Is there a figure eight synthesis that can be used to insert this for a p232 LCM oscillator? None of the ones on Mark Niemiec's site (nor the 5G one I made earlier) work here: x = 28, y = 28, rule = B3/S23 15bo$13b3o$12bo$12b2o2$bo$obo7b2o$bo7b3o3b2o$10b2o3b2o3$19b2o$10b2o7b2o5b2o$b o7b3o14bo$obo7b2...

Is there any hope for getting the two remaining 9-bitters in 4? I don't see why not. Many of the objects that are about the same frequency class as long^3 snake have 4G syntheses, and if I understand correctly we've still only investigated a small fraction of the possible 4G collisions. It's just a...

What's with the script errors here? https://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Bumper_ ... er_gallery

Surely there's a cheaper way than this to insert those 4 blocks on the top and bottom? x = 136, y = 139, rule = B3/S23 35bo$34bo$34b3o2$38b3o$31bobo4bo$32b2o5bo$32bo7$57bo$57bobo$57b2o2$27b o$28b2o$27b2o12$obo72bobo$b2o72b2o$bo74bo3$9bo58bo$7bobo58bobo$8b2o58b 2o5$61b2o$61bobo$61bo10$109bo24bo$110bo...

Can someone explain Bowers Exploding Array Function?

There's an explanation of it here on Googology Wiki which I really liked, though it is a bit long.

This reaction would significantly reduce the Jack synthesis, but I can't find a way to insert the pre-pulsar into such a tight space: x = 118, y = 55, rule = B3/S23 104bo$103bo$63bobo37b3o9bobo$64b2o49b2o$64bo51bo2$93bo$91b2o$92b2o3$ 92b2o$92bobo$92bo12$84bo2b2o3b2o2bo$10b3o9bo61b4obobob4o$2o2b2o3b5...

This has been an issue ever since we updated to the latest MediaWiki version last month: https://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=83792#p83792 No one is exactly sure why it happened, so it looks like this is going to remain an issue until someone gets around to trying to find their way thro...

Seconded. And may I question about the reference? (Not obvious to a non-english-meme speaker)

It's a reference to David Hilbert's 23 math problems. And thirded about letting the discoverer suggest/approve the name.

EDIT: Altered the posted RuleTableToTree-hacked.py script slightly, as per discussion on Discord. Hopefully at least we'll be able to move on to a different error... I didn't get an error this time, but at first it didn't look like it actually generated the @TREE section of the file when I tried it...

Does the original RuleTableToTree.py script work? Are you running a copy of RuleTableToTree-hacked.py saved in that same folder? 1. Nope, same issue. 2. Yes.

3) Run the RuleTableToTree-hacked.py script. You'll end up with a copy of the rule with both @TABLE and @TREE sections installed in Golly's Rules folder, and also copied to your clipboard.

I'm getting an "ImportError: No module named ReadRuleTable" from line 11 when I try to run the script.

Google actually has functionality to search for specific phrases but unfortunately doesn't advertise it very well. You can also restrict the search to a given site or even a subdirectory on that site. Here's an example if you want to search for the phrase "B conduit": https://www.google.com/search?c...

Hey, welcome! These both seem to be variants of already known oscillators, specifically cuphook and washing machine respectively (though in the latter case, it's arguably slightly different in that one of the cells causing the births has been moved a bit to the outside, causing the oscillator to req...

Could I get my account trusted too? Messed around with Life for a while but just now getting into the community.
I'm enjoying making glider synthesis for design I can't find one for (though definitely not the first).
Thx in advance.

Done. Welcome to the community!

(39.5? Where in Conway's name did that number come from?)

It's exactly half of the period of the climber (79), meaning the loop takes exactly 2 seconds.

Question: are there any problems with removing the LOOP parameter from wiki articles about oscillators? Asking this due to the recent changes by Gustone.
