Life+HighLife

[danieldb]

I was thinking of a rule where 1 state is highife and the other is regular life.

[gameoflifeboy]

Here you go:

Code: Select all

@RULE HemiHighLife
@TABLE

n_states:3
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute

var a = {0,1}
var b = a
var c = a
var d = a

var l = {0,2}
var m = l
var n = l
var o = l

#Birth conditions
0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,2
0,2,2,2,0,0,0,0,0,1
0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,1

#Survival conditions. If an on cell touches a different color, it doesn't change state.
1,a,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
2,l,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,1,1,a,0,0,0,0,0,2
2,2,2,l,0,0,0,0,0,1
1,1,1,1,1,a,b,c,d,0
2,2,2,2,2,l,m,n,o,0

State 1 behaves like Life and becomes state 2 if successful. State 2 behaves like HighLife and becomes state 1.
If an off cell touches both types of on cells, it will stay off. If an on cell touches a cell of the opposite color, it doesn't change state.

The above rule is nice, but I wanted two seperate states that run normal patterns, and that don't birth eachother, although looking back, that might be impossible.

It's possible, but the result would be pretty boring...

one would be high life and one regular life

Still possible. Just change it so that a red cell is born if it has six neighboring red and white cells (though it turns white if it is also surrounded by three green and white cells), and have a green cell that would survive turn white if surrounded by six red or white neighbors. It still seems like there wouldn't be much of a point, but...

... maybe it would be possible to make rules where in certain uncommon conditions, one rule can birth a cell in the other... The most obvious option would be modifying doublelife like this, allowing singularity sparkers or something.

I guess this is closer to what you were asking for:

This is my interpretation. Both states treat each other as living. (A problem with this interpretation would appear if there were a birth rule for an even number of neighbours in both rulesets.)

It's related to the quadfuse.

The three-rake pattern is a feedback loop. For every one-glider gap in the NW-traveling stream, a SE1traveling glider survives, which collides with a SW-traveling glider in a way that leaves another gap in the NW-traveling stream.
