My Pattern is Larger (Game)
My Pattern is Larger (Game)
In My Pattern is Larger the goal is to post a succession of CGOL patterns, each one larger than the last one, but the change must be as small as possible.
Thanks a lot to Moosey and their game My number is larger (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4907) for inspiration.
Here's how much points each pattern scores for size.
Still lifes are worth their cell number.
Oscillators and spaceships are worth the average number of cells they have during a single period.
Infinite growth patterns and sawtooths are forbidden.
Sparks are worth the average number of cells they have from the beginning to the last generation before death.
Unstable patterns that aren't sparks are forbidden.
Non-CGOL patterns are forbidden.
Non-natural numbers can be used, as well as common constellations that naturally occur (like a traffic light or a bakery is good, but a random assortment of 17 blocks is not).
It's allowed to restart the game if most players agree.
Lemme begin: dot spark, 1

3, blinker. Note: non-natural numbers can be used, as well as common constellations that naturally occur (like a traffic light or a bakery is good, but a random assortment of 17 blocks is not).

My Pattern is Larger 2
Let's restart this game.
Rules:
1. You must post CGOL or OCA pattern bigger than the previous one, but the population change (maximum 10) and the bounding box change (maximum +8*+8) must be small.
2. Here's how much points each pattern scores:
2.1 Still lifes are worth their population.
2.2 Oscillators and spaceships are worth the average population during a period.
2.3 Sparks and diehards are worth the average population from the beginning (gen 0) to the last generation before death.
2.4 Infinite growth patterns and sawtooths are not allowed.
2.5 Methuselahs (excluding sparks and diehards) are not allowed.
2.6 Explosive rules are not allowed due to common infinite growth patterns.
3. Non-natural numbers and common constellations are allowed.
I begin: blinker (3):
