Thread For Your Bad Invention Ideas
Here’s where you can come up with useless ideas to make in CGoL and or OCA.
My first idea is to make a construction arm but if it tries to construct something, it immediately self destructs. My second idea is to make a computer that will run the halting problem. My third idea is to make the RCT, but it goes outward, technically having to be renamed the RRCT (Reversed Reverse Caber Tosser). And finally, my fourth idea is to make a catalyst, but it can only eat a rare still life.

Sure, I was a bad person, but I have changed myself.
I'd love to befriend anybody who's interested.

Re: Thread For Your Bad Invention Ideas
Can the RCT be used for destruction as well as construction?
