Cis-snake on bun is a 13-cell still life which involves a snake stabilising a bun.

Construction

This still life is known to be constructible with 5 gliders. A 6-glider and a 5-glider syntheses were found in 2015.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, List of still lifes with 13 cells

Cis-snake on bun is the 33rd most common 13-cell still life out of 240.

There are no occurrences of this still life in final patterns of collisions catalogued in octohash, octo3obj or octo3g databases.

Isomers

This specific isomer is named cis due to having a smaller bounding box, as the two "ends" of each island are effectively aligned. Since the snake is a stable pattern by itself, the term on is used rather than and.
