(same thread, different rule) Since the first post in this thread is missing a link to the original post of 1c2-an3-ijqr4-inrwy5cejkr6cen78/2-ac3ikr4-iktwy5acejq6-i78/3: https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=803&p=136721#p136695 I suggest the name "OrthoGen" since it's a highly ortho go...

Record WLAMS methuselah on 1000x500 torus: 68634M

A rule I've found that seems to be sitting right on the edge is 237/34/3. Even small soups commonly last multiple kilogens and leave quite a bit of ash. Yet larger soups seem to eventually settle into just a few active areas which even more eventually wind down all the same. (Another) crazy methuse...

Whoa! Are you using some kind of script? You always build stuff remarkably fast! Some context on the replicator: It's about generation 102,472,619 when it sparks its first child into life. Watch in Golly, zoomed to the leftmost side, with step size 8^5 , it should take a minute or two to complete th...

Found a bug: The rulestring StickyX cause the "show in viewer" to disappear from patterns: x = 103, y = 97, rule = StickyX $.A12.A6.A6.A10.A2.3A12.A4.3A18.3A7.A4.A$28.A2.A2.A9.2A11.2A$12.2A18.

This post has been delayed by a week, due to wanting to wait for a haul so i could post some apgsearch stuff, but i found that unfortunately, even 10000 soups exceed the size limit, so this post won't contain any of those. I use a different ruletable with states 1 and 3 swapped to apgsearch and make...

A near-endemic (only works in 4 rules) self-corderizing 10c/118d b-ship in a barely explosive not-so-close Life variant: x = 4, y = 3, rule = B35kq/S234i 2bo$b3o$2obo! With S4z, a very small P116 RRO: x = 3, y = 4, rule = B34z5kq/S234i 2o$obo$b2o$2bo! With S7e, a very small and common moving replica...

If a topic is not notable in the sense of LW:NB , why should it go to either the main namespace or the OCA: namespace, then? The entire purpose of notability guidelines is to avoid cluttering main namespace(s) with non-notable topics. I suggest to continue the discussion in https://conwaylife.com/f...

That would still be in the main namespace (as anything that doesn't specify a MediaWiki namespace). So the style/notability/quality requirements and guidelines would apply to that, too. I think the "User:" namespace suffices for draft pages. If they want to do so, the initial contributor(s) can add...

Proposal: make an article called Non-notable OCA , which (semi-)automatically lists all all subpages (like Non-notable OCA/Example rule ). There are no notability requirements to create an OCA page as a subpage of it, though the subpages are still required to look like a regular OCA page. When multi...

I noticed that there's literally a 1.5 month gap in the news. I think it's impossible for this community to not have a notable discovery for so long. Can anyone fill in the gap?

^ | | A still life is endemic when every possible 3x3 configuration of cells have occured in the pattern and thus only works in B/S012345678. The still life you build is not required to be strict, in fact strict still lives cannot be endemic since it's impossible to achieve S0 in that situation. Her...

c/2o, c/4o, c/4d, and several c/6 partials in a random strobing rule: x = 486, y = 184, rule = B01235/S5 11$88b10o$86b4o2b2o2b4o146b57o$87bo2b2o2b2o2bo147b57o23b42o$87bo2b2o2b 2o2bo147b57o23b42o$87b2o8b2o147b57o23b42o$88bo2bo2bo2bo148b57o23b42o$ 86bobobob2obobobo146b57o23b42o$88bobob2obobo148b57o23b...

Here's a bunch of highly unusual adjustable spaceships with the speeds being a near-log rate. From a minimum length of 3, the speeds of extensions are c/x, where x follows the exotic number sequence of 9,15,26,45,84,158,307,..., which can't be found at the OEIS : x = 13, y = 48, rule = logext 2$.A$....

This rule reminds me so much of Midknight Mayhem , which are much more stable but are vastly superior in terms of spaceships. Combinations of just two fleets can result in interesting growth (Catagolue soups generally devolve into two fleets): #C breeder x = 50, y = 49, rule = B3aijkr5j/S2aek3-acy4i...

The questions below are to be taken seriously: Why does the partial get 2 likes, but the complete version got zero likes?? Why does the partial get 2 likes, but the complete version got zero likes?? Why does the partial get 2 likes, but the complete version got zero likes?? Why people resist giving ...

My story is very unusual: (about 10 years ago) I'm a big fan of screensavers since about 3, and one of my favorite screensavers is "CloudLife" , which generates cloud-like patterns using CGoL. (about 6 years ago) I didn't know what exactly caused the screensaver's behavior until i found a really sim...

I'm working on a different approach on emulating rule 110 in tflock 2, i'll post the progress here and post the finished thing in the rule's thread. The long-awaited Rule 110 emulator is finally done! Apparently this kind of emulator is way easier to construct than the metacell, despite using a hug...

I give up on this attempt. People have been ignoring this thread and posting circuitry everywhere like before. Like the fall of "OCA circuit discussion thread" has demonstrated, there is no such thing as a general place for circuitry stuff. Mods may now merge this thread with MDiOCA. Also, the rule ...

Here's a hybrid of a perfect partnership - each rule is extremely good at what the other one is bad at. This is a non-trivial hybrid, made using FWKnightship's scripts . HighMove is an earlier (and arguably better) rule i made using that method. Patterns made of only one state follows the base rules...

I noticed your behavior haven't changed a bit after this, and i suspect you will get another warning soon if you don't stop. Important note: I noticed that the overall "newbieness" of this forum is rapidly rising over the past few months, to a level that this forum has never reached before. Anyone k...

edit: this is the 1000th post in this thread! A very chaotic replicator that becomes a high-period "tablestacker": x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2e3aij6c/S1c2-in3ij4i 3o$obo! Most nearby rules are extremely interesting and i won't be sharing all of them, but here's some of the best: #C replicates successfu...

I think P3 is a good lower limit (the limit of P10 is too high and basically killed this thread) P3: x = 13, y = 13, rule = B2e4c/S0123-k4-c5678 13o$o11bo$ob4ob4obo$obo2bobo2bobo$obo2bobo2bobo$ob4ob4obo$o11bo$ob4ob 4obo$obo2bobo2bobo$obo2bobo2bobo$ob4ob4obo$o11bo$13o!

I have no problem with either terminology, but it's gonna be very hard for the thousands of people in this forum to change the way they speak, so i'm on the side of "transition". Also, i think "condition" sounds a bit weird when left alone ("B4w condition") but makes more sense when paired with anot...
