Re: Thread for basic questions

A pattern with a forward-moving mechanism which completes 1.00 or more cycles but is then overtaken by its ash. The forward moving mechanism subsequently emerges from the ash and the process repeats. Could such an object exist?

Re: Thread For Your Unrecognised CA

Here's a rule called Construction. A random pattern is generated for the construction workers. The workers will form walls on the outside but faster construction inside sometimes knock the walls down. Once they get the entire outer wall built, it's there to stay. They nest more and more walls until ...

Re: Oscillator Discussion Thread

As a block is one of the phases the pattern can be moved forward by one cell in any orthogonal direction. So this could theoretically be a tagalong, a conduit, or an oscillator. Well, I’ll have to say such a simple reaction is pretty much well known. I’m not really good at remembering CGOL patterns...
