsd.edu/Pd_documentation/x5.htm).

with [line] you have a ramp. you could also use two oscillators and blend them (also with [line]).

[seq] from the cyclone library.

@seb-harmonik.ar regarding rpole~ as a sample counter i made the experience that it stops after a few minutes. i tried to replace it with expr~: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/12644/vanilla-ofeliasamplecounter

here i tried to generate midi sequences with one-liners: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10797/algorithmic-compositions-from-one-line-of-code

@Butahuruf [del 500] ?

@RetroMaximus Interesting insights. It reminds me of the fact that the first prototypes of Ableton Live were programmed with Max (and it is kind of funny that Max for Live is now a part of Ableton - would be great to integrate PD into Ableton too).

@Gabriel-Lecup You are right, you can replace [fudiformat] with [list] (or send everything that you want to compare as a list, then you need none of them).
