A fun idea that has maybe been thought of before: The ability to mark a region on the grid and define a musical note or tone for that region. That note plays so long as a live cell is in that region. Then people can compose music by making a parade of gliders or other ships that pass through the var...

Found a game of Life on one of the disks and was immediately captivated. Didn't take long to make a quick and dirty simulator on my PC, and was having enough fun to e...

Any proof of work scheme will need to have variable difficulty. Searching for novel patterns would only increase in difficulty. Also, the proof of work would need to integrate a block hash with the pending transactions. So the only way I can think of to make something like this work would be to make...

Thanks. I don't imagine it's novel anyway, I just saw it when I scratched a diagonal line in golly so it's unthinkable that it hasn't been seen before. Wondered what it was called is all. No repetition so it's really only as good as drawing a bunch of gliders manually.

I am new to this Conway's Game of Life so I don't know what things are called. I can't find a pattern like this in the wiki, probably because I don't know the search terms. It is a diagonal line with 3 small steps, 1 big step, 4 small steps, 1 big step, repeating. It evaporates into gliders in both ...
