Find a non-totalistic rule and find a pattern that exhibits lots of growth.
The goal is the highest FinalPop/InitPop (What I will call an FI score). Round the value if needed.
REVISION:
The goal is the highest FinalPop/InitialPop/Generations (Generations is the amount of generations needed to reach said population). Since this is more "sensitive" to changes, the first 3 digits must be provided. This is the Fig index.
For already-submitted patterns, just add a Fig index along with FI Score.
Rules:
1. The rule must be in the form of B/S, no custom ruletables, generations, or LTL
2. The pattern cannot be adjustable, so you cannot have a puffer colliding with another.
3. It is allowed for the final pattern to oscillate, just pick a random point in time or find the maximum population.
4. The pattern must stop growing at some point. Infinite growth patterns are not allowed.
