Re: Thread for basic questions

Is there a list of octagon-type oscillators? Here's the relevant part of o0004.lif in jslife: x = 214, y = 67, rule = B3/S23 4bo8bo$4b3o4b3o46bo7bo$7bo2bo26b3o20b2o5b2o$6b2o2b2o26bo21b2o5b2o58b2o 2b2o$2o16b2o9b2o30bo5bo58bobo2bobo71b2o$bo6b2o8bo11bo6b3o48b2o16b2o15b o2bo6bo2bo67bobo$bobo3bo2bo5bobo...

Re: Unicode superscripts in page names?

I support the move for all single-digit numbers. The problem with higher numbers is that some fonts place 123 in a different superscript from 0456789; 10 is the lowest number with this issue.

AFAIK the current name of that p19 was chosen by the discoverer.
While mostly irrelevant to this discussion, I was actually the one who named it.

Re: Regarding the name of the """logarithmic""" replicator rule

So why does "commonly used" matter here but not for "signal" or "transition"?

Re: LLSSS min pop search results spam

Please review the moving objects collection when searching for notable known ships. Thank you, this is what I was looking for, much better than the regular jslife.

That should never have been called a "wevzy" (which is a misspelling to begin with), as the apgcode it came from had it as part of the emulator, not the hassled object.

confocal, please stop reverting to your preferred version.

Common usage calls them transitions. There's no need to change this.

Re: LifeWiki Trusted Account Request Thread - Post requests here

Don't you mean edit articles? Actually 'pages' - articles are just those pages directly intended for LifeWiki readers (basically, the main namespace and the OCA namespace). Userpages, templates, talk pages, etc. aren't articles. "Article" has a completely different meaning on LifeWiki than it does ...

Re: Catagolue Suggestions Thread

Does there exist an "all-soups" census (that, obviously enough, tabulates all soups) in a given rule? Not quite clear on the question -- you don't specify a bounding box, and without that, there isn't any such thing as "all soups". You might be looking for this existing apgsearch hack , though.

Re: Thread for basic questions

It doesn't have a name. It's just blind luck that it happens to be in three oscillators (the others being 45P25 and Raucci's p102); it's not that common.

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread

Here's a pretty promising p48 partial. To solve, any of these work: 1. Find a suitable spark. Rich's p16 would work if it didn't delete the essential block later. 2. Replace the fishhook with a catalyst or sparker that deletes the B directly without interfering with the earlier spark. 3. Replace the...

Re: Blockish and Blockic or blockish and blockic?

No opinion on capitalization, but (B/b)lockic over (B/b)lockish. It's the much more established term. LifeWiki only lists the latter term as part of a file name and has no actual uses.
