So, uh, where should I post P7 partials then? I'm already trying to only post the longer ones.

I think that goldenratio was talking to me (and I intend to obey).

But he shouldn't be mean to you
Also, your comments on fallback are good for me. If I run out of search space and find nothing, I'll have to try w16, and I want to know which partials I should try back. And for that, I'd have to see your comments on fallback.

I didn't interpret it as meanness, but then again, I may be wrong.

Yes, but you probably have an idea of what constitutes good fallback by now. However, if you're worried about not having my comments, here are the aspects of good fallback:

• Falling back a greater distance
• Falling back sooner/more quickly after delivering the spark
• Staying back for longer after falling back

The third point tends to favor higher-period oscillators. The first point also favors higher-period oscillators indirectly because the oscillator can come back at a maximum speed of c orthogonal or c/4 diagonal (and it's often restricted to c/2 orthogonal) in order to deliver the next spark, so it can't fall back farther than it can come back in the time of one period.

Are there anything left on gameoflifetotalwar? It's a rubbish site now.

What is this website? It's all in Thai. I've never heard of it before.

It was a very popular Life-combat online game, played all over the internet, not only on this community. Many members joined because of that website. Its domain name is now taken for whatever reason and became a rubbish Thai site.

Is there any way to find its original version? When did this happen/when was it played?

That was what I was asking. For the second question, there's only one thread about the game on this forum, its here:

lifecompetes was close but not quite the same as totalwar.

What were the rules? Do you think it can be remade?

Wait, you can run soup searches on replit?
EDIT: Oh, it's only around 1000 soups per second in B3/S23/C1.

This is the synthesis of xs19_3pm0mmzw343 with the fewest gliders:

Can someone reduce the synthesis?

I know that there's a thread on the Patterns forums for synthesizing oscillators, but I don't think that there's a thread for synthesizing other patterns. I encourage you to make one.

Soup-based syntheses (it hasn't been posted on in a while)
For non-soup based still life syntheses, the 20-bit still life synthesis thread, and it's kind of pointless for larger still lives unless they have a purpose
EDIT: @hunting that thread is basically the same but it's older so that one is better

I should have clarified that I meant threads that we are allowed to use, i.e. that have an been inactive for more than a year.

[goldenratio]

threads that we are allowed to use

woooow you think someone would get banned if they necroposted longer than a year

Ok but seriously still life syntheses in synthesizing oscillators should be acceptable, look back in the older pages of the thread

[MathAndCode]

woooow you think someone would get banned if they necroposted longer than a year

That is an exaggeration, but I understand how you could be confused because the English language only has a finite number of words, so it only convey the intended meaning with a certain amount of accuracy.

I did.
EDIT:

Then use more words at a time.

Then use more words at a time.

I couldn't think of a way to do that without making the sentence awkward.

Is it truly impossible to stabilize the P45 gun/oscillator using P9 oscillators?

Code: Select all

Did you randomly thought about the p45 gun, or you saw one of my posts?

Also, I posted a 9 glider synthesis but catagolue still says 10.

xs19_3pm0mmzw343
That's surprising. How did my synthesis even got to catagolue? No one even tried to reduce the 4 gliders spark to 3 gliders.

You have to wait a few hours for it to get on to the database.

The longest-lasting eight-cell methuselah probably consists of an R-pentomino and a preblock or blinker. The longest-lasting nine-cell methuselah is probably an R-pentomino and a predecessor of a traffic light or something, and the longest-lasting eleven-cell methuselah may even just be an R-sequence and a predecessor for a honey farm or something.
