Nice find! That is known as the thunderbird.

I like to call it the 243, because it takes 243 generations to stop spreading to new cells. Thanks for the correct name.

Use RLE

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

The bottom cell can be removed:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
3o2$bo$bo$bo!

(as per the wiki page for the thunderbird)

By adding a block you can make a methuselah that produces a toad and several pis.

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 39, rule = Conway's Life

The methuselah lasts 1,581 generations and this is what it looks like after it's stablized(minus the two escaped gliders)

Code: Select all

x = 97, y = 95, rule = Conway's Life
