You decremented the day counter. That's not valid.

Oh yes. That is valid because your CA definition is ill-defined. I will update the first post to include that.

We should be as thorough as possible in our explorations: remember, we are building CA from the ground up. It is possible for us to explore the ideas put forward by LuveelVoom and unname4798, just later on. Day 3: I extended the number of possible outputs to 3, so there are 2^24 (16777216) rules. T...

Rules:

Post a scenario about CA or the forums that is better than the one above. Include an RLE if at all possible.

Try to go slowly, like My Number is Larger.

No scenarios about moderator actions.

Of course, no scenarios about other users.

I’ll start: you find no blocks in a massive soup.

Day 1 All I have with me is a computer that is otherwise blank save for Python and C++. I searched for the ConwayLife forums and LifeWiki.

You find a rule and APGsearch it. Unfortunately, there is only one type of stable object. Fortunately, it is insanely common.

You apgsearch a rule but you discover, after far too late, that the only stable objects you discovered in that rule are really rare, because most soups just die.

You wrote a program that can find many interesting multistate rules, but your brother misinterpret it as a "virus" and get rid of it.

You wrote a program that can find many interesting HROT weighted rules, but your archenemy takes away your computer the next day and so you lost the program.
