Thank you! I will do my best not to submission-spam.

Before submission, consider formatting glider guns according to conventions of Dieter and Peter's glider gun collection.

(The gliders should travel to the lower right. The width should be greater than or equal to height. The pattern should be in the last phase before a glider leaves the bounding box.)

The width and height are measured for the bounding-box-across-all-phases-ignoring-output-gliders. An output glider is deleted as soon as (a) it is fully formed and (b) it will never interact with the gun again.

How to use "Tags" when my comment corresponds to another thread ?

For example, I posted in Oscillator Discussion Thread for a general comment.
I just edited the title of my post.
The best thing would be to have a link back to the appropriate topic.

Thanks

Rule:Tireworld is non-notable. The same holds for many other rulefiles you posted to the wiki:
https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?targ ... tributions

i have very, very faded memories of, at the very start of my conways game of life career, someone telling me that they upload ruletables all the time. i guess i kind of hard-coded that into myself without knowing if i was allowed to or not. i guess i never checked the notability rules for ruletables.

But I want to use these rules in the life viewer.

you can either put the rule table after the pattern, like this:

Code: Select all

x = 166, y = 3, rule = RuleName
A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.B2.A2.

or make the lifewiki page Rule:RuleName.
I hope this helped! I have so much fun making (absolutely useless) rules, it would be a shame if another person couldn't use theirs!

there it is
