Code: Select all

x = 79, y = 37, rule = B3/S23

I have seen the exact same pattern, however I can’t find it right now.

[yujh]

reply to unname, since I think I got quoted: no luck finding the eater thus far. I remember it being posted somewhere between 2015 to 2019 in the patterns subforum along with some other xwss eaters and partial eaters. I can be very wrong on this though.

the glider eating part is however much easier to find: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Eater#Glide ... overy_time (7)

Honestly, this should be locked. Random Posts-esque stuff shouldn't be allowed at all, to be honest.

As I said in an earlier post in this thread,

The purpose of the thread is stated in the opening post. However, I want to stress, as I did in the opening post, that this is not a "random posts" thread.

This thread is meant for miscellaneous posts and discussions that don't warrant their own thread. Generally, it's best if they are CA related, although other topics are allowed.

Subject: (none)



"Show subject" is on by default.

Sorry, I don't think I follow. Is there in issue with how the forums are being displayed for you?

[confocaloid]

What the heck is this thread? And why don't we just lock it?

Um... can someone lock this thread?

Honestly, this should be locked. Random Posts-esque stuff shouldn't be allowed at all, to be honest.

I don't really understand bumping an existing thread with a comment suggesting that the thread be locked, without providing a specific reason. For rule-violating posts there is the report button. You can simply ignore threads you don't like or are not interested in.
Even when e.g. the main initial purpose of a thread is accomplished, I think it makes sense to leave the thread open for any further relevant discussion.

Challenge idea: find a non-engineered Herschel-to-glider converter that can follow the syringe and complete it into a closed track composed of two elementary conduits.

How do I use herschel notation with a multistate rule?

I don’t know. Maybe try a rule where herschel has the exact same evolutionary sequence as in Life?

Is this the version with the least number of conduits?

I also do not know if it is Spartan if the snake is replaced with a fishhook - is the snark spartan???

Just curious... What is the smallest thing that can count the number of gliders in a signal?

Hi, what is the smallest way to count the number of gliders in a signal, and that only has to count from 1 to 9? And are there any other toggle circuits?

having the flu is weird.

on the one hand, sleep is basically impossible your nose is congested beyond belief, while on the other hand, you get to stay in bed all day and cuddle with your pillow.

While a ship costs 3 gliders, a certain ship-and-glider combination still costs 3 gliders and catagolue has a synthesis that implicitly uses it:

I suspect that they can reduce some syntheses involving a tie.

Out of curiosity, why "period-agnostic"? I thought period-agnostic would refer to a reaction that is useful for creating oscillators of different periods. This 117P9H3V0 eater probably can be described as "pseudo-stable" or "phase-agnostic" (it has a state and contains an oscillator, but works as if it was stable and stateless).

Anyway, here is a period-agnostic 117P9H3V0 eater (yes, it is bistable):

Continued from my last post here, two more random results for syntheses.

How do you search through 4-glider syntheses to look for constellations containing a still life that costs 4G?

What exactly is so special about this October? We have seen a number of newcomers making many threads for OCA rules. Apart from this one, they (123456789) tend to have rather simple rule definitions and only a handful of objects to start a discussion with. Is this because more general threads as incubators are ignored?

EDIT: there are three more (123). And no, I will not think B35/S23 as a succesful rule before it develops reusable signal circuits. Even if my opinion does not matter, I would not approve of that LifeWiki article.

[hotdogPi]

Maybe they're seeing the success of B35/S23 and trying to copy it? Just a guess.
