Change The Sequence! [GAME]

Post by OCAfan55 » March 20th, 2026, 5:42 pm

In this game, you will change any arrangement of cells (set to CGol) to a different rule to produce something interesting. you can make a large still life, high period oscillator, alien spaceship, natural gun, replicator, or whatever you think is interesting.
Example turn:
You have this pattern:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
4o!
And you turn it into a P10 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 4, rule = B3-q5y/S234t6c
o$o$o$o!
And then you show the next sequence you want to be modified.
Your rule may be life-like, INT, alternating, or generations rule. You must stick to the square Moore neighborhood and you cannot use 3+ state rules other than generations.
Now that that's cleared up, here's the first pattern:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 4, rule = B3/S23
o$2o$bo$bo!
Placing random cells in fourfold symmetry

Code: Select all

b2o5b2o$obo5bobo$2o2bobo2b2o$4bobo$2b2o3b2o$5bo$2b2o3b2o$4bobo$2o2bob

In this alternating rule it replicates and starts doing... stuff. This rule doesn't seem to be explosive besides the replicators.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 4, rule = B3/S23|B2/S4

Next:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B3/S23

That's a SL in TTs:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B3/S23-a5
obo$3o$bo$obo$bo!
But that's the same rule twice and it's pretty mundane, so...

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2acn/S35
