Object Usage Thread
A thread for talking about possible usages of the objects. You can post here if you find an use for something,whether the first possible or not.
This is not useless,as someone may think.

Re: Object Usage Thread
An example usage of the eater-2 variant (doesn't work with regular eater-2):
Code: Select all
x = 14, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

Re: Object Usage Thread
I don't see the point of this thread, and you didn't provide any useful information here. The usage of an object would be discussed the place it is discovered, and otherwise it's pretty much useless.
TL;DR: This thread should go to the sandbox, like the Find a use for the Mango thread.

You didn't even understand how the forum works. The sandbox is a dump for non-serious discussions to avoid cluttering up the four main forums.BokaBB wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2020, 7:32 amThis thread is about patterns,so it belongs here.Hunting wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2020, 5:56 amI don't see the point of this thread, and you didn't provide any useful information here.

Re: Object Usage Thread
Just curious, how do you set up the poll? I have not seen this function available for common users. Maybe it is limited to moderators?
EDIT: no, it's just that it works only in Website Discussion, Bugs & Errors and Patterns.

I think it might be useful, for those who don't know how to use catalysts (like me).

What IS Useful
People who are new to CGol have no idea what all the objects ARE and much less about their use;
to have a thread that consolidates all various and disparate items scattered throughout the Forum
is extremely useful to someone new, and even to someone like me, who does not know everything:
A GoTo when you have no clue where to goto - and so no need to ask for help - which may or may NOT be Useful...
Cheers !

1. Redundant threads DOES hurt. BokaBB created several redundant threads, which makes it hard to find actual stuff. And those threads only contains random ideas, instead of actual progress.
2. The creation of a new thread, especially in the Patterns forum, is usually discussed a lot to prevent cluttering. (The early threads are not counterexamples - at that time the forum is only freshly started, and so does its users. That is like, posting novel p2s in the LeapLife thread is appreciated for now, but you'll probably be blamed for doing that after a year of development.)
3. Objects are invented for a purpose. There's no such thing called "I found a potentially useful SL, let's find a place where it can be useful!"
4. The forum is not supposed to be a storage of miscallenous stuff. Summaries, for example, is supposed to be published elsewhere, like a personal blog.
Re: What IS Useful
Sorry for double post but copying is painful on the phone and you can no longer quote posts on the Post Review when editing.
You keep claiming that you are not new but the way we define "new" is: do not understand how the forum works and you obviously fits.

Re: Object Usage Thread
TL;DR of the entire thread:
One interesting eater 2 variant catalysis and a lot of Sandbox-quality discussion.
Why is this in the Patterns sub-forum? Most objects are noted because they have usage in the first place, like 31.4 was only brought up to "notable" status because it was used in the Snark. The hat+table eater 2 variant was only brought up to "slightly notable" status because it was a fairly cheap and straightforward eater 2 variant, as seen in syntheses of Buckingham's p13. If I were to create an eater 2 variant right now
(fun fact: i was creating a variant but i realised it was at least slightly notable because it was, iirc, the smallest weld of an eater 2 and eater 1 specifically for that distance, sorry, it can be found to the left, that's why i have script commands)
(feel free to disprove me though)
there is pretty much no way i would ever remember it in one hour.
