Dotlife(B3/S023)

[Bullet51]

Although the rule is explosive, Dotlife shares many patterns with life.
To start this topic, here are some non-life patterns:

Still uses the tetromino engine, though - I guess it's DotLife's equivalent of the big glider.

Nice one, did you find it? I like how the only thing stopping it from working in normal Life is the single spark at the front.

Probably known already, but the B heptomino can be stabilized into a spaceship:

I like this rule a lot, especially because after you've watched it for a while, you'll notice that the same sort of B-heptomino growth patterns occur in Life, they just die a lot faster.

EDIT: And about the top of it like 4600 gems in. So it is a common ship.

And two have formed to the left by gen 5500. I don't know that this ship's that common, though, it just comes from a lot of patterns because lots of patterns have lots of things coming from them. That's what happens in a very explosive rule.

[Pete-omino]

This rule could do with more investigation! I've noticed that the R-pentomino (the only methusaleh pentomino in Conway) explodes in this rule - maybe the smallest exploder in Dotlife? And the resulting splodge emits plenty of those "stabilised B-heptomino" SS's - as well as stable versions of the dirty puffer based on that ship.

Other Conway methusalehs, on the other hand, like 'acorn', do not explode in Dotlife - instead they vanish.

I created a rotationally symmetric explosion just by putting together two R-pentominoes.
