2 more rules!

The first rule is where the extended states integrated, meaning that each extra states recognizes other states to survive

Code: Select all

@RULE ExtendedLivesIntegrated
0: Vaccuumm
1: Normal
2: Birthforce
3: Both Combined
4: Deathforce

@COLORS
1 255 255 255

this allows something like this to exist:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 2, rule = ExtendedLivesIntegrated
BC$DB!

but how they are born I've left unchanged, so not an integrated glider


the other rule has a small change. when a extended state dies, a normal life cell is born when the condition is right

Code: Select all

@RULE ExtendedLives2
0: Vaccuumm
1: Normal
2: Birthforce
3: Both Combined
4: Deathforce

var h = {0,1}

var i = {0,1,2,3,4}
var j = {i}
var k = {i}
var l = {i}
var m = {i}
var n = {i}
var o = {i}
var p = {i}

var a1 = {0,2,3,4}
var a2 = {a1}
var a3 = {a1}
var a4 = {a1}
var a5 = {a1}

this has subtle (not rly) changes in the rules, like state 3 glider:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = ExtendedLives2
3C$2.C$.C!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = ExtendedLives
3C$2.C$.C!

[77topaz]

Just to note, you misspelled "Integrated" in the title of your rule "ExtendedLivesInegrated".

[jimmyChen2013]

Just to note, you misspelled "Integrated" in the title of your rule "ExtendedLivesInegrated".

dont know how i managed to spell both wrong, but fixed

[Billabob]

I wrote a simple search program and found 1,560 oscillators that use the "blocker" cells. Here are some rare periods:

Hopefully some of these can be stabilised with sparkers or catalysts. I can provide more oscillators upon request - I have all periods under 103, except for 78, 80, 82, 91, 94, 97 and 99.

[Billabob]

Hello again. I apologise for double posting, but I've decided to release my script and every oscillator it found. Be warned: my code is NOT for the faint of heart.

Many of the oscillators are hopeless - especially the ones with blocker cells buried inside the rotor. Some oscillators can be chained together, requiring only a couple of grey cells per link. (Notably including a P38 traffic-lights hassler that can be seen in the previous post). There doesn't seem to be much interest in using related rules to help find patterns in Life, but hopefully at least one of you finds this post useful.

[dvgrn]

Moved to a new thread a series of patterns using a competing rule called "extendedlife". This caused mysterious errors if you tried to open those patterns in ExtendedLife, if you were running Golly on a non-case-sensitive OS. The new patterns mostly have more states than ExtendedLife supports.

If everyone takes my suggestion, all these "extendedlife" patterns will get edited to use the rule "extendedlifephpbb12345" instead, to get rid of the naming conflict.

EDIT: The line of discussion about the Confusing New ExtendedLife That's Actually A Different Rule stopped pretty quickly, and nobody seems to have taken my suggestion about going back and editing their old posts... and now LifeViewer is actually capable of simulating these rules in-browser, if only the rule names didn't overlap.

Now, "extendedlifephpbb12345" seems kind of long and arbitrary, and there's apparently an existing pattern collection with the rule name "extendedlifefancy". I'll add this to the LifeWiki Rule: namespace, and change all the patterns posted as "extendedlifephpbb12345" to use "extendedlifefancy" instead. Anyone who doesn't like this solution should please explain what they think should be done instead.
