What exactly is "textsample ... " represent? An actual working URL would be helpful as a starting point.

It's cut off by phpBB, it works as a template if you go to the link, yielding:

at least one of the first oscillators of p19, p41 will be a honey farm hassler, and both will be discovered before 2024.

Mentioned in the RCT thread , I did a search to find 4-glider syntheses of glider producing switch engine s, with the condition that none of them produce any non-forward-facing gliders, and 1347 of them showed up. I'd guess this list is complete in terms of hitting a 3G unstable switch engine synth ...

All 2G synths in B3/S2-c3-i4a: I re-found this rule by chance while doing low-stakes golfing and it's a really neat rule. A row of 6 cells turns into two p90s, which run into eachother and stabilize into a dock on dock: x = 6, y = 1, rule = B3/S2-c3-i4a 6o! Boat bit is replaced by block bit: x = 8,...

I think it's moderately miraculous that an R-pentomino turns into a B-heptomino which turns into a Herschel, and all of these things travel . In the draft of my post I had included something like "there are many sprawling and linearly traveling signals that are easy to make conduits out of" but cut...

What are some things in Life that seem "miraculous"? I have the following incomplete list: The fact that these simple "birth on 3, survival on 2 and 3" rules give us so much complexity, that has enabled this game to be playing for over 5 decades, and will probably continue for a very long time. The ...

Those produce the signals that would otherwise be produced by the bit-reading glider. This is done to make it run in linear time instead of exponential time. The way the script that produces that pattern works is adaptable to producing the actual pattern, but we don't have a way to run it due to its...

A script with a web scraper will do it, but just be aware that it will use server resources. If someone decides to make this I'd highly recommend just downloading the C1 textcensus and Shinjuku and write some code to interpret and compare the data. It'd be much faster and less resource intensive th...

This 12-cell pattern evolves into a GPSE, but not in the way you might expect! x = 64, y = 24, rule = B3/S23 61b3o$62bo19$3o$bo2bo$5bo$2bobo! There's also a LWSS in the ash.

This 15-cell pattern that becomes a pentadecathlon, a boat, and a beehive in 28 generations, popped up out of a completely unrelated search, and I just think it's neat:

Since the puffer moves out of the way before the ash stabilizes, this 27-cell equivalent can be constructed: x = 22, y = 20, rule = B3/S23 5b4o$9bo$9bo$10b2o6$o$o$o$b2o$b3o$b2o$19bo$18bo$17bo2bo$18bo2bo$19b3o!

LifeViewer is having serious performance issues for me. When it starts up it takes a few seconds to even load the grid, and when it runs it does so at a small fraction of the speed.
