Catalyses (Game)

Each round, the poster posts an active region, like this one:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 4, rule = B3/S23
3bo$o2b2o$b2o$2bo!

The active region must be inside a 8x8 bounding box. (Edit: I’ve loosened this constraint to make the game more playable, )
Then someone places catalysts around the active region, to 1. eat the active region or 2. turn the active region into a 'standard' methuselah, plus some optional gliders. Like this:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
2o$bo$bobo$2b2o2b2o$6b2o2$12b2o$7bo4b2o$4bo2b2o$5b2o$6bo$2b2o$bobo$bo$
2o!

Then (s)he becomes the new poster, and the process continues.

To begin:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 4, rule = B3/S23

There is a trivial glider converter, see if anyone can spot it.
