A '''replicator''' is any pattern that produces copies of itself.
A game invented in October 2009 at First Flight High School where participants use the word appletart or some of its variants. Originally it was focused on who could say it the loudest but has evolved over time. The ways to play include: 1. Who can say appletart the loudest? 2. Who can say appletart the most in a game? 3. Who will say appletart last? 4. Who will day appletart in the funniest or most awkward situations? 5. What word will be matched when someone says appletart? Will it be appletart, applepie, poptart, or something else?1. kid 1: Appletart. kid 2: Appletart! kid 1: APPLETART!

Replicator in HighLife
RLE: here

A replicator is any pattern that produces copies of itself.

Replicators occur naturally in some cellular automata. The best-known example is the replicator in HighLife (B36/S23). In the Replicator rule (B1357/S1357) and Replicator 2 rule (B1357/S02468), every pattern is a replicator. A single alive cell is a replicator in many B1 rules, including Gnarl (B1/S1).

There exists a replicator in any cellular automaton with a universal constructor. Therefore Life, which has a universal constructor, has replicators. A similar situation occurs for the rule B36/S235.
