Re: Clearing pattern

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

What I mean by clear is "kill" cells that have been left alive by other patterns operating, so in the path of this pattern would only be dead (unset) cells, and whatever patterns it encountered in front of it (I guess with some exceptions) it would continue ...

Clearing pattern

This is a newbie question: I haven't thought much about Conway's Life before. I'd appreciate an answer though if someone doesn't mind answering.
