Is this pi blinker to glider reaction new, or I'm stupid? x = 41, y = 15, rule = B3/S23 2b3o6b3o6b3o6b3o6b3o5$2o$obo$2bo$obo$2o5$2b3o6b3o6b3o6b3o6b3o! The new blinkers are at a different spacing from the old ones, so it can't be reused. becomes partially reburnable if staggered? still needs a sourc...

P70 HF hassler: snip I don't think this belongs on this thread, especially because my last 2 posts there got moved, but I noticed that if you remove a fishhook, it makes a beehive factory: snip the second this can be used in LCM oscillators: x = 56, y = 55, rule = B3/S23 12b2o3b2o$12b2o3b2o3$8b2o2b...

It looks like this is actually an isotropic non-totalistic rule, just written in MAP format. Do you know what the isotropic rulestring is for this rule? it seems like it's symmetric over rotation but not reflection: x = 63, y = 20, rule = MAPERETQB4eHWkQ7xD4eYZosBQZFixOBHmtFeehExrKVhURLRAqGxeIlSO1J...

ALERT! See above post!

please don't bump your own post like this. also, this kind of reaction isn't actually moving at 3c -- it's just an illusion. information can't be transmitted faster than c.

a periodic glider reflector

even if it's new i don't think it would be of much use

it's color-changing and has a different timing from the p6 bouncer -- you never know when that could be useful.

patterns with this property are called endemic to a particular rule; this is more a question for the basic questions thread in general discussion ( https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2036 ). there's lots of examples around, can't recall the smallest one in cgol but most (but definitel...

Finally figured out a way to delete the blocks from the period-39 Pi hassler without resorting to a period-13 oscillator, resulting in this 78-cell oscillator: x = 34, y = 32, rule = B3/S23 8b2o$7bobo$7bo$2bob2ob2o$2b2obo$5bo$5b2o5$21b2o3b2o$21bobo2b2o$22bo$9b 3o$2b2o5bo2bo$bobo19bo$bo9bo11b3o$2o24...

There is a smaller stabilization for the p30 honey farm hassler that I kept to myself for a while.

i posted this on discord a couple days ago -- it's a wickstretcher that stretches perpendicular to the engine. the engine is a c/23 ship on its own.
this rule has a lot of wacky stuff but idk if it's worth a thread.

this rulespace feels like an evil snowflakes or something where the eponymous snowflakes don't stay solid and instead replicate super messily. the texture of the dense parts the snowflakes leave behind is really nice and brain-ish x = 16, y = 16, rule = B2ce3c4cwz567c8/S01e2i3ck45678 ob2o2bobo2bo$bo...
