2nd response: I know that about infinite growth, however... a seven cell switch engine predecessor plus a bre-block is still ten cells so that may be possible still. No it wouldn't, because then you could simply remove the pre-block and have a 7-cell pattern with infinite growth. Actually not true....

Continuous unidimensional pattern is a polyomino, so why finding 1 cell thick such pattern is worth less than any other polyomino? Furthermore, smallest 1 cell thick pattern known (with breaks) consists of 12599 living cells, and its length is over one million! Continuous pattern with this property...

find the smallest continuous unidimensional line of cells that exhibits infinite growth. reward: 1,000 "GOL"d Do you mean it has to be a straight line of all 1s? If not, then x = 39, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 8ob5o3b3o6b7ob5o! find a seven cell predecessor for the switch engine, (this one may be impossi...

My current challenges. I challenge you to: find a continuous unidimensional line of cells that yields infinite growth. 55,000 "GOL"d find the smallest continuous unidimensional line of cells that exhibits infinite growth. reward: 110,000 "GOL"d find a continuous unidimensional line of cells that exh...

LWSS are very rare natural patterns.
On average, 1 LWSS is created by a soup for every 650 gliders it creates.
And soups/methuselae only create gliders in single/double digits!

YOu do have a very valid point. Thanks

Also, I would like to submit a couple patterns of my own. I know they are nothing truly extraordinary but I figure I might as well, if I wait they won't be valid to accept anymore. The first three create switch engines, and while I know that pattern wasn't discovered this year, I am positive these a...

As far as I know no-one else has claimed this as their own pattern independantly so thats what i'm doing While it is true no one else has claimed it as their own, this pattern already has a name called house. If you don't believe me, then go to the lifewiki and type in house. Sorry to burst your bu...

This pattern produces generation 2 of the R-Pentomino's life cycle plus a 3 cell spark, (which soon decays), on generation 13. Still a cool reaction.

A beehive fuse which uses a traffic light as a spark.

Here's a reaction between a trio of gliders and an elevener and block psuedo still life which yields a switch engine.

I'm pretty sure someone has discovered this before, based on its simple origional layout, but what the heck.

You have a point, what glider+something collisions do you have in mind?

I really need your opinions people, do you think sending out datapackets to numerous computers around the world is a waste of time, or is it a worthy cause? Please leave your comments and concerns.

THis is meant to be a collection/request forum for any outside collections of patterns from conway's game of life.

what do you think about it?

I liked the video.

That's basically the same spark I used in my first Life discovery, the "Heisenblinker" reaction:
Cool reaction there

Thanks, I have edited all the RLEs into a proper listing Um....they still don't work. It is because you don't have a line break before the actual code. Replace the space right after the rule with a line break. Ok, I believe I have actually fixed them for real this time. I tested a few of them just ...
