Re: "Extended" Generations rules

muzik, Carefully read this post: https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3479#p62281 It is possible to sprinkle rule table rows with states other than those used to define a generations rule. I call such rules 'modified generations rules' and provide a button to generate and test them. Br...

Re: Diaphotons

Yoel,

Nice rule!

Consider adding a still life block using a 4th state as a photon stream stopper. I think this will address Moosey's comment and allow the separation of interesting interactions.
