I didn't mean "how do you earn them?" I meant "Where do you get them from?":D

I have wondered for a while about this, how do members of the forum get patterns (that change) as avatars?

thank you

Well, what would a linear spaceship be? This all sounds timecubic to me... A linear patternis a pattern that has an infinite number of cells (but it can be contained inside either a paralellogram/rectangle in which one of the dimensions of them is "infinite" the other is "finite") For planar it mea...

Hmm. Interesting. Well, a linear spaceship would be a growing spaceship; those already exist. Most linear replicators are linear sawtooths as well, I guess. A planar spaceship, that is, a growing 2D spaceship, already exists too; I'm thinking of the c/4 to c/5 growing oblique spaceship, which, I gu...

I've been thinking about patturns with an infinite population (defined by a lattice) either in one dimensions like a wick: call that "linear" or in 2 dimensions like an agar: call that "planar" Now if a patturn is finite it could be called "0 dimensional" and the catorgaries are: Still life Oscillat...

My way would be to state it in terms of the "L/I" (lifespan divided by initial population) but have no idea what number it should be!

In terms of stablilize if it becomes either a series (or one) other known patturns that have repetition of any form

I have considered looking at the fate of rectangles a 162x162 x = 162, y = 162, rule = B3/S23 162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$ 162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$ 162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o$162o...

Nice try, but we're after a finite self-replicating pattern. Otherwise, you could solve the omniperiodicity problem, as well, with infinite glider streams of periods 19, 23, 29, ... doesn't say that here: http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/index.php?title=Replicator and what's this got to do with an "o...

If you have a line 1 cell thick that stretches on for infinity in both directions(it's a repeating infinite pattern similar to wick and agars so i guess it's valid) I don't know with absolute certainty, but I think it might be a "replicator" (in "Life") I don't know how to import infinite patterns (...

this statement from the "wiki" doesn't seem to make sense: "that oscillators are known that oscillate at all periods other than 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53" does it mean: oscillators can oscillate at all periods other than 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53" (as in these are the only periods that are i...

this pattern gives birth to 4 gliders (I think) and a load of still lifes (that I haven't counted yet )

here's mine after it's stabilised x = 83, y = 55, rule = B0123478/S01234678 51b2o$50bo2bo27bo$51b2o8b2o17bobo$2b2o7b2o42bo4bo2bo16bobo$bo2bo6b2o 42bo5b2o18bo$2b2o51bo2$34b2o$34b2o2$81bo$21b2o45b2o10bobo$21b2o45b2o 10bobo$81bo$3o2$44b3o2$42bo5bo$42bo5bo$42bo5bo3b2o$52b2o9b2o$44b3o16b 2o12$44b2o$44b2o...

a methusela?
Edit btw does anyone know how to pronounce the word?

Now how do you find the code for a pattern to post it in this forum? I can't seem to work it out.

I think I may have proven that they don't exist! or at least not in 2D anyway in 1D "semi breeders" (level 2) can exist (in theory) in 2D you also have "breeders" (level 3) aswell in 3D you also have "super breeders" (level 4) aswell in 4D you also have "hyper-5 breeders" (level 5) aswell etc... pos...

Thanks for the info but my question about pasting was where abouts in Golly do you paste it? Sorry i should have worded it better

I thought it might be easier to post this here rather than create a new thread, I'm new to this forum and have never studied the game of life in detail and a lot of the board has codes on it that I can't use. I have "Golly" now but don't know how to use it. Do you have to set the rules for which CA ...

They paste into Golly, the program that Extrementhusiast linked to up the page. If you need a hand getting it to work, feel free to ask. It might not be work if your computer is really old though. I think I do need help actually the patturns seem to work to fast at such a small scale for me to work...

Thanks for the codes, but they're useless to me! What do you do with them? If they're for the home page i can't use them you might have to do something else sorry

I am a complete beginner at this (although I have known about the game of life for a couple of years and have read a lot about configurarations) But I've never studied any patturn, because I've never had the resources to :( So my ideas are only based on guess work. The idea that a "breeder" can have...

Hello I'm new here :D (first post!) anyway I had an idea for a type of patturn that I call a super breeder, but I'm not if they've already been discovered or proven non-existent (I haven't found any info on them nor have I found any myself) basically (if you exclude patturns that behave chaotiacally...
