In that haul, the 11-snake appeared more than the 9-snake!

EDIT: Just to say -- the 11-snake appeared 21 times, with the 9-snake appearing only 4 times. Is this normal?

Oh my. That's incredible!

We're already at 4.444 trillion objects. Is it just me, or has the search sped up over the past few days?

Check again.

They crashed your browser.

HTML works in comments? The snake page crashes your browser after a few seconds.

I have recently been looking at 2xN patterns of 50% density; that is, there is one cell per column. All the 2x2 patterns die from low population. Only one 2x3 pattern survives: the blinker. Before I tell you about 2x4, I noticed that the patterns can be expressed with binary, as such: 1010101111001...

It now prevents any comments containing the substring 'href' (try it for yourself!), which seems to match 100% of the spam comments and 0% of the other comments.

I really regret trying now. That should teach spammers, though...!

Umm...

Sorry if this is unhelpful, or even just irrelevant, but I have calculated that there is around a 6/10 chance that we will have a 13-snake by the time we reach 10^13 objects. I can give numbers on all of the snakes up to 31, but the higher the cell-count the more likely I am wrong. :? EDIT: I got th...

I was looking at how two P30 Glider streams interact; most reactions are just "place an object, destroy the object." But that is not the case with the two-glider mess! After around 2.8M generations, one of the Glider streams has punched through the cloud, and the other... I'm sure this reaction is k...

We have a new period-4 oscillator! As my work-place, for some reason, only allows Internet Explorer (Grrr!), I can only decode apgcode via MSPaint. https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/ZQKs x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23 obbbooobbbbbooob$ boooooobbbobbboo$ oooboooobobboobo$ bbobbobooobooboo$ ooooooobo...

Minor bug: The link to Period-4 oscillators actually leads to the Period-3 page.

Here is a p12 oscillator that occureδ in B4S34/D8_1, a rule in which an object cannot exceeδ its original bounδing box: soup rle... That's better described as a pseudo p12 oscillator as it's composed of p3 and p4 oscillators welded together. Here they are stabilised separately: x = 30, y = 7, rule ...

That is impossible because no pattern in that rule can escape from it's building box. Any cell outside the building box has up to 3 neighbours inside. Therefore, for a cell to be born outside there already has to be a cell outside. Therefore for a pattern to be a spaceship, it has to have cells out...

We have now reacheδ one trillion objects in B3S23/C1!

I will give ONE MILLION POUNDS to whoever discovers a spaceship in B4/S34.

We've almost reached 1 trillion objects!

Here is a collision of LWSSx4+Weekender, resulting in two boats: I hope this is helpful.
