One of the most absurd MWSS syntheses I have ever seen:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 30, rule = B3/S23
12bo$12bobo$12b2o8$13b2o$13bo$b2o8bobo$o2bo7b2o$bo2bo$2b3o5$8b2o$6bo2b
o$6b3o$3bo$3b4o$o5bo$4o$3bo$2bo$2b2o!
And look at this eater at gens 52-55... almost a catalysed synthesis of the great on-off or whatever the p2 is called.

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 17, rule = B3/S23
22bo$o19b3o$2o17bo$b2o16b2o$2o4$20bob2o$20b2obo4$17bob2o$12b2o3b2obo$
12b2o!
Otherwise boring

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

The difference is that my pattern stays inside the box.

This one does 24 generations:

No, that rule cannot have lightspeed ships. That signal is also known.
