It may be possible to be extended into a tubstretcher: code I tried my search program's hand at this and the longest partial it produced after a 129h search was: code or stitched back in in just the one phase: code Unfortunately next search size down was <5h so next search size up is probably measu...

Is it possible to extend partials from the tail of the spaceship, e.g. ?

Indeed, it's good to periodically review the old patterns. We may see something that we didn't before, or new users might get introduced to an interesting old problem. Here are two related partial results using the wings in the new ship: x = 130, y = 56, rule = B3/S23 32bo72bo$31bobo70bobo$30bo2bo6...

On my phone, LifeSuper and EV2QuadColor both run well for me, but EV2QuadColor runs a bit faster.

Dimerization of a known p9 oscillator:

I just bumped into some passage on a primary-school Chinese textbook: 《詹天佑》 In this passage, a method of tunnel engineering is described: 八达岭隧道 长一千一百多米，有居庸关隧道的三倍长。他跟老工人一起商量，决定采用中部凿井法，先从山顶往下打一口竖井，再分别向两头开凿，外面两端也同时施工，把工期缩短了一半。 which translates into The Badaling Tunnel is more than 1,100 meters long, th...

Tried to solve the nonisorulemin-S012345678 still life problem with 256 hand-made squares.....

What is this problem about? I presume this is a problem about finding a 256-cell pattern where every cell has a unique neighbourhood configuration.

What search programs can search for diagonal spaceships in this kind of region? x = 32, y = 20, rule = LifeHistory 4B28F$6B26F$5BA2B24F$3B2ABABAB22F$3B2A2BA4B20F$3BA3BA2BA3B18F$3BA4B3A 5B16F$4BA4B3ABA4B14F$2FB2A8B3A4B12F$4F5BA4B4ABA2B10F$6F3BA6BA2BA4B8F$ 8F2BA2BA2BA6BA2B6F$10F2BA3B2A3B3A4B4F$12F4BAB...

For Chinese (I am not good at Chinese), can we use 机 as a abbrev. of 滑翔机? It is the last character and it sounds like "G" (which is the abbrev. of glider)

4G tridirectional synthesis -> 四机三向合成, etc.

Is it possible for one to specify a search pattern, where a cell being either alive, dead, or don't-care, and get all the patterns matching the specification? For example one could specify oo.o.. oo.ooo ...... oo.oo? .o.o?? .o.??? to search for eater 2 variants. This would be greatly useful for the ...

I would say afind is pretty dead, but I'm not sure it was ever alive. That was before I was around here at least.

It is said that afind can search for knightships, but I doubt if anyone has succesfully find such a ship.
