Make it Last Longer(Game) and of course read the rules before you post or edit to see updates

Post by HotWheels9232 » August 4th, 2022, 3:04 pm

Welcome to the world of methuselahs! We will start with a methuselah(R-Pentomino) and make it last longer by using the following moves:
1.Add 1 cell
2.Turn 1 cell off
3.Move 1 cell
My first move(Type 3)1103M-1105M

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = LifeSuper
.C$.D$3A$A!
If it is impossible, then do two of the normal moves. If it is still impossible, do 3 of the normal moves. You get the idea. Also I will have a term called density, which is The population/The bounding box area, and that must be at least 0.0075. Or make the (L/MCPS)/4 be greater than the last methuselah.
If no one has posted the next pattern, feel free to change your pattern. You are allowed to make two consecutive moves.

EDIT: Something about the pattern was off, so I fixed it. but either way, EV's move would be valid.

Make it Last Longer 2 (Game)

Post by unname4798 » August 2nd, 2023, 10:02 am

We'll start with domino and make it last longer by using the following moves:
• Add 1 cell
• Remove 1 cell
My first move (Add 1 cell) 1M -> 2M

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = DoubleB3S23
.2C$B!
If it is impossible, then do two of the moves. I will have term called 'density' which is population/boundingBox, and that must be at least 0.01. Or make (L/MCPS) be greater than the last pattern. You are not allowed to make two or more consecutive moves.
