The two p34s in that collection are identical, just 8 gens out of phase.

Another very simple gun:

OK, Extrementhusiast, here they are in ASCII (did it by hand, so there may be errors): p12: .O..O. .OO..O. O....O O..OOOO .OOOO. ....O.. ...... or ....O.. OO..OO ...O... ...... ..OO.. p14: .OO.

That gun is very cool--nice find.
I like the trail left by this puffer:

Extrementhusiast, I'm embarrassed. Not until you mentioned a p60 I'd never seen did I realize that your original post included a scrollbox, giving a total of more than 3 oscillators. So I guess I duplicated quite a bit of your effort. Mea culpa. p88: .O.... OO.OO. ...O.O O....O OO.... .OOO.. I'll tr...

I guess I could try to do it in ASCII, but I'd probably screw it up--unless someone knows a way to do it automatically. Here's my most recent version, with oscillators of periods 2-20, 22-31, 33, 34, 46, 48, and 88. If you're curious about some specific one, I'll see if I can post an ASCII rendering...

And a p18, of the same sort:

I'd like to see support for (various kinds of) symmetry: symmetric random fills, symmetric drawing modes, etc.

Here are sample oscillators of all the periods I've found so far: x = 171, y = 100, rule = B45678/S1234 50bo3bobobo4b3o24bobobo2bobobo3b2o7b2o4bobobo2bobobo3b4o$62bobobo37bo 8bo2bo17b3ob2o$50bo3bo3bo35bo2bo3bo6bo3b2o2b2o6bo2bo3bo3bo3bo$62bobobo 37bo3bo3bobo2bo17bo3bo$50bo3bo3bo4b3o24bobobo2bo3bo3b3o...

Here's a p90 oscillator, in the same spirit as the p30:

No kidding there's a lot of oscillators here. I've only run about a half dozen random soups, and so far have oscillators with all periods 2-13, plus 20, 28, and 33.

Most Life-life rules support some oscillators, but there are a few exceptions. Obviously there must be both birth and death, so B/* is out and so is */S012345678. B0 just confuses me, and anything with B1 just explodes. Now two living cells diagonally adjacent make a period-2 oscillator in everythin...

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Back-to-back copies can stabilize each other. So here's a real p17: x = 18, y = 18, rule = B3/S2456 11bo$6b6o$3b3o3bob3o$2bob2ob6o$2b2ob4o2b2o2bo$2b3obobo4b3o$bo2b2o7b5o$ bob2o9bobo$bob3o8b3o$b3o8b3obo$bobo9b2obo$5o7b2o2bo$2b3o4bobob3o$2bo2b 2o2b4ob2o$...

Also a p16 and a p18:

My Golly makes no noise (version 2.1 in Linux).

The exploding chaos makes it hard to do or discover anything interesting in this rule. But here are a few oscillators, of periods 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 30: x = 105, y = 89, rule = B36/S235 obobo6b2o3b2o3b2o2b2o4b2o2b2o8bo2bo2bo2bob2ob2o4bo8bo8bobo2bobo$11bobo 2bobobobo2bobo2bobo2bobob2obo3b5o3b2obo...

I played around with this rule for a while in 1998, and really liked the variety of oscillators. I didn't have any search programs back then; just used random patterns, loaded regular Life patterns and saw what they did, and so forth. I found a few nice oscillators that haven't shown up here yet. My...
