A <=64-cell still life can fit inside Karel's p28. Here is one (symmetric!) example:

I bet this can be synthesized.

EDIT: I'm looking for the biggest still Life that fits in Karel's p177, but that seems to be a rather bad idea considering how large the hole is (368 cells). If someone can recommend a better way to do this than throwing it into LLS I'm all ears

Constructed yesterday in some 30minutes pattern that randomly grows until some 6200 generations, launches 24 gliders and has end population 1000. With amounts of familiar patterns.

Code: Select all

I tried to find something for the Silly Little Components thread... accidentally got a temporary clock.

Code: Select all

saved the Clock by adding a Blinker :
