Re: Close life variants
A rule seemingly heretofore undocumented, B34knq/S23 has very strong B-heptomino engines: x = 3, y = 4, rule = B34knq/S23 2o$b2o$2o$o! Removing the beehive that forms at generation 69 (done here with a carefully positioned block) makes it revolve over thousands of generations, similarly to the B-hep...

Re: Suggested LifeWiki edits
On switch engine ping-pong, it currently states:
In 2022*, quadratic growth was synthesized using 6 gliders*, so it should be phrased in a way that acknowledges that 7 is no longer the minimumand it shows that quadratic growth can be synthesized with no more than 7 gliders.
