Methuselahs

[Nicbudd77]

If you have any interesting Methuselahs, post them here with the RLE please. Thanks.

OK, here's a few.

Two honeyfarm reaction running 10722 generations:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

Fuse (→ R + 2 blinkers) running 6634 generations:

Tropylium, I like your Methuselahs. They are very interesting, but in the rle's, I had to change the rule life to 23/3. Just something I wanted to point out.

In Golly, you can just copy and paste the pattern, regardless of rule.

Oh. When I did it, It didn't work. Maybe it is because I don't have perl or python.

[Gtetr]

Here, not sure if this one's been found.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 4, rule = B3/S23
o3b2o$bo2bo$bobobo$2bo!

Okay, I was just wondering about something- Can unidimensional patterns (1*N) be counted as methuselahs?
If so, here are some interesting and simple methuselahs you can add in to the list in the wiki:

Of course, the most famous one in there is the infinite-growth pattern (though that's not a methuselah)-

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Pos=0,0
x = 39, y = 1, rule = B3/S23
