I needed color-changing 90° reflector for my gun_5477. Bandersnatch + Snark solution was too bulky, so I remembered seeing an alternative during Turing machine optimizations. I took device from there, it fit well, but I realized that I don't know its name. There's no name that I know of assigned to...

OK then can you please look for guns for periods over 999? That request is far too vague. Guns can already be constructed for any period anyone might want -- including guns automatically constructed via a script . If you don't give specifics about what you want these guns for, there's no reason why...

Which "Koenig" discovered the Koenig's Colourised Life? Is it Hkoenig?

Yes. Link added.

Most of the larger patterns such as engineered spaceships, their pattern files are exclusively in .mc Got it. If I remember right, we decided not to include .mc files in all.zip because it would really explode the file size... yup: all.zip only collects .cells and .rle files (just to prevent its si...

is it possible to make 0E0P Langton's Ant? me and my friend had been workshopping it on another server on Discord, but never came to a conclusion of whether it's possible. Is the INT Langton's Ant an acceptable solution? If so, then that's definitely a rule that an 0E0P metacell can be programmed t...

well，I give another example,the last example, Knowledge protection is needed. ... If any one is interested to join my group to find all continent shape letters,give me your reply. I'm sorry, @wln2024, but you're really not putting in the effort that you would need to put in, for your posts to be we...

Where can i download all the patterns that have pages on lifewiki but are not included in all.zip You'd have to write a scraper script that looks for embedded LifeViewers that have an "rle =" parameter instead of a "pname =" parameter. If you're interested in tackling that problem, most of the code...

If you're using Windows, WinLifeSearch would be a great option. It's easy to download and use, and in fact the first search program I ever used. Thanks. It seems i need C to run the program. How should I go about getting that? You might consider trying JavaLifeSearch instead, since that just requir...

Someone kept misspelling "methuselah". I hate to say his name. @Citation needed, I've tried sending you private messages, but I'm not getting any response and it seems as if you're not understanding what I say. This thread really shouldn't have been bumped to post what you posted, but now that it h...

By the way, how to send private message? Don't worry about private messages for the moment. You're welcome to share here whatever you'd like to share related to cellular automata -- but please avoid any links to advertising for classes or anything else you might want to sell. That applies both to p...

Hmm I need snark faster by 2 ticks mod 8 and I cannot find a nice solution ... this is best what I got. Hmm maybe I should try something else than Fx77. I'm thinking there's likely to be a Spartan H-to-G that could be added directly to the syringe+Lx200, or to a syringe+F166, that will produce a +2...

Imagine the link is removed. Does the same text still make sense? Does it read the same way? This is the same idea that has been showing up in some of your objections to Haycat2009 removing four words from the period-49 glider gun (April 2023) article. Thus far you've gotten feedback from Haycat200...

The new method improves on the older, it's faster, cheaper, and more compact. Faster, I suppose. Without knowing exactly how the output gliders will be used, it's not clear if that's an advantage or not. "Cheaper" is something you'd find out by constructing sections of both of the fuses; with a slo...

This push is known, but at displacement (2,2), could it be attached to a Cordership? x = 10, y = 14, rule = B3/S23 4b2o$4bobo$5b2o$7b2o$2o5bobo$obo5b2o$b2o$3b2o$3bobo$4b2o2$6bo$6bo$6bo! I'm thinking it will be maybe not completely impossible, but pretty tough -- based on this experiment: x = 61, y ...

How can I show the cells pattern? We explain this kind of thing to newcomers every now and then. See confocaloid's response to this post , for example. Try replying to this email ( EDIT: message , I meant) to see a sample of how to use "pattern" tags (surrounding the word with square brackets) to g...

The pages are currently mixed. https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Strict_still_lifes_with_C1_symmetry has 31 pages, all beginning with B. Yup. I'm waiting for Haycat2009's holidays to start, since Haycat has volunteered to do some more work on this but doesn't have time at t...

Edit: Here's a demonstration of stably-supported traffic jam signals being able to turn corners... Edit 2: And a stable version of the p110 loop to fully showcase the technology. Let's see, those are all "slow corners". The 50-ticks-faster turn also works just fine, not surprisingly. Here's a sampl...

I mean this: I think this might be a case where it's very useful to be "not anywhere near an expert". It's sometimes hard for the experts to even know what to explain, or to explain anything clearly without using jargon that only other experts can understand anyway. I understand. You believe that t...

Most actual readers are not long-term forum members. Most actual readers are not LifeWiki editors. Most actual readers are not long-term users of the local forums jargon. I could continue, but hopefully the above is sufficient to answer the question. Nope, not sufficient. None of this looks relevan...

Re: "the average LifeWiki reader" -- obviously you aren't an average LifeWiki reader. Most actual readers can grasp the difference easily. Why are you so confident about this? By saying this, aren't you speaking for "most actual readers", in exactly the way that you've just tried to scold me for do...

I think that something should be done, as there have been 13 accounts made, only one of which is genuine. Nathaniel has been aware of the issue since these types of spammer accounts first started getting created. His latest response was ... for now I'll just keep an eye on it. Honestly I'm not sure...

I have not seen calcyman's solution in action as golly is unable to play it ... You've seen the video , right? How about the 0E0P timeline file ? I'd still love to have a timeline file that has snapshots of an entire 0E0P metacell cycle at a reasonable step size -- and that might be within reach on...

How exactly did AbhpzTa make the P47 gun so small? I'm not seeing any clever reactions that weren't used in earlier iterations of the gun. iNoMed described it like this on Discord: " It turns out separating the glider convoy is no good so you just over-unity it again and eat half the convoy. " In o...
