You have the period 2 bit covering the wrong cells!

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory

It doesn't need a rotor:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory

Hmm...

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A.A$.A.C$3.A$3.ACA$6.A$5.AC!

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3

Isn't this a rip off of Solitaire of Life but with an uneccessary extra condition?

Yeah, and the additional condition wasn't even there at first. But it's not the first time Hunting has copied something like this...

I saw that "Solitaire of Life" topic at first. But one day when I remember that game, I cannot find that topic(I don't know why I do that). So I post a copy of it

This response makes me believe that you weren't just doing it to get attention even less. How does it make any sense to just copy something if you know it exists? If you were unaware it existed, or made a significantly different variant at the start, it would be fine, and I don't think anyone would care. However, blatantly copying something after you know it already exists (which you did with the 'bridge') is ridiculous.
I manage the 5S project, which collects all known spaceship speeds in Isotropic Non-totalistic rules. I also wrote EPE, a tool for searching in the INT rulespace.

Things to work on:
- Find (7,1)c/8 and 9c/10 ships in non-B0 INT.
- EPE improvements.
