Do I have to create an "Isolated Sandbox thread"? I'm still receiving quite a few questions (in my inbox system) that I have to answer.
And I still couldn't answer these questions without your help. Many of them are about ColorfulGalaxy's articles on LifeWiki.
But ColorfulGalaxy kept concealing the answer and wouldn't tell me what the terms mean (for example xp0_1337), although I live in his house.
Besides ColorfulGalaxy and I, there's another person living here. I guess that is ColorfulGabrielsp138.
They both seem to be really active.

@ColorfulGabrielsp138: Beware of ColorfulGalaxy stealing your discoveries!

@Everyone else: Don't confuse ColorfulGalaxy with ColorfulGabrielsp138.

The long barge activation simply adds a domino to prevent it from turning into that dock. Without it, you can replace the G+boat+loaf with a G+ship and a 2G cleanup:
I think that you mean cap, not dock.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

Not so clearly. Maybe he realized that 233 is a Fibonacci number.

@Aidan F. Pierce: Why did you hit the Like button? He's clearly advertising Hunting's copyrighted cellular automaton rule.

I believe that we should make a list of patterns that represents ‘common methusalahs’.
And what’s a U-turner?
And again what’s the maxium bounding box for each ‘line’?
Can anybody do a clean-up for the current stuffs?
Of course I don’t mean that’s the most important one, but I suggest that we shall create a former rule so that there won’t be any quarrels about this game after some time.
Here’s my thought:

*There are many ‘line’s where a game goes.
*For each line:
first, a player post a region as the current region. This region must be inside a certain bounding box which is defined at the start of a ‘line’.
second, another player post a catalyst for this ‘line’ which can convert the previous region into any pattern defined as the ‘clear pattern’ or eat it.
third, this player become the player in the first rule.
*All the variables are defined at tha start of a ‘line’, which are the bounding box, the catalyst’s bounding box and the ‘clear pattern’s.
*The rule above is only a example, everybody can discuss and change it at the end of a month.

Will this suit most of you?
Sorry for disrupting this thread.
Please reply soon!

This article says you can't advertise a certain rule if you're not Hunting. This implies that it is copyrighted. But ColorfulGabrielsp138 is still advertising this rule in Trolls thread, yet in disguise.

This is, of course, a thread where you request a thread to be revived.
It’s really difficult to revive a forum game, because there are rules.
By the way, could you please revive this thread?

Sometimes spammers' attempts to seem relevant are strangely impressive:
MartinJose wrote: I for one think spacefiller ought to possibly apply if the example fills in every one of the 4 bearings and is privately associated (and the uncommon classification of maximal spacefiller applies to those that fill as 0.5t^2 asymptotically). Possibly summed up spacefiller can apply with the 4-course condition eliminated, which would imply that "halfmax" is a summed up spacefiller. Or on the other hand possibly summed up spacefiller could be any quadratically developing example, eliminating privately associated too? https: // sportsshow . net/kayaks
... but it turns out it's just a paraphrased paragraph by biggiemac from half a dozen years ago.

p19; works at several spacings. The boat needs to be replaced with an actually functioning catalyst, as well as the shown dot spark (which seems to be possible).

Code: Select all

rle
There's only a need for the dot spark catalyst.

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 30, rule = B3/S23

a domino spark can be used

o!
But that's rather obvious. And there are no domino p19 sparkers or any p19 oscillators yet. In that case, it doesn't seem likely that there would be a possibility of a domino interaction type catalyst that would work. I have also already experimented with domino like interactions.

Sorry for non-constructive posts, but we do look for minimal bounding box instead of population
Who's 'we'? Both are definitely valuable metrics, but I've often seen focus on minpop for ships over minimum bounding box. Regardless, welcome to the forums 4.66920 16091.
Oops, forgot it’s catas gun collection
Btw, I think they are not new; they did appear months ago
(I actually prefer Minpop too but anyways)

A. I was presenting the wickstrecher, not the rule.
B. When attached to something, it is a wickstrecher.
A. If you are not presenting a new dynamic rule you found, probably some other threads fit better?
B1. SO attach to it!
B2. Because the rule isn't new, the wickstrecher(s) ARE long known. What is catagolue for? :)

Major games are now developed by huge corporations, with staffs of hundreds (who are often overworked and underpaid). The games are bundled with draconic DRM that makes it difficult to enjoy even games you paid for without having a constant internet connection and active account in good standing, and the companies can revoke your account (and the access to all your purchased games) at any time, for any reason that they determine violates their terms of service.
Which reminds me, Minecraft bedrock has a custom JSON format for 3D models. While I was able to figure out enough to make my own models in this format (I typed out possibly a tenth of a megabyte by hand), I couldn't figure out the entire specification, since parts of it were only in encrypted files. And no, I couldn't find the specification online either. I'm pretty sure that trying to understand the specification would fall under research, and I couldn't get the access I needed for the research. >:(
