Many large still lifes take on some of the general properties of this one, so its not too unique. However, it doesn't seem like this particular still life has appeared on Catagolue, the main database for objects that have appeared in cellular automata.

Welcome to the forums, and don't worry if your discovery isn't all that interesting. There is a lot to learn when it comes to Conway's Game of Life, and you kinda have to take it in slowly.
I could've chose a better username, but oh well.

Still learning the ropes of cellular automata.

Still lifes are pretty easy to construct, but glider synthesis of them are the actual interesting stuffs and can been done manually.
This still life has components and therefore easier to synthesize.

Do anyone have a P38 edge block factory?
Currently hand-searching spaceships.

To attach patterns in a post, do not screenshot it. Select and copy the pattern, then paste the pattern (which is in RLE format) between pattern tags.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

Pattern tag can been summoned by clicking the pattern button near the right of the button list above the text box.
