this is like the worst way to take 2 gliders and put them going off in different directions.

No, it’s 2 gliders on the same lane, coming from the same direction. They go out in different directions.

Didn’t know what the century evolved into was a century (In Immortalife) — I kept seeing it pop up and I asked:
What is that?
But yeah, that looks like immortalife alright!
Have a reaction you need catalyzed in immortalife?
Make your catalysts blocks.
That’s seriously the only times I’ve had luck making catalysts that don’t eat pi.

But I still haven’t found a way to make the pi an oscillator!

As Ian07 notes, that is thunderbird.
You may want to look over the wiki a good bit to get a sense of what is known and what isn’t.

Thunderbird has been known for awhile... for instance, here’s a really cool p64 thunderbird hassler (discovered by carybe via apgsearch)

Code: Select all

#O carybe, 2018
