Reporting negative results for c/3 orthogonal (JLS): No w20a ships. No w39o ships. No w40e ships. No w41g ships. It seems like everything manages to get a few rows in before suddenly getting "stuck" and unable to extend any further; yet there seem to be actual frontends. I don't know what prevents ...

Golly seems to crash in these two situations: 1. When the population changes from 154 to 155. 2. When the population is 157 in two consecutive generations, usually; there's a small chance of it surviving and a small chance of a visually glitched screen but no behavior changes. How do I fix this?

It is sadly impossible to reduce the oscillator's period from 564 as a result of the Mazings used to eat the unwanted internal gliders. P6 or p3 eaters allow the period to be halved to p282: x = 74, y = 87, rule = B3/S23 37b2o$29b2ob2o2bo2bo$30bobo4bobo$29bo3b3obobob2o$29bob2o6bobo$30b2o2bo b2obo2b...

tommy please remove the 250 rule so we can make diehards

That is very dangerous. In theory, I could construct a pattern that dies out if and only if some turing machine halts. The 250 rule is needed to ensure that the game is computable.

There are still patterns which are not following the rules. But wwei23 never comes back again (it's account is deleted), so I think we can modify the rules now. I think I'll take over the topic. Wait, hang on, hang on... So you're saying that because the owner is gone, you can take over the thread ...

i found a map of 2beacon2table

I noticed that a bunch of beacon clusters are still lying around and that some of them are out of sync within themselves. Are you sure the plugin is working?

I think it goes both ways. A birth transition is a cell turning on. A birth condition describes when a birth transition happens. They are paired together very tightly; every birth transition that ever happens happens because of a birth condition. Something like "B3a" is both a birth condition in the...

Request for computing power: Back in 2020, I posted these P7 HW emulator frontends.

what did you change? i cant tell

I added this. Good luck aligning the beacon phases!
