There is a slight variant on this:

x = 8, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
b2o2b2o$3b2o$3b2o$obo2bobo$o6bo2$o6bo$b2o2b2o$2b4o2$3b2o$3b2o!

Reminds me of a breast stroke swimmer.

Sorry

Although I was slightly excited they wasn't in the database... Oh well, I have a lot to learn.

Ummm here's another one, again not in codercontest database: b3s23 w8 p4 k1 x = 14, y = 27, rule = B3/S23 2b3o4b3o$3bo6bo3$2b3o4b3o$6b2o$bo4b2o4bo$bo2bo4bo2bo$3b2o4b2o$2obobo2b obob2o$bo3bo2bo3bo$2bo8bo$bo2bo4bo2bo$2b2o6b2o$2bob6obo$bob3o2b3obo$5b 4o$2o10b2o$4bo4bo$3b3o2b3o2$3b2o4b2o$3bo6bo$2b3o4b3o...

Discovered using zdr's code:

b3s23 w8 p3 k1

It isn't in codercontest.com database.

Code: Select all

The code sometimes is nearly there.

BTW, zdr - who coded it and what is the licence on this code (way over my head)? Public Domain?

Post above by Sokwe:

Thanks for a comprehension reply. I know the command line options, as I have read through the code - just didn't understand the syntax of GOL objects and what they do.

Nick

Linicks

Edit: How long did it take to find the ship? I just ran this search in gfind and it refound the ship in a little over an hour. It's really amazing this wasn't found sooner. velcrorex, can you show the recipe using gfind on how to get this? I have been messing with gfind for hours, but only end up w...

Thanks Guys, great help!

I have been keeping an eye on the thread in PATTERNS about the new glider found, I just got gfind, and it works well. Now, where do I find if something I have found already has been discovered? Also, is there an index that explains the all the c/10 et al stuff that describes all these objects? Thank...

Yea, I did that but the colours didn't reset. I managed to do manually via preferences->colour, but now understand what you mean - crikey, there are options within options to change everything in all sorts of permutations. OK, I will have to mess about a bit to learn the interface better. Thanks for...

Linicks

Interesting stuff. I read about GOL in the early 70's somewhere, and me and my mate at school used to mess around with it on graph paper and a pencil - basically just doing the basic gliders and stuff that was already discovered, and, as you can imagine, it took ages to get anywhere, and one mistake...

Linicks

Ah, OK, I see. Thanks.

Now how do I reset the colours to red on black - somehow I am stuck on white and black now after running something from here?

Thanks,

Nick

Linicks

How can I set Golly back to just use the basic Conway GOL rules - after loading a few things, it appears to stay in whatever rule set was last used - and looking at all the options, I haven't clue what I am supposed to be looking for to do this?

Any help appreciated, thanks,

Nick

Linicks

Amazing thread! I didn't know Golly can do this! If you use the wordsmith anagram page: http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=gameoflife&t=1000&a=n and get a list of all the anagrams it produces from "gameoflife", you get this: x = 14, y = 419, rule = B3/S23 7ob3o$6ob3obo$6ob2ob2o$5ob3ob2...
