Hard, but not impossible...
Wow. Wasn't sure we were going to see a recipe for that any time soon. Seems like if that mini-Borg SL is buildable, the next group of still lifes (the 19-bitters) doesn't stand a chance.
That doesn't say so much about the 17-bit and 18-bit still lifes being constructible at less than one glider per bit, though -- this recipe needs 83 gliders to make a 35-bit still life.
Here's the continuous synthesis, produced by the usual process of being mystified about why
chris_c's script isn't working, and then finding another place where the spacing wasn't consistent, and fixing it, and being annoyed that the script still doesn't work, and then finally finding the very last off-by-one problem and getting a good result.
Code:
Select all
x = 1449, y = 315, rule = B3/S23

Someone should really patch up that script so that it does auto-alignment between stages, or at least some level of alignment verification, instead of just assuming everything is perfect.
