Today I realized something was a dream and INTENTIONALLY got out of it! I always thought it was a thing that only happened in stories. It was a really well made dream, too; it was just me washing dishes, hopeless because of the number piled into the sink, but I still had to do it because I had prom...

What’s more, do anyone knows how to add rules by asking questions?

An ice cream was eaten by a staff.

how do you define a good subject changer?

Did you mean something to be suitably changing the topic, or someone who can easily lead a topic to another way?

i just realised how dumb i've been this whole time...: x = 28, y = 24, rule = B3/S23 24bo$24b3o$27bo$26bo$25bo$24bo$23bo$22bo$21bo$20bo$19bo$18bo$17bo$16b o$15bo$14bo$13bo$12bo$11bo$10bo$9bo$3o3bobo$2bo3b2o$bo! Basically this has already found by me (perhaps already by a lot of us) but failed to po...

Rules about singular expression Composite operators: +=: a += b is equivalent to a = a + b. ++: ++a is equivalent to a = a + 1. ==: ==a is equivalent to a = -a, since you sometimes need to decrease the value. It’s similar to C++ if you have learnt that, but not totally the same. Finally, you’re all...

I'd like to start a new round (not disturbing the pervious ongoing games) with the following rule: Every player in this round (players) are only allowed to post a string of less than, let's say, 256 characters. The string must follow a type of expression mentioned below as the Singular Expression, s...

x = 5, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 2b3o$bo$2o$bo! This is a 7-cell automata that stabilizes at around 1600 generations. I found this while trying to make a useful Pi-heptomino spaceship. In order to tell others about a pattern, you ought to use LifeViewer using the code tag. Quote my reply and see how I’m...

If there are black holes, are there also white holes? In other words, the internal pattern cannot be interfered with from the outside, and all the internal patterns are emitted to the outside. This is a prototype I made. x = 502, y = 529, rule = LifeHistory 499.E.E$499.2E$500.E26$7.4B3.A.9B.B3.4B$7...

Isn't that a different kind of relative?

Why answering with a question that - I can’t mention the suitable accurate word in English - already has an answer which everyone knows what you’re meaning?
(This sentence has 3 sub-sentences (uuurgggghhh just can’t find the appropriate word)!)

This rule made by myself (if it hasn’t been discovered) has this tiny splitter: #CXRLE Pos=-1,-7 x = 3, y = 12, rule = B2e3ein4ae5eiy6c/S1e2ace3jny4at5ei7e bo$bo9$3o$bo! It’s the minrule of it. Edit #1: Surprisingly simple single-channel elbow construction, but needs a way to construct another p2 os...

I think it's about time to try to make a orthogonoid. Single-channel push and fire operations. Maybe someone can find an odd-numbered pull reaction? If so, the dot would be a fully operable construction arm. x = 125, y = 57, rule = B2ci3aery4eqr5aeiq6acn78/S01c2ei3-i4ijrtz5ainry7c8History 6$68.F$68...

I got one: Do there exist an object in my rule that is formed in round-block style (see my newest posts in Coexistence in the OCA forum) but eventually evolves into something that breaks the final sequence of the former round block when converting to Life cells? (That is, do there exist a pattern co...

What do you mean by relative?

Anyone’s got an idea on how to make the ‘round’ block in my rule NOT to work as in normal life? I mean, without any other non-round-block cells? I ran an R on Golly but it turned out that there’s nothing interrupted in the evolution, except some blocks left by the corners of the round blocks. This c...

I made a rule much more like Coexistence: #CXRLE Pos=-4,-4 x = 16, y = 12, rule = R4,C0,S2-3,21-26,30-35,B3,27-32,NW090000000900000009000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010101000000090000010001000009000000010101000000000000000000000000000000000000000000090000000900000009 12o$12o$12o$12o$12b4o...

Here's a rule which simulates B3/S23 completely in 2*2, but failed to do so (at all) in 1*1. It's notable that 2*2 neigbhourhood are usually even harder to design since it's really close to 1*1. R2,C2,S2,17-21,24-29,B3,21-26,NW7070701110710170111070707 There must be some better ways to do this, but ...

What does a NOT gate mean?
My 522nd post!

If the input is true it gives false, otherwise it would be true.

So is it basically a inline inverter?

Yeah it is since such gate can only be simulated by infinite checking stream in CA.

NOT gate: x = 189, y = 86, rule = B2i34ceq5y6a/S23-ce4e6i bo$2bo$3o9$12bo$13bo$11b3o2$187bo$186bo$186b3o5$23bo$24bo$22b3o2$176bo $175bo$175b3o9$165bo$164bo$130bobo31b3o$128bo3b2o$132bo$126b2o2bo$126b o2bo$45bo80bobo$46bo80b2o$44b3o3$120bo$121bo$119b3o$111bo$110b3o$109bo 2b2o$112b2o$113b2o$112bo2$14...

Mapping out random patterns and seeing their evolution. I just got lucky while searching for frontends. ...

Got some interesting discoveries in B23/S24[HR1D]: 12 cells in a line creates P4: #CXRLE Pos=-3,-2 x = 12, y = 5, rule = R2,C0,S14,24,B10,15:T1000,5 12o$12o$12o$12o$12o! P13 with predecessor of a 22 cells line, which I’d like to call as pentadethalon: #CXRLE Pos=-6,-2 x = 22, y = 5, rule = R2,C0,S14...

Thanks to the custom neighborhoods by Wyirm, I now have some rulestrings that are interesting: 1. R2,C2,S2,4,B2-3: has (until now) 4 ships, including a c, 2 c/3s and a c/5. c: 10111 c/3: 10011011, 100010011011 c/5: 11011011011010101 There’s no still life, but even period oscillators are common. 2.
