"Rocker" Rules

[Extrementhusiast]

An extension of my "Reverse Generations Rules", this family of rules is essentially a combination of said family (RG) and ordinary Generations rules, hence the name "rocker". (It essentially "rocks" between life and death.) Here is the rocker rule B3/S124567/Cbeg1/Cend1:

Code: Select all
