It can be in any rule (outer-totalistic, non-totalistic, generations, LTL, LTL generations, but not ruletables or non-isotropic rules), but you have to provide a soup that produces it (for the natural puffer competition).
You can nominate as many puffers as you wish
Bonus points if:
The puffer is oblique
The puffer is in a nonexplosive rule
The puffer produces almost-puffers (little things that branch off its ash, produce their own ash for awhile, and then fall apart/become spaceships
You can provide a cordership for the puffer (especially if it’s oblique)
My first nomination (taken from one of my posts):
Code: Select all
x = 52, y = 49, rule = B3-ey4kt5e7c/S23-a4ityz
