Heh, I'm not sure this entirely counts as "exploration". That's just the plain-vanilla Conway's Life reaction involving an eater2:
Code: Select all
x = 12, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory
2A$2A4.2A$3.2A2.A$3.2A.A3.2A$6.A.A2.A$3.2A.A.2A$3.A2.A.A$4.2A4.A$9.2A!
With so few transition differences between Conway's Life and pi-puffer Life, you'll find that there are quite a few reactions that work the same way in both. MIght be worth doing some experimenting on large stamp-collection pages, for example, and just see what works and doesn't explode.
Yes, that's one of the advantages of exploring a rule that is similar to B3S23; people have extensively explored that rule and found a lot of patterns, and a decent fraction of those patterns will also work in any closely related rule (unless it's B2a3S23 or something). Something that might be useful is a collection of smallish patterns in ConwayLife designed for being tested in other rules. Sure, one could just run individual collections in the relevant rule, but I don't want to have to do that individually for over a dozen collections.
Edit: I may have missed something, but I'm sure that this is at least mostly complete.
Code: Select all
x = 419, y = 46, rule = B3/S23

This tells me that the lightweight emulator (and also the middleweight and heavyweight emulators, but it was only necessary to include one), fumarole, and octagon 2 work in NewSnakeLife. I knew that the fumarole works in NewSnakeLife, but I didn't know that octagon 2 and the XWSS emulators work there, so this was useful for me.
I am tentatively considering myself back.
