 400 pattern milestone — March 13th, 2009

LifeWiki is now home to over 400 patterns. Some of the more notable additions since the last milestone include a searchable interface for oscillators, and animated images for all oscillators and spaceships. With a solid base catalogue of patterns now established, one of the main goals for LifeWiki will now be to catalogue more recent discoveries.

 300 pattern milestone — February 6th, 2009

It hasn't even been a month since its launch and LifeWiki has doubled the number of patterns, articles, and images that it contains. In particular, with these new additions LifeWiki now catalogues 132 still lifes; far more than any other source on the web. Thanks go out to Elithrion who has helped us increase the number of animated images available to 74, which is more than double the number that were available a week ago.

 200 pattern milestone — January 27th, 2009

LifeWiki today passed its first notable milestone - it now catalogues over 200 patterns (201 as of this writing). In addition, there are now 263 images, and many of the non-pattern pages have been expanded considerably (see, for example, still life and methuselah).
