The hex rule 24/2/3H has a common 'messy replicator', a spaceship which produces a backward-traveling copy of itself. Eventually they interact not-cleanly leading to chaos.

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 7, rule = 24/2/3H

My Life metacell is nearly complete. Outputs and inputs are correctly but some must be delayed so they don't interact with each other or arrive too soon in sequence.

In 12/346/3, this is a small ship: x = 3, y = 3, rule = 12/346/3 .2A$A$.2A! Of greater interest is the fact that no cells die until they are 'ready' to, so it continues to work independent of the number of generations, yielding progressively slower ships: x = 3, y = 3, rule = 12/346/32 .2A$A$.2A!

It's so weird, but I don't know why - every time I run Golly, it replaces the contents of GollyPrefs to make that line say python.exe again.

In a (long) blog post from February, Stephen Wolfram talked about the reversibility of the laws of physics, entropy, and - of course - drew comparisons with a cellular automata. Akin to the Margolus neighborhood, it is a one dimensional block CA with the following transition rules, which are reversi...

Here is a upper bound for the smallest universal computer in Bliptile, which emulates W110. I haven't put much effort into making it smaller. The part that does computations fits in a 12x26 bounding box, and the remainder of the pattern is the tape, which can be expanded indefinitely. I'm sure it ca...

Not sure I can get your smaller computer to work as expected, can you elaborate on the input method and which part is the display?

EDIT: Never mind. All eight bits must be entered, including leading zeroes.

I wanted to update this that I have correctly implemented the guts of a metacell, but the fanout assembly is elusive (namely the diagonals). It must be possible but I always get tangled when I try. The clock in the center is for you to see the period 8 logic at work and that any inputs are copacetic...

Hey, been a long time since I was last here. I got a fresh install of Golly on my computer and it requested the location of my Python 3 dll for scripts to run. I pointed it to the exe in the same directory and, understandably, scripts can't run. But I can't see in the preferences where to fix this. ...

This rule is simple, and yet the dynamics resulting from it are unlike anything else I've ever seen working with cellular automata- and I've been messing with them for a long time. Really mesmerizing Sierpinski-Gasket patterns move in conjunction with one another like a strange kaleidoscope from a s...

I was interested in one dynamic of the hexagonal rule B2o3m56/S2om4o, which has its own thread. Random soups that are large enough have infinite novelty - that is to say, it's not just that they expand infinitely, but complicated and interesting glider collisions abound. Could someone make a rule th...

What's wrong with that?

I'm being nitpicky but the definition of 'life-like CA' entails that it is in the Moore neighborhood and totalistic.

Poking around in non-totalistic rules I found B34/S2-a3. Some variants also seem of interest (namely B34/S2-a36i and variants that make it more volatile but still nonexplosive). Infinite growth occurs with a rare but naturally-occurring puffer. By far the most common oscillator is the T-tetromino wh...

This pattern takes 23940 generations to stabilize, entering many 'liquid' an 'gas' phases in between where traffic flows freely or is mildly blocked before finally entering a 'solid' phase where all traffic is blocked.

B36/S235 has always been cool to me because I love the c/2 rocket:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 6, rule = B36/S235

the rule also supports gliders. If it didn't explode, and maybe guns were possible, I would love to engineer patterns in it.
