Keep in mind that Golly emulates strobing rules (of which B0/S is an example) in a certain way, so what you see is not necessarily the actual (raw) behavior of the CA.

Apparently, B0/S8 is not a strobing rule.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B0/S8

Indeed. Although the universe will get born on the first generation, the newly-born parts then survive in subsequent generations, so it's not got that "strobing" effect.

It's still a B0 rule, which means that Golly etc. will not display it "raw".
