Precede (Game)

[Wyirm]

This is a simple logic game, with one rule. Your post must contain a direct father to the post before it. Don't change the rule, and you should be fine.
An example would be:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S2-i3-a4iy
b2o$2o$bo!

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 7, rule = B3/S2-i3-a4iy
b2obo$b3o$2b3o$o2b2o$o$bo$2bo!

Predecessors do not have to be optimal, but they can be. If the predecessor created is a garden of eden, congratulations, and we start a new pattern.

Here's the starting one, and it's in Life. It's well-known as a placed cell. Finding a predecessor is trickier, though.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

Rewinding the second one arbitrarily far:

Since that's probably a garden of eden, let's do a restart.
