I THINK I FOUND A NEW STILL LIFE!!!!
I was messing around in golly and found something that looked like a smaller version of pond. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think it's on the still life wiki page. (http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Category:Still_lifes)
Some day, you too will feel the unbridled joy of a 9 year old who thinks they've found something cool.

Re: I think I found a new still life
Hello, and welcome to the forums!guywholikesspace wrote:I was messing around in golly and found something that looked like a smaller version of pond. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think it's on the still life wiki page. (http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Category:Still_lifes)
Since pond has only 8 cells, it's not surprising that all still lifes smaller than it were discovered in the early years of Game of Life exploration. In fact, there are only 12 of them (full list), and they all have wiki pages by now. I don't really know which of these still lifes you were referring to, as you didn't post it, but I think the closest thing to "a smaller version of pond" is a tub:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
bo$obo$bo!
It is also quite interesting to enumerate small still lifes in order to answer questions like "How many still lifes with N bits are there?" and "What is the smallest still life with the property X?". I think we have enumerated a few billion of them so far.
----
Since you are new here, I think I can give you some advice.
Firstly, read the rules. They contain a lot of useful info, including even the notice that new still lifes aren't interesting.
Secondly, familiarize yourself with other people's work by reading these forums.
And thirdly, please remove all caps on the topic title. It's really annoying.
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hmm. How did you make that voting post???

If there weren't a 10-item limit, this would be perfect for the POTY contest.

Re: I THINK I FOUND A NEW STILL LIFE!!!!
I don't think so, given that the voting system of these polls is not at all flexible, and adding anonymity to Pattern of the Year would probably do more harm than good.calcyman wrote:If there weren't a 10-item limit, this would be perfect for the POTY contest.

I'd like to note that I was 9 years old when I created this thread, just to provide some context for y'all. Unbelievably, I still had the login to this account saved somewhere.... sorry for all of this

Re: I THINK I FOUND A NEW STILL LIFE!!!!
yeah, at first i was like that (when i "discovered" the glider's parent, one of my very first posts here), but now, despite being most often in the sandbox i actually contribute useful stuff (in oca), so... it's never too late to change!
and if i, the completely offtopic guy who does everything at random, can become part of something other than random memes in the sandbox, you can too.

Re: I THINK I FOUND A NEW STILL LIFE!!!!
For me, it’s the opposite way around. Before July or something this year, I was actually contributing, mostly in oscillators, but after that point, there kind of really wasn’t anything in the related threads, so I went to The Sandbox.haaaaaands wrote: ↑December 10th, 2023, 6:51 amyeah, at first i was like that (when i "discovered" the glider's parent, one of my very first posts here), but now, despite being most often in the sandbox i actually contribute useful stuff (in oca), so... it's never too late to change!

if you mean creating a rule, technically the rule i posted in the interesting rules thread counts as there were no search results prior to my postBokaBB wrote: ↑December 24th, 2023, 5:35 amWhat about doing OCA?hotcrystal0 wrote: ↑December 23rd, 2023, 11:41 pmFor me, it’s the opposite way around.
