The rule name "B+Univ" does actually works in LifeViewer:

Code: Select all

#R B+Univ

Why viewer/LV tag makes embedded LifeViewer like this?

Only works on narrow screen device.

It looks that way because it's narrow—if you want to see all of it, either get a bigger screen, zoom out to 50%, or use the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.

What are the smallest MSM breeders by bounding box? The only one I could find on LifeWiki is Breeder 1 , but there's probably a smaller one on the forums somewhere.

As far as I know, currently LifeWiki does not have a standard for spaceship bounding boxes (see Talk:Loafer ). Consequently, any possible value in the infobox (either 5x5, 5x4, or anything else) is equally arbitrary at this point. LifeWiki has an unstandard, if that counts… The bounding box of a mo...

Supercomputer post #4. This'll be more about the input than the output. Edit 0: I made a p8192 clock with four memory cells, which can be changed on and off.

A Tetraplet is a p2 oscillator in B3/S3.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S3
o$b2o$bo!

I name it “y clock”(p2)

Isn't that the blinker from B34/S34?

A blinker would click every generation, because...well...car blinkers.
A boat would probably slosh the water around, but that's about it.
A ship would be louder than a boat.
