Hi there,
today was my first time I ever toyed around with the game of life.
I drew random figures in an application named "Golly", and after about 20 minutes I saw a figure creating itself from my pattern, which was so funny, I had to share it.
Look yourself:

It's definetely mine, and you shouldn't be able to find this pattern somewhere on the net i added a note in the video at the very and with a link to this post.
What do you think about it? ^^
=)
i just toyed around with it, producing symmetric patterns which freezed after a while. And then this came up, just astounding. Just wanted to share it.
Sorry for misspelling words, I'm not a native english writer.
x = 5, y = 6, rule = extendedlife
.A.A$A.F.A$AF.FA$.A.A$.A.A$2.A!
If you remove the bottom cell from that pattern, it evolves into an interesting p26 oscillator, which resembles the evolution of a Pi-Heptomino in some generations.
