Someone should create an application that is Minesweeper except the mines must be a still life or constellation of still lifes. For example, this is solvable already (even if the number of mines isn't given), but only because it's such a small grid:
Code:
Select all
x = 25, y = 19, rule = LifeHistory
25F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.
F5.F$25F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F5.F5.F5.F$F5.F
5.F5.F5.F$25F$F5.F.B.B.F5.F5.F$F5.F.B.B.F5.F5.F$F5.F.3B.F5.F5.F$F5.F
3.B.F5.F5.F$F5.F3.B.F5.F5.F$25F!
For a 10×10 grid, 30 mines might be doable, since there are a lot more restrictions on where mines can be if they have to follow CGOL rules.
I don't know whether it should follow the standard rules or the
cruel but fair rules.
