EightLife (or Pulsar Life) is a Life-like cellular automaton in which cells survive from one generation to the next if they have 2, 3 or 8 neighbours, and are born if they have 3 neighbours.

Patterns

Many patterns from regular Life are compatible with this rule.

Universality

It was mentioned in a poor quality article[1], but the first true proof was published on conwaylife forums[2] - basically it is a Rule-110[3] cellular automata unit cell, which was inherited from Conway's Game of Life and constructed by Jason Summers[4]
