I'm a bit confused about this new proposed challenge with regards to what a "region" is. For example, how many regions would this rule (posted here ) have? x = 40, y = 40, rule = B3ai4acnr7c/S3i4-ceq5-jqy6ac7c8 bobobo2bob2o3b2obo2b3ob3ob2o3b3obo$bob2obob2o2b5o3bo2bob2o4bob2obo2bo$ 5o2bob5ob2ob2o2bo...

This thread is a little bit confusing, since there is another rule, 345/3/6, which is very similar to this one and which is also called "Living On The Edge." on the life wiki. http://conwaylife.com/wiki/List_of_Generations_rules I thought that was what this thread was refering to, but I guess not? A...

Happy birthday to Harryluke . Their birthday present is a strange failed replicator-based puffer: x = 5, y = 4, rule = B34z/S236ei 2bo$b3o$o3bo$2ob2o! I've always wondered if it's possible to make a puffer based on the pi heptomino in life, since it replicates. This isn't life of course, but its in...

Because no new challenge has happened in a long time, I think somebody has to think of a new one???????????????????????? :?: I have a new challenge if the old one is dead: Find a cellular automaton, which, in a random 50/50 soup is: *universal (all cells obey the same rules and have the same neighb...

I was messing around and I stumbled upon this while changing rules: x = 592, y = 7, rule = 345/2/4:T1000,1001 B2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.AB2C.

Thank you!

Hello, I was experimenting with toroidal soups in Golly, and tried a 1% density soup in a 100,000 by 100,000 toroidal universe. By generation 100, these are the objects that emerged in order of approximate commonness: block, blinker (these two were the vast majority), bee hive, pond, traffic light, ...

Thanks!

Cool, never noticed that. It would be interesting if someone could find a "train" that rides the rail, directed by the rail itself. Almost like a wire.

They also make a clean fuse if you cut off the end.

I'm not sure this is new, but I found a series a series of still lifes that are essentially overlapping tables. I call them rails. Unlike boats, you can make them changed directions. Here's an example x = 50, y = 38, rule = B3/S23 7$40b2ob2o$41bobo$41bobo$40b2ob2o$41bobo$41bobo$40b2ob2o$41bobo$41bob...

Thank you allot. I think I'm starting to understand. Why are there $'s and numbers? For example in, if it is just binary?

Thank you for the suggestion. I will make sure to post my pattern in the forum first.

It is a still life that involves tables being repeated over and over again in a straight line resulting in a structure that looks like a railroad. These structures can also be made to intersect. I call these "cross pieces." It also makes a clean fuse if you remove the end of the last table in the ra...

I recently made a post about not being able to post anything. Now I understand why. Can you please add me to the trusted list?

I have a very interesting pattern I have discovered in Life. When I made an account on the wiki and tried to create a page, I couldn't find a new page button. I then searched for the pattern I was trying to create or any synonyms that might exist for the pattern. There were none so I clicked the "cr...
