cutting off the top row (if we cut off another row, we get 2 columns for the price of 1) and advancing the green toad-shooting space junk in the lower right corner (allowing the beehive recipe to be moved up 2 cells) increases the lifespan a bit, and a reaction from that one edge-shooting conduit (...

Inspired by this breakthrough, I have synthesised a period 1 glider gun:

This would be classed as 30 different yl30s because the history envelopes of the final patterns don't overlap. The apgcode I provided is legitimately what apgsearch spits out if you put the pattern I posted into it.

Many congratulations on this work, dani! When simsim beat the 26-cell record I'd established with Wedge-grow, I made some attempts at beating the 23 mark established by switch-engine ping-pong, but with no progress. Could you post your 27 10-cell switch engines? Thank you!! }:) Yeah, none of them a...

That's amazing.

Since nobody's answered yet, I feel like there are some elements of Life that are aesthetically pleasing, although most development lately has been in building big ugly machines. One thing I find myself doing a lot is watching the evolution of the R-pentomino and how so much chaos forms from a relat...

B34j5i/S23 has a small spaceship and rake:

19-cell pattern that takes until generation 89288592 to stabilize (albeit with linear population growth):

Ahhh I'm not really sure, I've never named a pattern. The only feature I can think of that distinguishes it from the other patterns in the series is that it has that unnamed 9-cell island on the left that turns into H+SE. Just so this post has some content, here's a few variations on that cluster fo...

The highway is only p2250 in this rule, so I'm not sure why it defaults to zz_LINEAR. Maybe because of the complex underlying behaviour. I even tried inputting the highway directly, with no success: x = 64, y = 43, rule = B3-cjkq4knqy5cnr7/S02-cn3-ak4eiq5kq6e7e 7bo6bo27bo7$7bo13bo6bo6bo6bo6bo7$o6bo6...
