Welcome to the world of methuselahs! We will start with a methuselah(R-Pentomino) and make it last longer by using the following moves:
1.Add 1 cell
2.Turn 1 cell off
3.Move 1 cell
My first move(Type 3)1103M-1105M
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 4, rule = LifeSuper
.C$.D$3A$A!
If it is impossible, then do two of the normal moves. If it is still impossible, do 3 of the normal moves. You get the idea. Also I will have a term called density, which is The population/The bounding box area, and that must be at least 0.0075. Or make the (L/MCPS)/4 be greater than the last methuselah.
If no one has posted the next pattern, feel free to change your pattern. You are allowed to make two consecutive moves.

Edit 2:Density too low but I will accept it. And of course not L/MCPS

Let's start a new game, and please don't increase the lifespan by more than 300 gens in a turn.
Code: Select all
#C Lifespan: 92 generations
x = 5, y = 4, rule = LifeHistory
4.A$2.A.A$A.3A$2.A!
EDIT: Something about the pattern was off, so I fixed it. but either way, EV's move would be valid.

the new pattern is an R-pentomino predecessor with a null beehive.

We'll start with domino and make it last longer by using the following moves:
• Add 1 cell
• Remove 1 cell
My first move (Add 1 cell) 1M -> 2M
Code: Select all
x = 0, y = 0, rule = DoubleB3S23
.2C$B!
If it is impossible, then do two of the moves. I will have term called 'density' which is population/boundingBox, and that must be at least 0.01. Or make (L/MCPS) be greater than the last pattern. You are not allowed to make two or more consecutive moves.
