Finally trying out stable Herschel tracks...
Posted: July 9th, 2009, 11:10 am
I've been playing around with Life for a while, and I've made lots of interesting patterns, but I've never gotten into Herschel tracks. I've decided to try because of the computation and complicated things you can create with them. After lots of searching for non-".lif" resources for Herschel tracks, (Golly cant open ".lif" file extensions.) I've played around and made a few things.
Here's my first try:
Its just 2 different loops and 3 experimental conduits. (At least I think they're called that) The eaters with dots near them are not part of the conduit, just to make sure gliders don't get away.
I still don't quite understand how people make stuff like glider-to-LWSS converters and patterns that do cool things with this.
Here's my first try:
Code: Select all
x = 318, y = 226, rule = B3/S23
